Wow! Almost two years have passed since my last post! Guess life got in the way of blogging! Happy to say I'm hoping to rekindle my posts since i do enjoy the outlet blogging affords me. For now, I'll fill you all in on what's been happening since my last post. Which really means updating you on my kids because everyone knows that's what this blog is all about.
I'll start with J. My oldest baby is now 20, yes 20 years old! He went off to Belmont Abbey College and was quite happy there. He loved the school, the baseball tram, and college life in general. Unfortunately, things didn't go as well as they should have and he has spent his second year of college back at home attending the local college. He's done well and is set to return to Belmont Abbey for the spring 2017 semester. Baseball is even still on the table which gives him great motivation. In addition to school, J has been working at our local Publix and helping to coach his sister's Little league team. He has a real knack for coaching and think he may be considering a coaching career. Time will tell. So keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a successful return to the Abbey and the ball field!
N has discovered his niche in the theater. He go involved in the excellent community theater in our town two years ago and has appeared in several productions. He' not only an excellent singer and actor, he also loves working the tech side of shows. He thoroughly enjoyed his first year of high school. A big change is coming for him this fall though. The other high school in town is starting up a fine arts academy. N applied and was accepted. He's so excited about getting to immerse himself in theater. This summer he has his first lead role as Ryan Evans in High School Musical at the community playhouse. He'll be turning 16 in September which hardly seems possible. He's starting to think about college and talks about his future on the stage all the time. I seem to have a knack for producing kids with crazy dreams!
That brings me to A. My sassy girl is 10 years old and as sassy as ever. She loves playing baseball, though she is considering a switch to softball. And she is still heavily involved in competitive baton twirling. In fact, this past year and a half has been a time of tremendous growth for her as a twirler. She's twirling at an advanced level and holding her own against some very tough competition. This summer she'll be competing in three different national competitions for three different twirling organizations, in three different states. Stay tuned for updates from the road as we travel the country!
School just ended for us and we're enjoying our summer. In addition to the baton trips, we have a trip planned with my family and a weekend trip with an awesome group of friends. We're also hoping to sneak down to Miami for a quick visit with Coach C. He just finished his second year of law school at Georgetown and is interning with a law firm down south for the summer. So the summer is sure to fly by and it will be time to return to school before we know it. In the meantime, I'll be posting on a regular basis. I hope you'll enjoy sharing our summer adventures with us!
