I know, I know...I'm a bad blogger

I promise we are all alive and kickin'. We've had a busy summer, and haven't had as many opportunitites to blog. Here are some quick updates:

VICTORIA:
Victoria attended Summer Pals in June and loved her class. She studied dinosaurs and can now tell you our state dinosaur, as well as facinating facts about these beloved creatures. She has even adopted her very own dinosaur, Marisol, and helped host a dinosaur baby shower. Victoria will be in 2nd grade this fall, and is thrilled to be possibly sharing the same teacher with Kaylei.

CAROLINA:
Carolina is now approaching her 5th month, and is a very happy baby. She has been sleeping through the night (8pm-5am), and enjoys rolling from her back to her belly. She has discovered that she is delicious, and therefore "eats" her hands all day long. Bibs don't stay dry very long in our house, but she manages to make saliva look adorable. Carolina will start going to a sitter when her mom goes back to work in the fall.

JEFF:
Jeff has taken over as Southwest Sports Editor for CPI, working with two other sports reporters on three publications, covering eight schools. Check out his sports blog @: southwestsports.wordpress.com. He is getting close to attaining "Apprentice Barista" status at Kaldi's and is also carving out time to train for his second 1/2 marathon.

MELODY:
Melody taught summer school in June, and despite popular belief, she LOVED it! She taught the Developmental Speech and Language class, and had 9 students. She learned a lot about teaching, and hopes to teach the class again next summer. She has also started worked prn (as needed) at Cox South Acute Care Therapy Dept. as a Speech Pathologist. She loves the challenge presented in the acute setting and will work one weekend a month and occasional holidays throughout the year. She will continue to work for Springfield Schools full-time.
