Since I've noticed a few visits to the site, I thought I'd give a little update. :) It's been a little while, so there's plenty to mention. I'll start with Frank's racing, since that was the last subject. Frank and Joe finished 4th overall for the year. They were hoping for better, but they still did pretty well. The racing program for this year is still up in the air. Cycle Connection was the main sponsor, but, like most companies, doesn't have a lot of extra $$$ in the budget, so may not be able to sponsor this year. Damian does plan to race again this year. He's excited about the BMX season, which will start in April. Frank is on the Board of Directors for the track, but positions on the board have not been voted yet, so we don't know what he'll be doing, exactly. Angel plans to sing for the track again this year. She sings the National Anthem before each race, every Tues. and Thurs. At the end of the year awards banquet, she was presented with a plaque for "Best Female Vocalist". Damian was given a Daredevil Award. :) In other sports news, Angel is still in dance at A&B Dance Center, Angie's studio. She's taking ballet and tap, and may do a duet for the recital also. She's also very excited about taking gymnastics again - which starts today.
Damian's also in scouts now. The Pinewood Derby is coming up in less than 3 weeks, and he's eager to start working on his car. I think Frank's eager, too. They may be a little competitive! ;)
Our daily family life is getting a little closer to normal again, now that Sean and his kids are living next door. We were a little cramped for a while, all living in a small 2 bedroom duplex. I still take care of his kids during the day. Sean has a new job, and is starting school next week. He's going into nursing. Julie came to visit this week. I would have liked for her to stay even longer, but it was nice to see her for a couple days, anyway. She seems to be doing pretty well. She brought a friend and joni's son, Braden, with her. The kids always enjoy playing w/ their cousins. :) julie has been approved to go back to school by her doctors, which is great news!
We recently got to visit with my Aunt Amy and most of her family, too. That was a lot of fun. It's been YEARS since we'd seen them. They were staying for a couple days in Branson, and we met them there. Mom, Alyssa, Ian and Ruby all came from Warrensburg, and we all spent some time at The Landing in Branson and had dinner together. It was a great mini-reunion. :) Mom told me a couple days ago that Amy's family rolled their truck on the way home. They slid off the road on ice in AZ. It was very scary, but thankfully, everyone is ok.
Well, that pretty much catches you up to the middle of January for my family. :) I'd love to hear how your family is doing, also. :) Take care, and thanks for checking in.
