Hi everyone,

 

           Not a whole lot has occurred since my last update. We are still remodeling our home. Our latest project has been focusing on one bedroom upstairs that will soon be Nicholas'. The basement bedroom was a bad idea. He won't even go down there to grab a toy, much less sleep down there at night. His room upstairs will be smaller, but nice and bright and close to us, which is what he really wants. Alex, on the other hand, hasn't minded having her bedroom in the basement and thoroughly enjoys it. Now Nicholas' old bedroom will be the guest bedroom. It works out fine, cuz any future guests will have more privacy and their own bathroom. We are hoping to Have Nick's room complete by Thanksgiving weekend.

 

           Now on to work and school. I absolutely love my job. It is going extremely well. I work part time and I am now the Elm facilitator for the building, which means I attend facilitator meetings, and set up meeting for the Elm teachers, among a few other duties. I love the children that I work with. I look forward to going to work every day. Alexandra and Nicholas are doing very well in school. Alex has 5 A's and 1 B. She is in her 3rd year of basketball right now. Her team is called the "Sparks". She is becoming quite the rebounder! She went on a big 4 day trip to Lake City, Colorado. She went hiking, repelling, high roping, etc. She loved every minute of it. Nicholas is a star student at Wingate Elem. He is the 1st grade student councilman, and has many good friends. Baseball is still his life. Every extra time that he has, he uses it outside with a glove and a baseball. The downfall to it is he broke his first window a month ago. It just happened to be the window to his new bedroom. We have yet to get that fixed.

 

          Mike is now working in Aspen as of last month. He is in charge of a water park there that will be finished in one year. The drive is horrid, compared to Vail. The true test will be when the snow begins up there. Highway 82 is also known as Killer 82. I'll worry about him this winter. I hope who all that reads this is doing well and that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Happy Birthday, Dad!

 

Have a great day!!
