Sorry it's been a while since I updated...things have been hectic (but what else is new?)!
Things are busy here...getting ready for B's upcoming baptism and the influx of family that comes with such an event. DH's parents are coming, as is my sister M. I really wish my sister A could come, and more of DH's family, but no such luck. B is getting her ears pierced as part of her birthday celebration and she's excited about that. The day of her baptism will be a busy one...baptism, family lunch to celebrate, and then she has a soccer game later that day.
A's softball season is going well and her pitching has definitely improved. She is enjoying the season and loves to pitch. She and DH are enjoying their practice time together. She had a piano recital last week and performed beautifully. Then on Sunday she and I played a duet in church. I've been looking forward to the day we could do that ever since she started playing the piano. We played a duet that my sister M and I have done on a few occasions. It was really wonderful to be able to play that duet together. She's a really good pianist.
Both girls have had standardized testing at school this week so they've been bored with that. I remember hating standardized testing at school. Yuck! Both girls have had time to do lots of independent reading during the testing but they're still quite bored.
My house is a mess (what else is new) and I've been putting in lots of extra hours at work, trying to wrap up a huge project I've been working on for 16 months. Unfortunately, the end of this project is when the most extra hours seem to be required...and it's coinciding with B's baptism and family coming in for that. ACK! The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned and I'm just not sure when that is going to happen, between the girls' activities, work, and church. There just aren't enough hours in a day.
