I hope everyone is doing well. We've had a busy week and I thought I'd update a little.

Quentin was invited to participate in a county wide cross country meet for 4-6th graders. He finished 12th out of the boys division. He did very well. His two soccer games this weekend were cancelled for different reasons. That's always a bummer for him. We had a sixth grade meeting at school to meet with a middle school counselor to go over their schedules for next year. (I'm not ready for him to start middle school) He had to answer some questions about things he enjoys and then with the answers they chose him a "career". His career choice at this time was a business or sales person. Now, if any of you know him that is not something I could see him doing. I sort of hope that changes as he gets older. Who knows what the future holds for him. It is wonderful to watch him grow and see him become a young man. I hate him growing up but, I know everyone has to.

Alexandra went for her two month check up and she's growing like a weed. She weighs 11 pounds and 3 ounces and she is 24 inches long. She had to get two sets of shots and she cried for a good fifteen minutes afterward. I even cried with her. She goes back at four months and I'm making her dad go with us. I just can't hold her down for more shots. She just started to grasp items (like my hair) and she can hold her rattlers for a few seconds. She has finally stopped crying during bath time. She is just a happy and sweet little thing. I can't believe how lucky we are to have two wonderful and healthy kids.

That's all for now, take care and have a wonderful week.

Alexandra

OK, I have officially joined the blogger world. I hope this will help keep everyone updated to what is going on in our lives. We have had such a wonderful year and I hope and pray it continues to get better with each passing day. I know many of you would like updates on Quentin and Alexandra so I hope I can keep up with this. Only time will tell.

First, Alexandra is growing so quickly each day. I have a girl that works at the daycare that comes in twice a week and each week I hear from her how much Allie has grown since the last week. Allie is already sleeping through the night and she's only 2 1/2 months. I know I'm blessed. She smiles all the time and loves to lay on her blanket and look up at her toys. She will scream in delight at it. Who knows what she is thinking. We just introduced her to rice cereal yesterday and she did really well (well If you don't consider how much she spits out). She did even better tonight. I can't say how much of a blessing she is.

Next is Quentin. He has been playing soccer now for a few weeks. He is so talented when it comes to sports. (I know he gets his athletic ability from me) just kidding. I don't have an athletic bone in my body. He just started up basketball last week. The season doesn't start until December but the coaches wanted to start having practices now so hopefully the team can compete at the tournaments. He just brought home his midterm and he had all A's. He is such an excellent student. I couldn't ask for a better son.

Well, that's all for tonight chat with all of you later.
