Catching up

I seem to find myself catching up more than keeping up around here since the year started. I've noticed any free time I have is spent one of three ways: reading :), working out, or pinning! So, let's see:

• We've been consistently attending a new church for about 4 months now and the kids love it there. Score! 
• Wy Guy took his placement test for the accelerated math program at PCHS and scored high enough to get into the program! So proud of that kid - he starts algebra class at the high school during first hour in the fall, then will be bussed back to school to finish his 8th grade classes. 
• Speaking of smarty pants - both Wy Guy & Sis made the Scholastic Bowl team and competitions start next week. Definitely taking after their momma ;)
• However, Todd is only 2 classes from finishing his Master's degree - a long time in the making and he's so close to the end! I'm proud of him for sticking it out considering he pretty much hates it, but he's teaching the kids (and himself) perseverance & dedication!
• Basketball season has ended and Lil Lettes is in full swing, with the boys' house baseball leagues on the near horizon. Both boys are taking painting classes too - Wy Guy is working on an incredible portrait of John Lennon and I can't wait to see how it turns out! 
• Just bought a new bed and am SO excited to be moving up to a more modern look and a full bedroom set! Now to find my ideal bedding... 
• Our eggs will be here within the next 2 days and I plan to blog our progress - success or failure - in hatching our own chicks. After more research, I did decide to go with Australorps instead of Rhode Island Reds and am really just about to explode waiting for them to arrive! If you are interested in farm fresh eggs starting around October, hit me up! 
• I've lost 8.5 pounds in the last 5 weeks working with a new diet plan and trainer. Woo hoo!
• Oh, yeah, we took a little trip... to Disney World! I'm working on collecting the photos into an album and hope to have them posted soon. It was a great surprise and we loved it, but we enjoy trying new things, so I think it will be a one-time trip for us.
