♥ Trying new things

This quarter has opened my eyes a bit more to realize the good things you have in life and appreciate them more often. It has also motivated me to get into doing more things I've wanted to do, and try some new things... not just for me but for the kids.

I promised the kids we would get bicycles down here, since all the kids in our neighborhood ride bike. I also wanted to get one so we could do that together as a family. So did that, including a bicycle rack so I can take the bikes to the park and Silver Comet trail to ride where it is flat. Victoria has to get better before she rides on a hill like we live on.

I was finally able to sign the kids up for swimming lessons. They now have lessons from 4-5pm on Monday and Wednesdays for Level 2 Swim classes. After they are over, they are already signed up for Level 3 swim class, which is in the deep end of the pool at the aquatic center.

We also went to a karate presentation at the local Martial Arts school yesterday, and it was excellent. I wanted to sign Andrew up for it before, but could not afford it. They were running a special for 6 months of karate lessons at basically half the price. I asked Victoria what she thought about taking karate and she said she wants to do it. Andrew of course was excited as well, so I signed them both up.

So now we have school every day, swimming on Monday and Wednesdays, and karate every day as long as the kids keep their rooms clean, homework done, and pickup after themselves. I think this is going to be a very exciting and transformational quarter (what's left of it). As for me, I've got As and Bs in school and am feeling just as motivated and inspired as the day I started 4 years ago.

I am also having a weekly lunch with my cousin Bill so we can talk about how things are going and talk about our practices and where we plan to go from here. I'm very excited about that, since we both are in the TLC club.

I'd say everything is coming along rather nicely.

♥ Live life with love.
