Yes. We are alive. Summer just kept us so so busy. It seemed like we were gone almost the whole summer. It was a ton of fun. We went to South Dakota at the beginning of the summer. Very cool. We loved Mount Rushmore, Reptile Gardens, & everything else. There is soooo much to do there. We could have spent so much more time there. At the beginning of August we went to Seattle, Portland, & the Oregon coast. We golfed, went on a ferry, went to a Mariners game, Oregon zoo, the coast. It was such a blast! We went with my parents & has such a great time with them. This summer was just so fun & exciting.

School has started again. Kobe is now in the 2nd grade. So far so good. He is really loving going & doing really well. I have news too. . .I got a job. The principle of Kobe's school called me up & offered me a job to be a reading tutor. I am so totally pumped. The hours are so perfect. I work from 8:45-11:20 every day. I love being able to be so close to Kobe. I volunteer soooo much, so it will be awesome to get paid for what I would be doing anyways. The kids are so fun to work with. And I loved the fact that I still have time to get cleaning & other stuff done while Kobe's at school. It really seemed to be such a blessing. I really felt like I needed this in my life. I needed a little pick me up. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.

Kobe played on a baseball team this summer. He had a lot of fun. He was on the Oriels. We had fun cheering for him, but poor kid, his team was not so good. Hopefully it will be better next year. He just started playing fall soccer. He is loving it. He is on his best friends team. He can't seem to get enough of it. We have fun watching him. He is so aggressive out there! I don't know that much about soccer, so it has been interesting learning the rules. We were out watching Kobe at his practice yesterday & the funniest thing happened. A bird pooped right on Riley's head. I could not stop laughing. It really was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I'm just glad it wasn't me!!! He just got his 1st set of golf clubs, so we'll have to put him in some lessons. He seems really excited to learn how to play. He is always going outside practicing his swing. It will be fun watching him learn & progress. Now I just need to get me some lessons too!!

Sounds like you guys had such a wonderful Summer! I am so happy for your new job too. That sounds perfect. I wish I could volunteer at the school more, but I always have to arrange someone to watch my other 2. I know it's not always idea for you, but I think it's a blessing that you can spend all your time and efforts on Kobe. With more kids I only prayer I'm giving enough attention to each of them. You sound like a wonderful mom and I wish we were closer so we could hang out.
