In full force...




This week, Gracie went back to school after being sick awhile. She seems to be doing much better, but she still has an awful cough. The flu has hit full force here in Nashville, and so far, we have been very lucky to avoid it.

Gracie also began softball this week. We had practice on Wednesday night, and she will practice again tomorrow afternoon. She has a new coach, and we are very excited about the new season. We think this will be a much better experience than it was in the spring.

Today, we had a soccer game and pics. Our team lost, but they sure played hard. Those kids run their little tails off on that soccer field. It is a blast to watch! They have so much fun and work so hard. They definitely deserve their snacks after the game.

We found out this week that Gracie is qualified for the gifted program at school. We thought she was, but it was finally confirmed for us. She will begin classes for that program this coming week. I am quite skeptical about all this, but I am trying to give things a chance and be optimistic.

To say we are busy is quite the understatement. Some days I feel like I am running so fast I might actually meet myself in the middle somewhere. :-)

Sickness...

Gracie has been quite sick since Wednesday of last week. She developed adenoid virus, which most people have never heard of. Anyway, she missed school Wednesday through Friday. We thought she was getting better, but then she woke up this morning sick again. It just seems like an endless cycle.

On another note, soccer is in full swing again. The team has won the first two games. This week the game was ugly, but they won anyway. The kids are having fun, and that is all that really matters anyway. Gracie begins softball again this week. Her first practice with the new coach is Wednesday. She is busy as a bee with guitar lessons, softball, and soccer. We also try to through in a little schooling every once in awhile. :-)
