Update

Been a while since I last posted and alot has gone on:

Addi has been competing in pageants and having a great time along with doing rather well.  She has done one dance recital and is going to do another one next Saturday.  She also just finished up her first year of softball.  I don't think that I will have to worry about her wanting to that again.  We are now going to probably concentrate on dance and might try another sport if she wants. 

Colt is going to take swimming lessons in a couple weeks and is already doing well without them.  This will help out tremendously in trying to keep an eye on Weston at the pool and beach.  He is completely potty-trained and is doing really well with that - even at night!

Weston is as rowdy as ever and so much fun!  He loves to play and fight and wrestle and hit and bite and kick.  He plays really well with his older siblings and wants to be a part of everything they are doing.

Erika's store is doing really well.  The summer months are typically the slowest and are a source of anxiety.  Just the unknown of how much dance wear people are going to need is stressful.  Many dance studios now offer summer classes so hopefully this will keep the customers coming. 

At work, a group of us are doing a version of the "Biggest Loser" where, over two months, we try and lose as much weight as possible and measure % body weight lost.  We are putting in a few dollars to make it a little more motivating.  It starts June 5 and goes to around August 7.  Dieting stinks, but doing it for a possible cash prize will make it worth it.

The Braves have had an up and down season so far.  They started off losing 4 in a row and then winning most of their games over the next month.  Here lately they have been terrible in all aspects, but especially pitching.  Before last night, they had lost 8 in a row and had gone from being 2 up in the division to being 4 down.  A bunch of the young pitchers have really struggled and Chipper, McCann and Freeman being hurt does not help at all.  Hopefully they can right the ship and not miss out on the postseason again.

We are going to the beach as a family at the end of June and it can't get here fast enough.  I'm trying to talk Erika into getting a lake place but she is balking at the idea.  I mean, other than not being able to afford it and me having to keep up the place, what's the problem?  Anyway, til next time
