Nothing To Report

There's not been anything too exciting lately--thus, no blogs. However, I can use a little bit of non-excitement. Here's a little run-down:

• DJ got released from the hospital; we now have a hospital bed in the middle of the family room, but it's more to protect his back than anything. He's been through physical therapy, etc. Had the 45 staples removed from his stomach.
• Reagan ran a great campaign for student body vice president. We had poster- and button-making parties here, complete w/ soda, pizza, and cookies, and lots of kids. She lost by 23 votes. Aargh! However, water polo is going great--she has a tournament in a week and a half. She also was just made a junior counselor at her school.
• Tre' is still water boy for the high school team. Last week was an away game he was invited to. He had just enough time to make the bus to go with the team. However, they pulled out 5 minutes early--he called me, and we tried to catch them, but couldn't. I didn't even know where the high school was, just that it was down by San Diego. Bummer!
• Madi is Madi. She's sweet, she's cuddly, she's happy-go-lucky. We had to order yet another pair of glasses for her; this is the 4th pair in a year. She just can't seem to find them (picture her saying that in her little gravelly voice.).
• Josh is the "Star of the Week" in kindergarten. He's told me that about 1700 times each day; in fact, he gives that as the reason he ought to be able to do anything he wants. We made a poster with pictures from this summer; he's brought his favorite book and toy. We "get" to bring treats on Friday. This is the highlight of kindergarten so far!
• In the middle of all of this, I decided to accept a job with a company that I've been pursuing/and who's been pursuing me for 6 months. They made several offers before I accepted, but accept I did. I've been going in for the past week with the old CFO to learn systems/procedures/etc, while still keeping my old job going. My old boss is in China for 2 weeks and didn't hire my replacement before he left, so there will still be some overlap after.
• Grandma and Grandpa Peterson came out for a visit. Oh! The Treagan soup (homemade chicken noodle soup), treats, and fun we had!

Maybe it's not so boring after all. At least we didn't end up in the hospital.
