It has been so busy this year, which is not new. I have gone back to work at Milan Institute of Cosmetology doing accounting for the school. It is a great place to work and a great environment. Ray has changed jobs this year; which was a blessing. He went from Clearwire to Comcast; went from working 24-7 to a pretty normal 9-5 schedule. Our family actually has my husband back, a father, a partner, a friend. Not that he wasn't there before, it was just different.
Michael is 16, driving, did hold down a job for a while (then his schedule got way too busy). He is playing academy soccer for a team in Clovis (which is 45 minutes away). The academy team is a step up from Club soccer and not yet professional. They are getting the kids ready for college level and above soccer and the academy team gets scouted from a lot of colleges. It is a great opportunity and experience to be involved in this program.
Matthew is 15, he will get his drivers permit in February. He has been concentrating on Football, he was the JV's team 'everything'. Matt went from receiver and kicker (for all kicks), then added defense, special teams, and I couldn't tell you what else. But by the middle of the season Matt was pulled to the Quarter Back...he did unfortunately broke his clavicle while making a touch down and with only 3 games remaining. He went to his 2 weeks follow up for his clavicle and it took 2 1/2 hours...ti find out that he was not healing at all. The doctor put him in a different style of brace to hold his shoulders in place. So hopefully by his next appointment it will show us something better. At the last game of the season, Matt was told by the Head Coach the next the Quarter Back position for Varsity is his if he wants it. We are very excited for him and very proud! So with that Matt is going to concentrate on football and weight training and not play soccer this year. He has finally found his own sport and something he really enjoys!
Macey is 13, oh man is she ever 13. She had an outstanding summer of travel softball. She ended her season in Scottsdale/Phoenix Arizona for Nationals, which her team took 8Th out of 100's of teams. ray and I were able to take her this year and it was a fun experience. She is now concentrating on school sports and finishing her 8Th grade year and getting ready for High School. She has made the decision to move in with her mom full time. Which is a good thing for her and a very hard thing for her. There was a lot of things that happened to make her decision and it was very hurtfull to me. She finally came and stayed the weekend after about a month, which was nice. She is a very busy girl socially and is all 13, Macey will be 14 in February.
Madison is 11 and has been playing AYSO soccer this year. Her team is very good and they are going to Championships this weekend. Madison scored her first goal last weekend in the first play off game. I was unfortunately working and missed it...darn it! But I was told she had to work for it and she did very well. She is sad that soccer is almost over but also excited for the next season. She will be going into Junior High next year, which will be a huge step for her. Now we need to find something for Madison to do until next year sports start. She does so much better with an activity on her hands!
I think that sums everything up for right now. Hope all is well with everyone else!
