After a month-long hiatus spent recuperating from Christmas, I guess I should share what we've been up to! We had a wonderful Christmas, but it always takes me a while to regroup after the excitement of the holidays. We're finally feeling like we're comfortable again in our usual routine, and the kids are glad to be back in all their normal activities and co-ops.
Avery is still heavily involved with swimming and loving it, and Rhys is taking a bit of an extra-curricular break before spring sports start up again. He has decided to try soccer again this spring and wait until the fall to play another season of T-ball. I think soccer will be good for him, since he spends hours at a time at home running in circles around the living room (with a Star Wars ship in hand, making shooting sounds). The boy has endurance that won't quit! The kids are also beginning practice for a production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and I've been amazed at how committed they are to learning their lines.
I spent the weeks around the holiday very busy with work (ok, maybe it was only 15 hours a week, but it was more than I was used to!), and now I'm glad to be back to my usual 8-10 hours a week of working. I usually work one weekend afternoon a week, and since Bill works from home, Avery has taken on a lot of responsibility while I'm gone. She supervises her brothers and makes dinner every week. It's so nice for Bill and I both to finish working and not have to make dinner! She's become quite the cook, and she really likes to do it!
