FLA update

Greetings from humid Florida! Things here are starting to settle into a groove, which is good. It will be better when Josie actually has a TEACHER! UGH, it's frustrating. But I'm pretty sure when they don't pass the background check, I don't want them teaching my child. Doesn't make it less frustrating, though. But she's found some new friends, which is a blessing. She's so social and it was killing her without anyone to play with...and I REALLY don't like it when she's trying to hang with the 12-year-old boys.

Stan has been holding tryouts for the school soccer team, and Cody is being recruited pretty heavily to play on at least 3 club teams. (They run their soccer ENTIRELY different here; it's a bit odd...) Stan will probably have kids from at least 7 different countries on his team. The diversity is just amazing. Work is plugging along for me...Bethany is waiting for Rossann to get back to it. Jake has designed our web site and we have a domain and everything. Just a few things left to do and we'll advertise on a site to pick up a couple more clients...and probably wish we only had our two again. Looking forward to the challenge.

Cody is meeting a few people, though he's starting to feel like a real "nobody" in the big new middle school. He told his dad that he can sit at a table full of kids and lunch and "It's like I'm not even there, Dad. I'm nobody." But he'll be all right. He's just so eager to be in the thick of things so quickly...he just has to be patient. He was also used to knowing EVERYONE in his class since 2nd grade and that's changed, for sure.

Anyway, all it well for us. I realize we'll be in an all-out war against wasps building on the side of our house. Wish us luck...miss you all terribly...

for the wasps try starting fluid it usually stuns them and they drop. That is what my dad and Timmy use. Good Luck
