OK, so it's been almost 5 MONTHS since I last wrote. I guess you can say life's been busy, but things are going pretty well for the most part. So let's see...
Sydney is now 11, played basketball at the Boys & Girls Club again this fall, and is at least keeping his grades at an almost decent level right now. He's still a big LEGO and Star Wars freak and spent $150 of his saved money for large Star Wars LEGO sets. He won his Pack's Pinewood Derby this year, after not racing at all last year and having to twist his arm to do it this time on his last chance as a Cub Scout. That's right, our boy is now going over into Boy Scouts and dad is excited. The Arrow of Light ceremony is Feb 9.
Stephan was co-student director of the fall school play and will be student director for the spring one, Into the Woods. He is still keeping himself above a 3.0 GPA, too. He's looking to start school at Ivy Tech next year and then transfer for a filmmaking degree of some type. He constantly changes his hair style/color so you never know what to expect when you see him - he looks somewhat normal in this pic.
Samuel is still a terror - likely more so than 5 months ago. We can't keep ahead of him. He really does know his manners and is fun to play with though and is a joy to be around most of the time. He loves to help us work around the house and check on Pastor Tim working upstairs. He likes to see and talk with my parents on Skype, and is somewhat confused when they are able to be here in person. We had one of the largest snows on record recently, and he had a blast sledding down what hills we have here. He also moved into a real bed a couple weeks ago - it's a small race car.
Merrie and I still work though my business has obviously been fairly slow for the most part. The upstairs remodeling is STILL not done (typical for my home improvement projects), but we're getting close! Here is what will be our new bedroom where the bathroom used to be.
Unfortunately, we'll have to slow way down once the upstairs is done since I haven't been bringing in much money, but I still hope to have the downstairs mostly done by year end.
