Gracie Sings

Gracie and her children's choir sang 2 songs at church Sunday morning. As you can see by the video clip, she obviously gets her rhythm from her father (do you think she is trying to clap EXACTLY the opposite of everyone else?) (: In case you can't recognize her (the one clapping completely off-beat), she is the 2nd from the left on the front row (wearing a cream dress with a little sweater).

This has not been a good year for blogging thus far, so I plan on playing catch-up in the next few weeks. Both kids start soccer this week, so I will need to post pics of them in action. Jaxon also started karate 4 weeks ago, so I need to show him in his uniform.

As far as life, we are all surviving. UF is on spring break this week, so the students are away from Gainesville (which is very nice). Unfortunately, Kev doesn't get to break with them. Oh well, at least he isn't having to teach this week. Gracie and Jaxon have their spring breaks the 2nd week of April. We (Gracie, Jax and myself) are heading to Ft. Lauderdale with our friends, the Stalveys (just Carolyn, Ann and Jake); it's a no-dads-allowed trip. We will be visiting Carolyn's parents, and they already have lots of fun adventures planned for us. Kev and I then leave for Puerto Rico on May 1 (and we can't wait). Papa and ChaCha are coming to stay with the kids while we play. This has been a very rough semester for all of us. I think we are just now getting over the Texas trip at Christmas (there is no way I would ever survive doing it again!). Besides the stress of the trip, Kev immediately started teaching 2 classes when we returned - talk about insanity!!! Oh well, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?!?

Gloria (Gramma G) is having her knee replaced tomorrow. We are praying for you and your speedy recovery; the kids can't wait for you to start chasing them around again (enough with the orangutan). I'll see you tomorrow at the hospital, and we love you!
