Another week has passed. I’m currently watching the Colts play better than the Patriots. Today Leanne, London and I went out to eat for lunch (I had the baby back ribs bonus meal at Chili’s) and then did some bowling for an hour at the local bowling alley. We had a good time and Leanne actually had the highest total after two games. She also ended up in second place when we played darts with some friends on Friday night. She has apparently been hiding these blue-collar past times and her ability to beat me soundly at them. I can still kick her ass at cricket though, I swear.
London got his progress report for this six weeks and he’s doing very well. All A’s , one B and a high C. If we can get that last C up and not have him go down on anything else then we’ll be very pleased with his work this semester. He’s such a smart kid and I’m starting to see him taking interests in certain subjects and it’s so exciting to see him starting to write with more authority and confidence. If we can just get him to read for fun a bit more (he sometimes feels like its something he HAS to do and not something he should WANT to do) then we’ll even notice a bigger improvement in those writing skills.
My parents will be here in about two weeks for Thanksgiving. We’re pumped for them to see the place and for Josh to get his first glimpse at our life here in Frisco and we should have everything pretty well setup when they arrive. I won’t get to spend as much time as I would like with them but the time we get together will be quality time. My Mom is still working on getting a transfer down here so that they can move closer to their family. If and when she gets it then we’ll be able to see them more and have them over for dinner. We don’t entertain nearly as much as we would like but that has more to do with my work schedule right now than anything else. I’m just not here enough and when I am here I want to spend time with my wife and son. Things may change on that front very soon though 
Work is going fine. It’s actually getting slower right now but will get much more busy as we start making cards and calendars for Christmas. I hear it gets crazy during the holidays.
This game is getting good. I think I’ll go back to watching it. Enjoy your week!

What a game! Too bad it ended the way it did. In just two weeks we’ll be in Texas. Hooray! Tell London I’m very proud of him. That was a great progress report. Nice to know another woman can kick your butt in games!!

Hey Dude–Nice report and don’t let those two women rag on you too much. I see now why you decided to take French (see YouTube):
