Not dead yet...

Amaryllis has been nagging me that I haven't posted in a while. It's been pretty crazy at home and at work. We had a family member in the hospital, and election season has practically made City Hall a "Stop!" "Go!" "WAIT!" war zone. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go in tomorrow to find out that bathroom trips need to be vetted through the mayor's office.



We took the boys to a tae-kwon-do tournament a couple of weeks ago. Jonathan took third place in the patterns competition for white belts. It was really cool, except he beat his older brother to do it. There were some tears, but in the end everyone enjoyed themselves. They test for their next belt in a couple of weeks. It will be nice to see a little color in their uniforms. They started sparring last week, and I sewar Gabe has been wearing his mouth guard to school.



Kate is doing ballet (a consolation prize for being too young to do tae-kwon-do, which is what she really wanted). She goes with one of her little friends. It has some tumbling and body awareness thrown in so every once in a while you will see her drop and do a forward roll. Every once in a while she asks me to pick her up so she can practice "jumping." Perhaps someday she will be the only member of the American Ballet Theater with a knowledge of lightsaber combat.
