Anne, that is a good idea about the family history.  Did you know about that book that you can have made with your blog?  I haven't seen it, but someone told me about it.  That might actually be too much information?  At least someone is making an attempt.

So mom and dad surprised Taylor and Parker on Wednesday morning and had them on a flight to Disneyland at 6am.  They thought they were going to school that day.  They were totally blown away.  This is the outing that every 10 yr old grandchild of mom and dad looks forward to:  4 days at Disneyland with PaPa and Grandma Barb.  They thought they were going in August, but we had to tell them that to be able to surprise them.  It went over well.  They are still there tonight, but return Saturday.  They sound like they have been having a lot of fun. Morgan has been really missing the two boys.  She spends a lot of play time with them.  It seems really weird with only 2 kids.  Seems odd.  We are anxious to have them back.

Morgan has a baseball game tomorrow.  She has really taken to baseball.  She has excellent form, and a decent attention span.  It is T-ball, but she can actually hit a pitched ball pretty well.  I am excited to see her progress.  Parker is doing baseball too and is having some fun with it too.  I think Morgan enjoys it more though.

Isaac is doing awesome with track.  You all read his story about tripping in the 1600 meter event last week.  Well, he got another shot at the 1600 meter again this week.  He was in middle of the pack the whole way until the last lap or two when he moved up to second place.  On the home stretch to the finish line he started to turn it on and lo and behold, there were three girls that decided to CROSS THE LANES and Isaac ran right into one of them.  Those girls just walked right in front of the runners!  Idiots.  So, he essentially stopped dead in his tracks, had to divert around them off the track and get his speed up again.  His time was 6:24 for the mile, an improvement over last week.  But, he still has yet to find out what his real ability is.  He loves it though.

Taylor is just enjoying life, not really interested in sports.  He did win a contest at school by writing a short story with some accompanying art work.  He really is a talented artist.  I look forward to see him grow and progress in that vein.

Adina and I just try to keep up with them.  Adina is much better at working out than I am.  If I don't have a goal race set, with a training plan established, it just does not happen.  Hence the races I keep running, it is my only drive to continue.  And it's fun...and healthy.

We love you all!  Hope to hear from you soon.
