We have finally made it...

With the encouragement from my sister we are now trying to have a little blog page to keep track of our hectic life. With two kids, work and Anna going back to get her Ph.D, we will probably have an entry once or twice per year. But it is a start.

Update on the family:
Emma just finished up a year of dance classes and her big recital was last night. Only $800 to see her dance for 120 seconds. Well worth it. She is also participating in t-ball and we occasionally go hit a golf ball or two. We aren't sure yet if she really wants to play sports or just enjoys the post game snack so much that she puts up with the practices and games.

Freya is a really funny child. She is a little over 9 months now, but is in the 91st percentile in height and weight...so she looks like a one year old. Not walking yet, but I give it a month before she is doing that. So far she has been a pretty laid back child...quite a difference from her sister.

Anna is just starting back to get her Ph.D in Early Childhood Education at the University of Kentucky. Apparently you don't call in on the phone to register for classes and things have changed a lot in the 10 years since we have been in school. Also a Blackboard is no longer a physical object in the classroom.

I am still working with the YMCA in Frankfort. Work is great and fun and it is nice to be able to have the family come see me at work during the day. Golf is my most active hobby and I try to get out at least twice per week. Hard to fit in with all the other activities, but with the long days of summer upon us I can get out at 6am or 8pm when the rest of the family is asleep.

I'm so glad that you are starting a blog. I'll be sure to remind you to post regularly and keep us updated! Had fun at our visit.

Anna, Good luck with the Ph.D. It will be worth it in the end. Then you can trump Zack in all family discussions with, "Trust me, I'm a doctor."
