The Latest News

Ok, I'm going to bed right after this....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Drason is working for an industrial security company and he is basically responsible for about 1/3 of the state. We are still into the renaissance festival thing, and I have started making costumes. I hope that we can go back to Ravenwood for our anniversary this year. We have been married 8 years in April, time flies!
I am still working as a counselor, and I love it. I have started scrap booking, I think I should have started the day Macguines was born! At least I don't have an old TV box full of pictures sitting around, yet. We have started attending a new church and we like it there. They have some great evening Bible studies and even Grandpa has stopped by a fw times. (As usual he knew everyone there, you can't take him anywhere :-)

Macguines is 7, he is in first grade, and is doing very well in school. He is now taking Karate and Swimming Lessons at the YMCA, goes to AWANA's at First Baptist Heath and will be starting baseball this spring. He is super busy and it is a great outlet for his energy and talents.

Marshal is 5, he is in Kindergarten, he is also doing well in school. He is also taking swimming lessons at the YMCA, going to AWANA's and will start t-ball in the spring. Marshal is going to turn 6 in a few weeks, and he is really into Hotwheels and CareBears (odd combination, we know).
Mason is 4, he is in Pre School, he loves his bus driver, she is so nice to him.
This year for Christmas his class had a "gift of giving" project. The kids would do chores around the house to earn a quarter, then they take their quarters to school to donate to a project that they chose. It was really a neat idea. Mason helped with decorating, picked up his toys, and fed the cat, all told he earned about a dollar.
About a week later he comes home with a big packet of information, it turns out that the class raised so much money that they adopted a manatee.
Mason is now manatee obsessed! He wears a giant manatee that he made in school, all around the house. He tells us all about manatees, how they get hurt on boat propellers, how they eat only vegetables..... We started telling other people about this because we thought it was so cute, turns out there are a whole lot of manatee loving people (we think it might be a manatee conspiracy). If we can swing it we might take a trip to Florida and swim with the manatees later this year.
"Jason the cat" is still scared of the boys, we only see him after they have all gone to bed. Shelter cats are so nice, we love him anyways!
That's all for now
Love you all bunches and hope to hear from you soon!
Amanda, Drason, and Boys
