Been a bit again, but thought I would toss an update out there.

We'll start with the oldest, Dom. He's doing so great. He just started middle school and is adjusting perfectly. Academically, he's already holding his own. Loves his teacher and the only thing he complains about is there is no playground. Not that he even used his when he was in grade school. Fall ball is starting to wind down and he's had a great season. Pitching and infielding again, and is doing really well with hitting. Sure, he still strikes out, but it's still an adjustment for him seeing only kids pitching at him. He's getting there and he'll have a great season next year... I'm sure. He's about to start the sand lot league. He's very excited about this. Its so fun for him, not so stressful. So he'll have a nice winter.

Caitlyn had adjusted to being the big fish perfectly. She had 3 bus buddies, but is down to 2. She helps these kids go from the classroom onto the bus. She's handling the reading journals perfectly along with the new responsibilities. Cheer is just gearing up and getting ready for competition. She's excited about this. It's like the main reason she's cheering. This year, she's actually competitive, and has the chance to make it to the "road to disney" how fun for her! I had to cancel our minivacation for our anniversary because competition is on a sunday, and hair day is the day before, but it's a small loss to see her happy. Maybe next year, I guess :)

Cameron is actually doing well in school. He's paying attention, staying motivated. Which is a huge deal for him. He has no enthusiasm when it comes to school. So to see him so happy is really great for us. He is obsessed with wipe out, and it's hilarious.

Elliot is off to school every day from 9-12. He too, is doing great. He has a whole pile of new friends, tho he misses his "cousins derek and giovanni" every day. Hopefully he'll see them in sunday school.

The kiddos start religion tomorrow. Cam and Dom will go every tuesday from 4-5:15. I chose that time because dominick wont have to miss practices or games, tho he'll be eating in the truck from point a to point b. I'm sure it's a small sacrifice :)

Bill and I are great. Everything is beyond perfect with us. We're excited about our 5 year anniversary! I can't believe we've managed so long. Wait... yes I can. He's the love of my life, and it's been a very otherwise easy journey for us as a couple... as parents... not so much.

Well, that's that. Been very busy with all these extra things, so not much else to report. Having your kids involved in so much is terribly trying, but the end result is they have a great time, and that's what I value the most.
