Update on Life!

Ever since I discovered Instagram a couple yrs ago, I have not been blogging as you can see....

Liam is now 8, almost 9.  And Rowan is 6 almost 7.  Liam has almost finished his 3rd season of soccer, and is LOVING it.  He is quite good too.  We often wonder how he'd be if he had a couple yrs of experience under his belt?!  He will be taking an intense class through his most recent league after his season wraps up.  It's a new location for them, and just so happens to be very close to our home.  He is also enjoying his first year of Hip Hop.  He is continuing piano, which he does enjoy, but trying to remember to practice has been a challenge.  He is doing quite well at school too!!  His teacher says he tests above where he should be in all the subjects.  It's the 3rd yr in a row that his teacher's have said "I'm not sure what I'll be able to teach him?!"

Rowan did a season of soccer too in the Spring, but we did not pursue it in the fall because the municipal league had it during August, which we felt she would hate!  She did enjoy the game, and had a couple of soccer camps during the summer.  She will most likely sign up again in the spring!  She is also enjoying her 4th year of dance class.   She has moved on from her beloved teacher Miss Ali's creative dance, and has started Ballet/Jazz with Miss Brittni.  She misses her last teacher, but does love her new one too (which happens to be the same teacher that Liam has)!  She is also continuing piano, and she actually does remember to practice, which is great!  She is loving first grade so far, and her teacher also says she tests above where she needs to be.

We had a pretty great summer...Kids had lots of summer camps, and we took our first ever trip to the Oregon coast. (will post pics in another post).
