i told you all that it is SO HARD for me to keep up with this BLOG!!! oh well, i am trying to post once a week now that things have settled down a bit. in case you haven't heard my SCREAMS of protest, yup...we have moved...to hill..billy..ville. it is so hard for me to type those words :( i miss my old house, and my old walmart, and my old church and friends and parks and library (the list can AND does go on and on). BUT, life is "gettin" better "round" here (see, i am EVEN learning how to talk like the locals) :) i DO love that it only takes 5 minutes to get to work and that i am actually only 2 blocks from sam and gabi's preschool. john is less than a mile from his work and johnny's school so it is a win-win for both of us. i also love that i am NEVER, NEVER, EVER in traffic! that is exciting, although i have less time to catch-up with mary on my cellphone. our neighborhood is older and has HUGE yards and HUGE oak trees and i love that too. HEB (my grocery store) is only 1 mile from my house and walmart is like 3 miles away. that is about it...no target, gymboree, children's place, mall, chick-fil-a, barnes and noble, scrapbook store...etc for at least 40 miles. so, we live here for the week and spend our weekends "back home" in san antonio.
john's soccer season is starting up in about a week or so. we are looking forward to a great season and hope to make it to state! let's all pause to say a little prayer now...DEAR LORD..please help johnny's soccer team make it to state AND WIN. the team needs this, the school needs this, he needs this and i WANT this...so...he can have a better chance at getting a coaching job in san antonio next year :) silly i no, but i don't lie.
here are a few pics from the past month. the kids are doing great! sam is so loving school and has made so many new friends. gabi has decided that she likes the way her friends TASTE (yes i did just type T A S T E) and has chosen to BITE..um..urr..T A S T E them DAILY...YIKES!! actually, she has "social issues" with a certain little blond 2-year old whom we shall call "K". let's see, this child is strong-willed, fiesty, cute as can be and B-O-S-S-Y.....sound just like ms. gabi! (no wonder they don't mix). we have decided that it is best to keep these 2 on seperate parts of the playground....girls! and johnny just made the 7th grade basketball team! he is so excited and loves that he has been starting most games!
