Just Checking In...

I haven't posted in awhile so thought I would drop a line or two to catch up on things...

We are SOOO happy to learn that our grandbaby is a BOY!!! Woohoo! Yay for boys! If I won the lottery, I would stay home and take care of that baby. I am so excited. And, I am so thankful that Christina has had an uneventful and healthy pregnancy thus far. I pray her and the baby's health continue to thrive.

Nick is doing baseball a couple of times a week. His select team, The Bruins (no joke) started practicing this week at BLE, an indoor baseball facility in Auburn. You can view the Bruin's website here.   Yes, the Bruins.  That was the "sign from above" that indicated this was the right team for Nick.  Hee hee  (you gotta know Ward to appreciate that). Games don't start until the spring.  Through all the sports activity, Nick is managing to keep his grades up pretty darn well:  A's and B's.  He loves his new school, primarily because it is so much bigger, with more activities to offer.  

We are just thrilled with Annie, our new kitten.  She has finally cajoled Lucy into playing with her, which is fabulous, because Lucy is really old and needs that interaction.  And, Annie has stopped being terrified of Gus.  Gus still barely even knows she exists.  Annie is really sweet, loving and lots of fun.  She is doing all the funny kitten stuff like stalking everything in sight, including feet that are walking by.  I worry that she is going to get stepped on, but so far that has only happened a few times.  

Work is busy and tumultuous for both Ward and me.  I am thankful we have good jobs and hope to stay that way!  

We are all going to the UCLA v UW football game with a bunch of friends this weekend, and I am torn about what sweatshirt to wear:  Bruins or Huskies.  My heart is with the Dawgs, but I married this crazy Bruin fan.  Last year, I wore my Bruin jersey and felt like I was 'living a lie'!  hahaha!  But I am torn again this year, especially because the Huskies are so terrible.  That's me - fair weather fan.  My Bruins jersey is looking pretty good!! 

Have a great rest of the week, 

Chris
