Well it's been awhile since I've been on here to write anything. Which means we have been busy and a lot has gone on.
Football and volleyball season has ended and our weekends won't be taken up so much with kids sports. We do have a volleyball tournament left to play on 10-31-09.
Koen had a great time playing flag football this year. It was his last year to play flag. If he wants to play next year it will be tackle. Yikes!! I am not sure I am ready for that. He did awesome in football. Koen played quarterback quite a few times. He liked playing defense. He threw his first interception on 10-17-2009. I gave him a hard time. Kind-of :)
Kenna played really well in volleyball and even served overhand sometimes. I showed her how to dink the ball over the net and I think she really enjoyed learning some new 'tricks' in volleyball.
Kammie is really getting into school and liking it a lot. She had school pictures today and she likes wearing dresses. This surprises me because she has always been very tomboyish. I gave her a 'trim' and she got really upset and said she wanted her hair back!
Kampman has been a growing 18 month old. He is learning so many new words. One of my favorites is "tongue" The kids like making him say things. Especially their names. K.J. was sick and taking antibiotics for about two weeks. He took amoxicillon which is the "pink stuff" One time while I was giving it to him he said "pink" It was his first color he recognized!
Jed ran his 2nd marathon on 10-18-2009. He did great and shaved somewhere between 11 and 15 minutes off his time. I say between because he had a delay of 20-24 minutes waiting for the airforce personnel to open the gate at the 9 mile mark. The marathon started in Derby and went for 9 miles then it went onto McConnell Airforce base for the next 9 miles, then it finished in downtown Wichita. Right away he said "I am never doing that again" but within 1 hr he said "next time I run a marathon....." We are very proud of him.
Nothing new with me! I did not train to do the half marathon, and my partner for the marathon relay moved away so I did not train for that. Basically I am not training to run at all, but maybe in the future I will.
The kids are excited for halloween eventhough Kampman is the only one with a costume so far. I am hoping I can make the other kids with stuff around the house. If only I could get so lucky!!
Anyway, until next time....
God Bless,
Melissa
