Blogging

I am finding it quite challenging to blog now that we do not have an internet connection at our new apartment. In an effort to save money, we decided to not have cable or internet and MAN...I am going through withdrawals! So just a quick update. We have rented our home in Virginia, which is a blessing, and we have moved out of the parent's house to an apartment. Right now with things the way they are it would be difficult for us to buy, so we have decided to be patient and rent for a year. The apartment is nice, small but cozy. We are right at the base of pulpit rock so Shawn is able to walk across the street and take the shuttle up to the University where he works. The kids are still in school close to the grandparents so that grandma can still pick them up from school.

So in a nutshell there will most likely be "spurts" of postings all at once ever so often but stay tuned.

Skyler Soccer

This was Skyler's first official year playing soccer (last year she just practiced with her brother's team). I originally signed her up with Colorado Springs parks and recreation, like Kaleb, but the coach was absolutely horrible. I attended the parent's meeting and then the first practice and realized it would probably hurt her more then help her playing for the team. So I broke down and paid the extra money for her to play with a local club. It was TOTALLY worth it. She ended up with an excellent coach and playing in a league where they only played 3v3 without goalies. She got much more playing time and significantly more touches on the ball then she ever would have with the other team. She has done remarkably well; during her first game she scored a hat trick! Here is some footage of the action...
