So lets go:
Christmas and New Years were mellow and fun. A little let down after spending thanksgiving in Hawaii. All I did during my time off was search for flights back while seeing no dinero in the bank account.
In January we returned to work and school. It's now time to get ready to welcome a new group of students for the 12-13 school year and I'm pleased to say that we are quite busy. Double the applicants for the next year. Everything is buzzing around the school. The building is coming along. There are doors on it now! I'm still quite hopeful that tay will have some classes in the new middle school before she graduates.
January is the start of a very busy season for taylor. Tay is currently writing her biggest project to date. A term paper on Cerebral Palsy. She is very interested in the subject which is helping keep her focused. She also started up soccer again, getting ready for state cup. Her first game isn't until March, but it's the knock out phase. You must keep winning to stay in the race. She also started up volleyball again. This time with a new club.
I'm pleased to report that her new team is doing quite well this season. They are an area team and have placed first at each of their 2 tournaments. Meanwhile, they played in a non-league tournament and came in 3rd. She has really connected with her team and I can only hope they continue on playing some great volleyball.
We have just finished the application process for high school for tay. We have applied to only one private school and turned in our lottery request for the local charter high school. Keep your fingers crossed or she's going to a crappy hs in our city. At least they have good football, some years.
No big trips coming up. Saving up for HS and all! We are planning a quick trip to Disney in March and a trip to Reno for Volleyball in April. Otherwise it looks to be a very mellow 2012.
Happy Valentines Day!
