Things around here

So things around here are all about "ball" right now.  Be it baseball, or Tball that is the zone we are in.  We have had 11 games so far the last 3 weeks with 9 more the next 3 weeks.  Both Jared and Ally have done great.  Every week we start the week with looking at the calendar and seeing who has what games and what nights.  It has been crazy, but we have loved watching them learn, grow and gain confidence and meet new friends.

Speaking of ball, I signed the same 2 children up for soccer in the fall.  Yes, more balls!  A big argument people have with homeschooling is, "what about social interaction?"  Well, my answer to that is sports, church, and play dates with others who home school.  There are LOTS of home school families here in "The Burg." There is even a home school co-op that I think I am going to get into this next year as a side thing for the kiddos.

The school year is coming to a rapid close.  Jared is loving it, and isn't too excited that school will be done, so I'm sure he will continue to do schooling through out the summer at his discretion.  Ally loves her preschool and is going to have a big end of the year party and graduation.  Not sure on the dates yet, but it is coming up.  Carys keeps talking about "when she was a kid" which cracks me up, since she is only 3 and barely counts as a kid now. 

Carys went to the doc today and was diagnosed with allergies and has meds, (sorry sweetheart I passed down awesome genes I know.)  Her doctor was very impressed with her vocabulary and her behavior.  She was so great for him.  He told her "I wish all my 3 year olds were like you."  She just said "Thank You!" 

I've got some great kids.
