Family Updates

Sorry, I don't have a picture to attach with this one. Our computer is not cooperating these days. But, please read on! There's lots to tell. T was just accepted on to the gymnastics pre-team at her gym. It's quite an honor because several of the athletes here are olympic medalists. This is the premier gym in the Valley and very well respected. T was evaluated by the owner of the gym and olympic athlete Chris Waller and then offered a spot on the team. It's a great opportunity, and I think T will learn many valuable life lessons with this experience. Plus, she's already getting so strong! She did 6 pull-ups on the bar the other day!!! I can't even do one. She woke up this morning and told me her whole body was sore from the previous day's three hour practice. But, she was happy because she loves what she does.
A recently completed private swimming lessons with a fabulous instructor here. He learned to swim on the second lesson! In fact, he was doing canon balls into the deep end at our pool and swimming all over by the 3rd lesson! Needless to say, I won't have to worry so much about him every day this summer when we're at the pool. He's also learning to ride his bike without training wheels. Daddy of course is taking that one.
R loves his job!!!! That's all I can say about that...Sorry!:)
I currently teach at two clubs in the area and love it. One is just 5 minutes away, which is great since gas is over $4.00/gallon! I also might be working part-time as an instructor at a tutoring center for Honors students preparing for college and SATS. But salary is still under negotiation, so I'll let you know how that pans out.
Overall, we love it here. I think we're here to stay for a while. What a relief that is, since we've been on the move our whole married life. Keep in touch you fabulous people!
