I guess I am now a "soccer mom"

Our family has now entered the world of sports. Noah just finished his first soccer season and he is in the middle of his first Tball season. He says that he like Tball better, but I'm not sure that either one is for him. He really is not that athletic. He is much more of an artist/thinker type. He loves to draw and write and is already writing his own books. He thinks now that he would like to try karate and learning to play the guitar. I believe that both of those will be more his speed.

Our sports experience has led to another discovery - Abby does not seem to be the "cheerleader" type. She would much rather just sleep through the games. She loves to cheer Noah on at home, but the games mean nothing to her. Her personality is the direct polar opposite to Noah. He builds it, she detroys it. He cleans it, she dirties it. We affectionately call her "Sybil" around here. (If you have ever seen that movie, then you have a good picture). She can swing from total love and affection to a full-blown vomit-spewing head-spinning tantrum in about 20 seconds. Doesn't take much to set her off, but sure takes a lot to bring her out of it. She is exhausting, but beautifully sweet and such an encourager for all of us (when she wants to be).

Sorry it has been so long since I updated. Life tends to get in the way. Will try to do better.
