Life

Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything, so I guess we are just ready for an update. School is back in session and all three kids are doing very well. Morgan is in 6th grade and has adjusted to the increase in homework well. Maggie is in 4th grade and she is loving it. Marshall is in 1st grade and loves to do his math homework! Every year I worry that he will show his argumentative side to his teacher, but so far he has managed to keep that personality trait in check at school. His teacher called the other night to say that he is doing well and she has no concerns!

The kids have already started their school year activities. Morgan and Marshall go to school by 7 a.m. everyday for either open gym or "Rowdy Redbirds" basketball fundamentals. Maggie has her tap/jazz/gymnastic class on Monday nights. She loves her class! This will be her 7th year at Meri's Dance Studio. It just seems like yesterday that she began! Morgan is busy in Boy Scouts and Marshall finally got to join Cub Scouts. We haven't really started activities yet, but he is proud to be a Scout like his brother!

Greg is going to have spinal fusion surgery on October 2, so please pray for his speedy recovery! His back pain has been pretty bad for a couple of years and he was getting epidural shots for them, but they had stopped working, so we went to see a surgeon and surgery is the only way to get his pain under control at this point. So, we are very hopeful that this is going to help him and that he will be pain free following surgery!

Other than that, just regular stuff going on. We have a Parent/Teacher Organization Family Fund Day tomorrow and it looks as if the weather is going to be beautiful for it!

That is all for now!
