What are we doing?

Well, I know it's been a while. Things are going mostly well here. The kids are doing good in school and both are active in their own way.



Shawn has a tournament this weekend (25th) in Mansfield, so I will be able to go and watch him do his Duet with his partner (Alex). (Hopefully Grandma and Grandpa C. will be able to attend.) He is also an active part of Student Council (Meetings every Tuesday). He also attends Advanced Academics meetings every Monday and Friday. We went and watched the SGP theatre groups first play of the year on Satruday the 11th. It was really cool. I was impressed at the level this group is at already. I am really looking forward to watching Shawn grow with his Theatre. He really likes his Directors, so I think he will learn alot. He took the PSAT on Wed. (15th). He said that it was a very different test - and is interested to see how he did. Shawn has been having back problems again - we took him to see a Chiropractor - and he has a rib out of place! So, we are working on that. We are four treatments in so far, and it keeps slipping back out after a few days. But, he was adjusted yesterday for the 4th time, and he did well last night and this morning. Here's hoping between his excercises and adjustments - we will be able to get this fixed quickly.



Kellee has been doing well at Cross Country. However, she is currently injured. We went to the Dr. on Wed. (15th) and was told she has Patello Femural Syndrome. (Knee problems - most common in female athletes). So, she is currently on a 2 week rest from everything... As well as an anti flammatory medicine to help the healing process. So, she won't be running or playing soccer for the next two weeks. (Her last Cross Country Run was to be on Oct. 25th.) But, she will now be out for the last two runs of the season (Bummer!) Her knee started hurting about 2 - 3 weeks ago, but I really thought it was growing pains - HOW WRONG WAS I! Last Thursday at her run, she couldn't finish and had to sit at the halfway mark. And then on Sunday after warm up for her soccer game - she told coach she couldn't start because of the pain. So, she only played 1/2 of the game. (At that point I knew it wasn't growing pains!) So, off to the Dr. we went. Hopefully this will not be a problem for Soccer tryouts (for the SGP team) in November. She is doing well at school. Her grades are good.

I am doing good - running around, enjoying watching/attending the kids different events. Working, generally just staying busy.


Shawn Sr. works most of the time but is enjoying learning all about wine for his upcoming new position at the Wine Bar.
