Quarterly Update

It seems that my blogging is turning into a quarterly event! Life is so good and so full. We have been swamped with t-ball. I've developed quite a passion for the game; however, Ethan and Kaleb have not. They have learned a lot but still lack some enthusiasm. They feel that basketball is their sport. I never planned on being one of those moms that cheers wildly from the stands, but I am and there is no turning back. Somehow I've got to convince them to play again next season. I'm not above bribery.

The twins graduated from kindergarten. They will also graduate from 3rd grade, 6th grade, and 8th grade before the 2021 China Spring commencement ceremony. Small towns are so different from the large urban school districts I'm used to. I have to admit that I'm turning into a big fan of the small town.

This weekend I had nurse duty. All three of the Holder human males had a horrible stomach virus. Somehow I have been spared so far. The illness showed up in shifts, so we managed to have at least one participant at the many planned activities...two t-ball games, bowling party, & swimming party. Needless to say, I was thrilled to return to work today. Ah....I needed a break.

We had grandparents visit from Arizona over Memorial Day weekend. What fun! The boys got new bikes for graduation. We also hit two of the several amazing Waco museums...Dr. Pepper Museum and the Texas Ranger Museum. Really-both were interesting and entertaining. The boys managed to leave the Texas Ranger Museum with fancy new cap guns. We also enjoyed a Dr. Pepper made fresh for us at the fountain.

Life is so good and so full.

Bad, Bad, Bad Blogger

OK...I've been a horrible blogger lately! Life is great, though. I LOVE working four days per week. The boys are almost done with basketball. Hershey is HUGE. We survived two weeks of flu, pneumonia, and pinkeye. I have a new niece, Leah. We're headed to KS tomorrow to see her. I've already been up there once, but this time I'm taking the boys. Chris will enjoy a weekend alone with his new TV. Our cousin Lily sailed through a very complicated surgery. PRAISE GOD! We're headed to AZ in a few weeks for a long visit! A meteor entered the atmosphere very near us. HMMM....what else is going on around here? We spent Valentine's with friends and had a super time. I'm planning a cruise with friends to celebrate my upcoming 40th birthday in October. I'm also planning a fun Austin weekend for my bf Dawn and I...hopefully in May. She lives in Scottsdale and is the mother of three under six. Life is great! I will try to be a better blogger. I'm not the most disciplined person.
