Baseball Season???

Hi, all! Just thought I'd try posting again - see if everyone is able to get access to the blog! I really hope this works out for all!

We're back in our routine (I think!) The kids went back to school last week! That sure quieted things down a bit around here!! I'm not sure if Anna likes the "alone" time or misses the chaos!! But she's sure happy to see everyone when they get home! Jason did great with his first semester in middle school - all A's and a B+! And let me tell you he worked HARD for that B+. She was one tough teacher! Our sports calendar just keeps moving along too - Jason with basketball, Kevin and Lucy with indoor soccer . . . and can you believe baseball??? The sign-ups are this month and Jason's team started some indoor practice!! I don't think I'm ready to think about baseball yet - it's too cold for baseball. And if that's not enough we have flag football for the boys the end of next month (Lucy can't wait until she's 6 and can play flag football too!) I know it sounds like a lot but it's pretty much 1 sports season per kid at a time. But if you multiply that by the 3 older kids it equals one full calendar!

Kevin has also been enjoying his cub scouts - time to make that pinewood derby car to race! And he's loving his chess club at school - he can beat big brother - wow, that was big the first time that happened!! Lucy's starting to prepare for her dance recital in June (she LOVES dance) . . . and wants to start playing the piano. I would love for her to learn the piano since I play too! The boys have not been interested in that thus far . . . but Jason is enjoying his trumpet! He's thinking about switching to drums next year (as if it's not noisy enough around here) But I'm all for music so we may have to give it a try!!

Oh and Jason and I have been volunteering at a rescue facility for pet rabbits. We adopted a rabbit from there last May and decided recently that we would like to help out some more. So we go about once a week to clean cages, feed the bunnies or just love and hold the little furballs! It's been great . . . and Jason has really been working hard there! I'm glad he's learning a little bit more about volunteering and serving others!

Well, I guess that's a pretty good summary of the Greenwald Household for the last few weeks! PLEASE post a comment and let us know about your days!

Talk to you soon! God Bless!

  2. I love this, too! Even being here in town, it is amazing all the little things that get lost in the shuffle....i.e. GO Kev, you chess dude, you! Take care!

  4. Hi Greenwalds,
    This is such a great idea! Aunt Bess is right, it is amazing how many details get missed in the "day to day stuff." And I CAN'T believe baseball is starting up.
    "Hello" to Aunt Deb & Mike, too...it's good to hear whats going on in Iowa. We'll keep them in our prayers.
    Love, Nana/Gpa
