Boys are back in school. I'm really hoping that this is a good year for both of them. Steve is ... well Steve is home a lot more these days, which is a blessing and a curse. Dang Economy!  Good news is that he is starting to make some real headway on that extremely long To-Do list. :)

Declan is in seventh grade this year and will be participating in Band, Boy Scouts, running on the cross country team, and taking music lessons on top of regular studies and a very busy social life.

Angus will also be in the Boy Scouts and running on the cross country team. he just got new running shoes and somehow moved up to size 11.5. I don't understand how that happened. He barely wears through sneakers anymore because his feet are growing at a freakish rate. 

Isaiah is making changes by leaps and bounds. Just recently he learned how to walk backwards, clap his hands with purpose and give high-fives, and put a ball into a container instead of just dumping everything OUT onto the floor. Amazing. He really is a delightful little buggar.

I'm lining up my limited volunteer activities for the year at the school and library. I'm still not interested in overextending myself too much. Nonetheless, there will be fundraising events to help plan, book sale to organize, the 7th grade play, etc. etc. etc.
