So, I'm probably the worst blogger ever. My life is just so crazy sometimes. So, quick recap of the last 3 months...
Nicolas went to 2 more sleep away camps this summer and fell in love with his counselors at both camps. He started 7th grade at the beginning of September and is doing well. This year we hope he'll grow a lot academically because he's adjusted to the school he's in. Unfortunately, 6th grade was a transition year for him, not much growth because he needed to get used to being in middle school.
Sophie is Sophie. My nine year old going on 40. One new thing for Sophie this year is her participation in competitive cheerleading at Badger All Stars here in Madison. Its a great program and I already see her self confidence building. We'll be traveling to competitions, the first is October 19th in Peoria, IL.
Work at home has been slow, but I've taken a new position as an on-call coder at St. Mary's Hospital. It seems like a very good fit for us with the kids needing me home by 3 pm every day.
I turned 35 on August 17th - and to treat myself I finally bought my red convertible I've been wanting. Lucky me!
On August 23rd a tree fell on the house, crushing and destroying the master bedroom closet. Nice to get a big check for shopping, not so nice to have to deal with the water, the contractors and the mess. Just about done cleaning it up and I used the opportunity to move my laundry upstairs... woohoo!!

My nephew Kendric is smoking up the football field as the varsity captain at Monona Grove High School. We try to catch all his home games. He also made homecoming court!
My neice Alyssa is doing well with her baby Rhianna. Sophie's biggest complaint is that we don't get to see her enough.
My neice Chandra and her husband Nick welcomed their son, Wyatt to the world on October 2, 2007 after a crash c-section. Mom and baby are doing well and he looks a lot like his daddy.
I really want to try to keep up better... this really is a good way to keep everyone up to date on what's going on with us...
coming soon.... pictures of my awesome red car!
