What's new? Brandon is back to work, which is bitter sweet in my opinion. I like that we have money again, but I don't like that he isn't around as much, and now I get to do alot more work around the house. But, he is happy. This year he is going to try and work outside more and less in the club house because he misses the "peace" of being outdoors. I tell him that is fine but don't forget the sunscreen!

Lexi is doing very well in school, she is at second grade level reading which is amazing. I always worry that my children will have difficulty with reading because I did. I joke Brandon and I should either make brilliant children because I was good at math and science and he was good at English and language or we are going to have really stupid kids. So far so good.
Last night I signed her up for her first year of softball, I think she will enjoy it. Extra activities in our house is always a sore subject, Brandon feels that it is a pain to get the kids to places in the evenings and would rather just stay home and have them play outside. His words "I didn't do sports and they don't have to either." My feelings are much different I think that the kids should be involved in things because it teaches them skills of working with other people, self motivation, importance of exercise, failures, achievements, etc. I feel that we need to make the activities work, even if means that our lives harder. Part of being a parent is sacrifice. However, I can see how it is harder on Brandon because I am the one who works evenings and he would be the primary driver and it really isn't fun buckling three kids in. But, still.........
