I'm Back (I Hope)

Hi folks! I know...it's been so long since I've blogged. It's really bad when you are talking to your mother and she says, "it's been so long since a post!" And then she hears Jill is at my house and she says, "tell her hi and she needs to blog".

Life gets so busy sometimes and it's hard to find time for everything. But I'm trying to make the most of my time and get on the computer sometimes. So here's the latest scoop:

Kat: I'm currently training to run my 1st marathon on Dec. 5. It's in Vegas. I'm going with several other people who I run with on a weekly basis. I've really enjoyed the training and running with others on Sunday morning, but I will be a little glad when all I have to run is 8-10 miles instead of 15-20. Work is busy as usual. Still love my job.

Jeff: Teaching is going well. He's taken a new responsibility, AVID. It's a class of 28 freshmen who will stay with him for four years. They are smart, but at risk for not going to college when they graduate from HS. They are a little selfish, so he's had several discussions about being good team players. He is in his last year of school to get his Masters in Education. I think he'll be glad when that's done.

L: in kindergarten and LOVING IT!!! She is doing so well (not to brag). she is reading really well. We went to a school function last night and heard three teachers (besides her own) tell us how much they enjoy L. Made my day. She is such a good girl.

Reggie: fat, lazy and sweet. Loves begin the big animal in the house.

Squeekles and Carrot: who you say? Oh yes, we bought two baby guinea pigs a couple months ago. They will be featured in an upcoming post. They are adorable and we all (including Reggie) love them. Although, I was not happy to find they pulled the water plug out of their jar, spilling water everywhere. Turkeys.

That's all for now. I think maybe I just wrote my Christmas letter out too. Woo hoo! One more thing done.
