I'll try to summerise what we've been up to these last few months:
We've been back to England twice (the second time not planned),
Josh has joined a swim club and has done a couple of competitions, he's also played baseball and has started learning to play the saxophone.
Alfie's started pre-school and will start swimming lessons next week.
The summer was great I'm missing it already. We started off the summer with a trip back to England to see my cousin get married and to re-new our visas (or so we thought). It was a wonderful trip as I get terribly homesick being in America the one huge sticking point was the problems we had with our visas which was why we had to make another trip back in September. Hopefully were all sorted now and we have visas for another five years.
The rest of the summer was spent watching Josh play baseball and swim. We also took a trip to minneapolis with my parents and Ben's sister which was fun and we've also done some re-decorating in the basement (we've moved Josh into a bigger bedroom).
Josh has started 5th grade now I can't quite believe it's his last year in elementary school he's growing up fast and now Alfie is at pre-school which he loves I actually get a few hours a week without kids which is taking a while to get used to.
I seem to be spending most of my week going up and down the interstate taking Josh to swimming four times a week but he really enjoys it and I like being busy I'm just hoping Alfie enjoys it as much as this will be his first time having swimming lessons.
Tonight is parent teacher conferences and then we get a four day weekend which I always enjoy. Josh usually gets good reports so I'm hoping this continues tonight.
It's also Alfie's birthday in a couple of weeks so I need to get organised for that all he seems bothered about at the moment is having a party so I'm hoping that goes well as I get nervous being responsible for other peoples kids especially as he wants to go to an inflatable play place so hopefully nobodys kids end up with something broken and they all enjoy themselves.
It feels quite strange to be back blogging as you never really know if anyone's reading your posts but I enjoy it for the most part once i get myself sorted back into the routine. I'll add a couple of pics of the boys and make sure I keep blogging form now on :-)
My Boys over summer.
Well I guess that's all for now ( I could go on for hours but then it gets boring reading so will try to be more frequent so there not as long).
