Catching Up

So much has been going on since last month that I just haven't had time to update you all on our world.  I'm going to do my best to bring you up to speed.

Grace continues to do well in school and brought home straight As for the third quarter.  She continues to participate in the We R Odell chorus and will join them in singing the National Anthem at two baseball games this year - the Charlotte Knights and the Kannapolis Intimidators.  Her involvement in the Girls on the Run program has been going well too.  We are closing in on our 5K at the end of April.  Hopefully we can run at least part of it though most of the time we have run indoors so the transition to outside may be difficult.  Finally she has officially committed to the Certified Instructor in Training program at karate.  Over the next few years she will learn about being a karate instructor and will slowly participate in leading the younger classes to gain experience.  Her instructor had so many wonderful things to say about her and how she has grown over the past 3 years; he and I were both crying.

The boy has started his second season of baseball.  He is having a blast.  Now that he understands the game and what to do we've seen a lot of improvement.  His first game was this past weekend - I was out of town but David said he played well.  He still has good days and bad days at school but thankfully the good ones outweigh the bad.

The week before Easter was Spring Break for our school district.  I still don't understand why people make such a big deal over spring break for elementary school kids and we certainly didn't plan a crazy getaway.  The kids spent their week at their after school facility and enjoyed different activities.  Although I did take the afternoon off the last day so we could enjoy a movie.

That about sums it up for us.  I'm sure I've missed something but we are always on the go so it's difficult to remember what I did yesterday let alone three weeks ago.  Here's a couple of pics of the kids to enjoy.
