Holidays 2011

I have not been so diligent with the family blog lately.  The boys are thriving.  Quinn just received his green belt at his karate dojang and is coming up on 3 years in his studies.  He has also made it through his first semester of individual percussion practice and now will start playing with the elementary school band (we hope!).  Jack is doing well kindergarten but occasionally pines for his preschool days because they are shorter.  He wants to play t-ball in the spring which gives Dad hope there may be a little sports buddy in the making. 

Cindy continues to chip away at her writing but admits it has been a challenge with all of the school functions and active social life she has cultivated.  She is very happy.

Dad had a good year too.  He is most proud of the progress he made with his running.  He and Uncle Kevin remotely encourage each other to push harder and go farther, faster.  Dad believes his running is metaphorical for so much in his life.  He is basically forced to the treadmill now with the cold dark mornings and the cold in general but looks forward to getting back outside.

We wish everyone well.  Be grateful for what you have.
