Hofhiens' Happenings
The big news this week:
A) Jake made the swim team! I'm pretty sure my heart was racing faster than his after he completed his trial swim. I did a search on the internet for a funny picture of some really skinny kid in a speedo but got too many results pertaining to skinny dipping and decided to skip the picture this time :)
B) Afton learned how to ride her bike. I mentally prepared myself for ATLEAST a month of torturous-running-behind-the-bike-at-an-awkward-sideways-hunch. However, within the first 10 minutes I let go and she DID it! She was riding like a mad women until she hit the curb and lost all her confidence. Here's her milking her injury for all its worth!
Quick thoughts
So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...
Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.
Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.
Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.
Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
