Coming out of the fog

Wow... last post was in April and it was super dooper outdated.  All I can say is SORRY!  There is really no way I can even begin to catch up from where I left off, so I guess I will just have to give you the short list and attempt to not slack off anymore.

Life is crazy busy... that is fact, not an excuse. 

If I am not going 90 to nothing, then I feel like something is wrong.

Where are we now....
 
Todd-

• Still the associate principal of a school full of middle schoolers. 
• Still an avid hunter with no time to hunt and a deer lease that tends to be more of a place to go work your butt off for the weekend rather than hunt. 
• Gone garden crazy... we have lots of different veggies and herbs planted.  Sometimes I think the multiple gardens are just a way to take over the space that I keep claiming as the spot the pool will be built.
• Still running on occasions.

Kaelin-

• started 1st grade and is LOVING it.  She feels like she is such a big girl because she is at "big school"
• still doing jazz
• still doing gymnastics
• still playing softball
• has become such a great helper with Macie
• she LOVES her little sister

Macie-

• will be 2 in about 1 month
• the "terrific" 2's started quite a while ago
• total tornado (best way to describe her)
• she talks non-stop and has a vocabulary far beyond her age (sassy attitude far beyond her age too)
• she absolutely idolizes Kaelin (when she grows up, I really think she wants to be Kaelin)

Me-

• still running when I get a chance
• still working as the district coordinator for student assessments
• should seriously trade my car in for a taxi because I am constantly shuttling someone from one place to another
• had an unexpected trip to the hospital at the end of August (worthy of its own post later)

That about sums up the Hicks' and the whirl wind we call life.
