We're here!

The Hartsell family has been crazy busy since school has started!

Keaton started T-ball this season and Tatum is still doing dance. That meant that on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays we were gone in the evenings. Keaton loved T-ball and did pretty well. He learned that he is a GREAT hitter and can throw the ball from the outfield almost to home plate, but...he had no idea what to do after he hit the ball :-). His first time around the bases (with a lot of coaching), he got to home plate and stopped. He had this look on his face like, "what do I do now?". We did see improvement thru the season...I guess you can call it that. They only played like 5 games because of all the rain.

Tatum moved up to a 'big' girl dance class and after the first class was very upset. I asked her what was wrong and she said it was because she is the youngest in her class. All the other girls are in 2nd or 3rd grade. She looks so tiny in there with all those 'big' girls. As usual, she is loving dance and wants to know when she will get to be famous. On the down side, I bought her new shoes for dance when school started and she has outgrown her jazz shoes and her ballets are almost to small. Does anyone know how to stop feet from growing? If so, pass it on...all my kids feet are growing like weeds. Weston (17 mos. old) is in a size 6, Keaton (5 yrs. old) is in a 13.5 and Tatum (6 yrs. old) is in a 2!

Weston is now 17 months old going on 5. He loves to roll around with Keaton and sit on the couch with Tatum. He will repeat anything you say and has an amazing vocabulary! One day he was in his room sitting on a stool that GP made the big kids. I asked him what he was doing and very causally he replied "sittin" then gave me a look like "you can't tell what I'm doing?". Weston stays at home with Jarrek 3 days a week and we have a sitter come in 2 days a week. Some days he gives her a run for her money! He has defiantly found his personality.

Jarrek's stores have finally changed names...come visit him at Whiskey Charlie's! There catch phrase..."It's good if you like it!"

Right now we are still trying to work out our schedules so that the kids get to spend time with us. Man, it's hard being working parents ;-)
