We're Here!!

We've joined the world of blogging against Matt's better judgment.

Not much interesting happening in the lives of the adult members of the family, but we are enjoying our kids.

Maelen's team came in first in their league for field hockey. They will now go on to playoffs and CIF. Maelen is enjoying being the goalie for the varsity team, however, I am stressed out at every game I go watch. Today she had an amazing save with her stick, which is a risky prospect since the stick is not very wide and she has a better chance hitting off her leg padding or kicking it. She saw that she wasn't going to make it over there fast enough and wacked it with her stick, making her coach quite happy.

Jared is busy obsessing about surfing. He got his first taste in Hawaii and had his awesome cousin, Brent, take him out for some more surfing this summer. He would go every day if I let him, but somehow I don't think I could help him as much as Brent. His new thing for the winter is football and wants Matt outside every minute he is home to play with him.

Kendall is slowly coming out of her shell, and maybe we would like her back in it. When Matt asked her to do something, she yelled back, "Be patient! I'm doing the best I can!" After spending an afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa, she told Maelen and Jared that Grandma and Grandpa love her the best. Nice. You can tell she is making a lot of friends around our household.

We look forward to hearing from more of you when you have the chance.
