I'm BAAAAAACK!!!!

So its been some time since I blogged.....Ok, 4 months and 10 days to be exact! Its been a busy time, school, work, sports....life. I don't really have any great excuses......I will give a few of the high points.
The kids had a great track season. Lucy ran the 400 and 800, 80 meter hurdles, shot put, and decathlon (Shot put, long jump, high jump, 80m hurdles, 800). Caymus ran the 400, 800 and 1500, shot put and long jump. He also did the triathlon (high jump, shot put and 400).
I have been running a lot....not fully an obsession...yet. I did run in my first 10k (6.2 miles) in June and loved it. I did better than I expected and am really looking forward to my next one. :-)
For work I went to Galveston again this year for our annual conference. It was a huge success once again! Now we are prepping for a conference in Delhi, India in the fall.
The kids finished up a great year of school both getting unbelivible grades and praises form their teachers. Now they are looking forward to being a 5th grader and a 4th grader! (how did that happen???)
On a sad note (and possibly a huge part of why I have not blogged in a long time) is that on March 14th we had to have Moka put down. He had been battling with diabites for a year and he lost that fight. It has been the hardest thing our family has had to go through and even now I am getting choked up writing about it. Moka lived to be 12 years old and was very loved and is VERY missed. He was my first baby, my kids big brother, my constant companion.

So now we are in full summer swing...that means sports camps, swim lessons, camping, swimming, and lots of play.
I will try to do better....emphasis on the word try....... :-)
