Okay, so it's been like FOREVER since I've been on my blog. Soooo much has happened since I last "blogged" on. Without a camera I haven't been real into "blogging". My gorgeous, expensive camera bit the dust. Now I'm reduced to a smaller camera. It's okay, I'm getting used to it, but I miss my old one. I think the kids use it more than me.

First off, we moved. After 8 years of living in Springdale, we moved to, what my mom thinks, is the other side of the moon. Franklin Township. It's really not that far. It's 2.8 miles East on 122, off the Middletown Exit. We love the feel of country living but not too far from the city life. Our new house is much more conducive to our life style... translation- finished basement for all of our kids "stuff". In addition the kids are loving suburban life... Community pool, basketball court, and some great neighbors.

There were many reasons for the move. One is, I got a teaching job in Springboro, that I absolutely love. Third grade at 5 points East !!! I love it. A far cry from teaching Criminals at Hillcrest. Plus we wanted to have the kids in the district where I was teaching.

Austin and Amber are adapting well to Springboro schools. Amber has so many new friends, some of which live in our subdivision. This Friday night half of the girl population at church and Springboro are coming for a sleep over at our house. UGH !!!

Austin can't wait until basketball season. He is regretting the decision to sit out for football.( July and August were just to crazy to run all over town) He's been doing agility and strength training 3 days a week at Lakota East. I can't believe he'll be in high school next year !!

Bart is struggling through this crazy economy with the sign business. The shaved ice and blended coffee are keeping us busy all the time.

As for me, well, I've once again probably bitten off more than I can chew. I've signed on for another "Landmark" Christmas play, which I think will premiere first week in December. It's Christmas in WKRP in Cincinnati. Matt Holman is Johnny Fever... isn't that a perfect role for him??? More details later.
