Since I last posted, volleyball season has ended. Now, our days are much more "normal". I pick Trey up from school at 3:00 p.m. everyday and we are usually on our way home by 4:00 p.m. Trey's school is about 200 yards from my office...so it can't get any more convenient for us.
Trey finished his swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago. He did really well this session and really has become a little fish in the water. In fact, a couple of weeks ago...Trey and I were at the Health Club and we decided to go swimming. The indoor pool has a water slide. Trey must have gone down it 25 times! He is so daring and extremely talented in swimming once he reaches the bottom (pool). It was so much fun to watch him!
Another new adventure is that Trey will be starting to play hockey in January! I have never envisioned my child as a hockey player. However, he has been talking about hockey for at least 6 months! He really has wanted to try it. In fact, we got him some roller blades for his birthday (summer) and he really did well with these. Anyway, since Trey has persisted in his desire to play hockey...we decided to take him to "open skate" at a rink near our house. Well...as suspected...he did awesome and he loved it! Therefore, we have opted to put him in "pre-hockey" at this point. Basically, he will be learning to skate and learning the rules of the game. He won't be on a team yet. To give you a sneak peek at our little skater...we put his gear on recently (minus the skates) for your amusement. Enjoy the picture!
We are also gearing up a family trip this week. I (Kathy) have a convention that I will be attending in Florida. Therefore, I am taking Shane and Trey along with me. While I attend my coaching seminars, the boys will be "tourists". Then, we will all hang out together in the evenings. Trey is extremely excited about the trip because he has been wanting to fly on a plane ever since we flew home from Russia. I'm sure that he is going to love this experience once again.
Finally, we are definitely excited for Christmas! Last year, Trey had no idea what Christmas was....or what Santa was...or what Jesus was, etc. However, this year, he has a reference point (last year). Therefore, he is soooo excited! He sat on Santa's lap last Friday night. It was funny because he was one of the biggest kids in line. However, we knew that this year was our chance. Last year, he didn't "get it" and next year....the cat might be out of the bag (if you know what I mean....)...so this was the perfect time to get a Santa picture. Trey was so excited to talk to Santa! He told him everything that he wants for Christmas! It was adorable!
Well, again we apologize for the lack of posts. Now, I need to browse everyone else's blogs to catch up on everything that I have missed over the past several months. We hope that you are all doing well and have a Blessed Christmas!
God's Blessings,
Shane, Kathy, and Trey
