a quick update

I really don't have a whole lot to report on the news front. We just took Henry to 'the rock beach' which is the beach at the end of Telegraph Bay. It was his first excursion in the car since being picked up from the breeder. He went in his crate and did well. We were busy at the beach collecting beach rocks for the "100 Days of School" celebration coming up as each child is to bring a collection of 100 of something. Jamie wanted to shoot for 100 pieces of beach glass but I think that's a bit of a stretch and a HUGE search. I suggested drawing a dog bone and gluing 100 pieces of dog food on it -- seeing as our big excitement of late has been the arrival of Henry. I got a "Moooooooooooooom!" when I suggested that so we needed to review the cardinal rule of brain storming: no one's idea gets called lame. Hmmph!

Jamie has been back at soccer each Saturday morning and his coach says he's "awesome. fearless. talks the team up. shares the ball. great scorer. awesome footwork." Yay Jamie!! Oh, I guess I should say Jim is busy coaching the team... ;-)

Charlie is enjoying swimming lessons on Saturday mornings. He gets to see his BFF Nila and I get to sit and chat with Tannis while the kiddies swim. We frantically wave every so often so they know we're watching and every other child BUT C &N wave back. Oh well. Someone in the water knows they're loved.

Jim and I are same old, same old. I'm working at fitness toward the 10K in April. Sigh. My running partner is another kindergarten mom. She LOOKS really nice but is really a harsh task master. Again, the lesson of don't judge a book by it's cover presents itself. Nah, kidding. Shannon and I are a great pace and endurance match which is key for this sort of thing. Jim is getting his exercise with hackey sack. Yes, you read that right. Hackey sack.

That's it for us. Big love to all,
T xo
