Kyle
Kyle has been writing a "spot" in a newsletter sent to my grandfather and grandmother. What I have been reminded by his writings that he expresses himself very well in writing. I knew this once, but had forgotten it. Having him write over the past three months has been so enlightening for me, as I'm able to learn a little of what he is truly enjoying in life. So delightful for me to read, in fact, that I'm going to post his writings here.
JANUARY
The other day, Friday, January 15th I went to our school movie night. The name of the movie was UP. I got to go to the movie with my friends. It was fun. I liked the movie. It was funny, but also sad.
I hope you guys had a great New Year! I sure did!! I’m going to enjoy writing to you guys! I love you!
FEBRUARY
I’ve been going to the Sportsmen’s Club on Fridays. The Sportsmen’s club is a place where you can go and shoot at targets with a bow or guns. My friends go there too, it’s a lot of fun! At our school we’ve been pretty excited because pretty soon we’re going to Camp Daggett, where we’ll be able to climb ropes and rock walls and go on a zip-line. We’re also selling Krispy Kreme Donuts to raise money to go there. I can’t wait. I hope you guys are doing well!
MARCH
I’ve been really excited and looking forward to spring break, which is coming up next week. I’m also really excited because I’m on a soccer team and my dad and my friend’s dad are the coaches. We’ve already had a couple of practices, we practice in an ice rink. It doesn’t have the ice on it though! At the end of each practice we do a lot of running, which makes me exhausted, but I still like it and think it’s fun. We also have scrimmages, which are a lot of fun. The last time we had one, which was Thursday, March 18th, I scored a goal! Our practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which are the same days as our P.E. days at school, so I’m really worn out at the end of the day!! I hope you guys are doing well and enjoying the letters!

It's been so long, it took me 30 minutes on dial up to reconfigure my password and remind myself what my username was for my blog... I'm back!
It has been so long I feel as if just updates are in order:
Kyle
Since my last post Kyle turned 12, is still in the 5th grade and is probably looking forward to spring break now that winter break is over! He is doing well in his studies, he got off to a rough start at the beginning of the second trimester, but from what I can tell he’s improved and holding steady since. Christmas was spent down state with family and this I know Kyle loves. He enjoys all of his relatives and is always excited about spending time with them. We are planning on a travel soccer team for Kyle this spring. Gregg and another father will coach. Games will be played on Sundays (if anyone wants to work it into their schedule) and we’ll be traveling the Northern Michigan area for a few weeks to get them all in (Petoskey, TC, Cheboygan, Gaylord). Kyle has a science project due in April for the "5th Grade Science Fair". I've struggled with this one, working to keep my own desire to complete the project at bay.
Jack
Jack is 2 1/2 and we often hear comments about what a ham he is, and how much trouble he's going to cause us one day down the road. Unfortunately, I agree with these comments! Jack still keeps us running, he remains to be a busy kid. He's recently gone through a stage of fits at day care drop off time. I'm pretty sure it's just the separation and it will pass (in fact after at least a month of such fits, this morning was quite mild). He loves Diego, anything outside, he's all boy (that includes the passing of gas, stinky smells and hunting). Speaking of hunting. I've said it before, but I must share a few of his comments. It quickly reminds me of the house I live in..
#1: I was calling Gretchen in from outside (as she was taking her sweet time) and Jack exclaimed, "I think her smell coyote!".
#2: Just today, Jack spent five minutes showing me how to use the plastic hanger as a bow. I seemed to place my hand in the wrong spot every time!
#3: I was busy making monkey bread at the kitchen counter when Jack asked what was in my hand. I said, "dough", to which he got very excited and exclaimed, "A DEER!?!".
His newest quirk is a backpack. He wore it today to daycare, and the look on his face, walking next to his big brother with his backpack was PRICELESS!. He proceeded to wear it to the doctors office as well. It's a bit of a Diego thing, I'm fairly certain.
And, now, I'm called away (didn't help that I spend 30 minutes trying to log in).. Hopefully more later.
