Smith Family Update

Well we have been keeping totally busy here. I feel like I'm a senior in high school getting ready for college. I'm totally stressed all the time. Fortunately, Isaac doesn't know the meaning of the word. He is so relaxed about everything. Oh to be young.

School is still going well, with the exception of one teacher who does not like Elyssa. I can't prove that she is giving Lys demerit marks unfairly yet, but I think I'm close. Lys has had 2 demerits in the last two years of school and I can't think of any before that and this year she has racked up 10 all by the same teacher. Laughing in the hallway or in class for any reason will get you a demerit mark. I think like 6 of the marks are from laughing. It's going to be a rough year considering Lys laughs at everything!

Cross country is going well. Isaac did have a little "tussle" with a guy who tripped him and made him fall to the ground and then tripped him when he was getting back up. I had to remind Isaac that cross country is not a contact sport. Softball is not going so good. Elyssa has possibly the worst coach ever. Why do people coach that have never played the sport? Somethings I just don't understand. The season ends this month so the agony will be over soon.

We recently got back from a family reunion in New York. It was Mark's mom side of the family and they were kind enough to pay for our lodging which was awesome! I found super cheap tickets (we just had to drive an extra 2 1/2 hours) so it was really worth it. You can check out all the photos on FB. It was great to get away with the entire family!

Isaac has a big wrestling tournament coming up this weekend (if he can make weight). I think his days of wrestling at 145 are over. Someone he thinks he'll be wrestling that all year.

The major events this month are Elyssa's 13th and Isaac's 17th birthdays. I can't believe Elyssa is going to be a teenager! I'll keep everyone posted.

Love you!
