Sarah is finishing 1st grade and will turn 7 this next July still at the same charter school and doing very very well. She is quite smart and one of if not THE best reader in her class. She did some martial arts earlier this year as well but we couldn't afford to keep that going at this time..she did earn her orange belt...however it is my intention to have her do more of that just for her own safety's sake.
Elijah is now 19 months and walking, running, climbing on furniture and earning the name Mr. Grabby Hands! He is absolutely a cutie and reminds me and everyone who was around long enough to know...of his older brother Josh when Josh was the same age...Josh is now 28 years.
Heather did not lose her job and is still there albeit with having to accept some cuts to maintain the position...but she has been a monumental help in getting me playing and gigging again...it would not be happening for me without her help...she has done our pictures, some videos, got us booked at several places, linked us to several people that have gotten us booked at different places, done our flyers, made our logos, designed and ordered our T-shirts for 2 of the 3 bands, yelled, cheered, and screamed loudly for us at many a gig...and last but certainly not least has been a champion with watching and taking care of my kids while I rehearse, gig, and in general take care of music and band business. Thank you babe...for your support and for everything!
I passed my first test on the second try...YES!!!...and took the second test only to fail that one by 6 questions...DOH!...so now I am waiting until I can take it again and hopefully...prayerfully...I will pass on the second chance as I did with the first...crossing fingers and toes...that one will be soon...
I am now playing in 3 bands...and have done a lot of gigs in the last year and a half. I am so grateful for how much music is in my life and even in the variety...I am truly blessed between family and music...some money would be nice...to reduce stress by paying bills and debts owed LOL...but otherwise I am very blessed with the things that are most important.
