Hello all....not much happening down south here in the land of Okies. School/work is going well...although the semester seems to be zipping along rather quickly. Funny how it seems to do that every semester. First it is Monday and before you know it, it is Friday....swoosh!!!!...another week bites the dust.
I drained the kids' pool last weekend...takes awhile to drain 1500 gallons of water...lol...and let it dry for a week and folded it up and put it away today with the help of j and a....well mostly Jamie...lol. Seemed rather odd putting the pool away...considering it was in the low 90's...but the cooler weather will be here soon enough.
Catherine and I went halfers on Jamie's new instrument of choice....yes it is a fact...he is going to be following in the family tradition of drums. In 5th grade, the students start playing band instruments and he chose the snare drum. But he has to start off with 'bells' first...bells for those of you uninformed in the world of bells is a 2 and 1/2 octave set of what looks to me like a xylophone. He seems happy playing them...he gets to learn to read music via learning bells. He then later moves on to the snare. He now has a set of bells, snare, stand, practice pad, sticks, and case on wheels. He seems happy about his choice, so far. We will see if he sticks with it.
Andrew is progressing along well in 2nd grade...although he must read more at home(s)...which is a good activity for him anyway and for the parental units.
Zoe seems to be adjusting to life here rather well. She gets along well the ruler of the house, the cat 'Smokey'. They sleep side by each in my room on respective beds on the floor...so all is well there. Jamie and Andrew played with Zoe for quite awhile today...getting her to fetch her rubber bone....she is a good fetcher. Lives up to her lineage of being a Retriever.
Well bye for now and remember...
