Yeah, yeah, I know! It's been too long since the last update! Sorry about that. Things around here never stop though. As soon as we think our schedule is about to lighten up, something else gets added to it! At any rate, we heard from Zack a few weeks ago. He seems to be doing a little better. Even his Counselor says he's doing a little better. But, being that he's a Teen, he's going through some of that typical teen stuff, like not letting go of things like he should, which ultimately, gets him into a little bit of trouble. But it is encouraging to hear that he is trying to get it and himself under control. For that, we are grateful and hopeful. More updates on Zack when we see him next, which will hopefully be this coming weekend!
Amy is having a great time volunteering at the girls school. This is probably the first time I've seen her come home from doing something with a smile on her face in quite some time. She really loves working with the kids, and the kids really like her too! I've gone with her to drop off the girls for school and it's amazing to see 47 out 50 Kindergartners rushing up to Amy and hugging her and saying: "Hello, Mrs. Felton!! Are you staying today?" The smile on the kids faces says it all and the smile on Amy's face as they all approach her is priceless. As for myself, work has been a roller coaster. Busy, not busy, busy, not busy and finally, it's looking like we're going to get busy here within the next week. That's a good sign! We've managed to pick up a few good sized accounts that should keep us busy for a long time to come! Job security baby!!! And in case you didn't know it, the Spring Soccer season is going to be in full swing here pretty soon. The season starts April 7th, and yes, I am Coaching again this year! I promised the girls that I would keep coaching as long as they want to keep playing. I know all three girls probably will not stick with the game for long, but I do hope that Faith will. She has turned out to be a pretty gifted player. We just need to get her to concentrate on controlling the ball better and she will be unstoppable out there on that field! She really seems to have a genuine love for the game. And because of these girls, I've grown to love it myself. Something I never thought would happen.
As for school, all three girls are doing well. They all seem to like it and they get good reports from the teacher and the aids! They sometimes have a bit of a problem with doing homework, but hey, what kid doesn't!? Yes, they have homework in Kindergarten now. Unbelievable, but they do. Mostly Math too! Talk about a pain in the hind quarters! Whatever happened to letting kids be kids for awhile!? At any rate, the girls really don't complain all that much about the homework, so I guess that's good. I hear most parents complain more than the kids do. And being that Amy and I are members of the PTA, I hear them complain a lot! I do hope that with all that they are pushing on these kids at this age, that they don't get burned out too early. By the time I got to High School, I was already burned out. School just failed to catch my interest by then. I don't want that to happen to our girls. So, to help keep them going, I've been leaving them notes on their Dry Erase Board on their Art Center that they had received for Christmas. This is something that happened quite by accident really. One day, I decided that I was going to be a very cool Dad and write a sweet little note to my girls! Well guess what! Now that I did that, I have to do it every day now because they expect it!! But you know what, it's a small price to pay for the happiness of my girls! And it seems to help them get off to school a little easier too. And anything I can do to help make that easy for them, then I'll do it every day for the rest of their school days till they graduate!
Well, that's it for now everyone! I'm going to try to not let so much time pass between updates, but I can't make any promises. Besides, if I update all the time, there will be hardly anything left to talk about! Till next time...
