Rebecca and Eric come home for a short visit

Rebecca and Eric flew home for a short visit last weekend. What an eventful trip. Weather was so bad in Jackson Hole that on the way to the airport on Friday they received a call saying their flight was cancelled and they were on stand-by for a 7am flight on Sat. morning. We were so disappointed. They did get on the plane the next morning and finally arrived at 10:30am on Sat. They then were informed that their suitcase would be on the next plane. Well, it took until Monday afternoon for their luggage to catch up with them at our home, just in time for them to repack and leave early on Wed. morning. We had a great time though while they were here. We took in the Chinese New Year celebration at the Chinese Cultural Center in downtown Phoenix, watched Carl's football team play a game, watch Duncan's football team in a scrimmage, did a lot of shopping, Rebecca helped me with my drawing class, ate tons of delicous food both homecooked and at the restraunts, the boys went target shooting (Eric now yearns for an over/under shotgun like Scott's), had home pedicures, watched movies, and played many card and board games. What a fun whirlwind weekend!!!

Beginning...

Well, I'll give it a try. Here is our family blog spot. We are paddling as fast as we can to keep our heads above water right now. Scott is coaching Duncan's football team, the Yellowjackets until the end of February. Needless to say it has been an adventure. Duncan keeps growing, yea!! I began my last semester of classes in the teaching program at ASU. Student teaching is this fall, finally the light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be 50 years old when I finally arrive at the other end of this schooling. I love my internship this semester. I am in a kindergarten class. I am teaching after school drawing classes through a company called Young Rembrandts. It is alot of fun. Carl was assisting his dad with the football team but then he had a chance to play himself so he took it. He plays safety for the semi-pro West Valley Headhunters here in Phoenix. Two of his high school football buddies are on the same team. They are the youngest players. Average age is 25yrs. old. We've only seen them play once. Should be fun as long as he doesn't get injured.
