Family Update

Wow, I just realized that it's been almost TWO MONTHS since my last blog! So I figured I'd better catch everyone up on what the FAGAN clan has been up to lately...

It was a quiet summer with the boys visiting their mom and stepdad in Virginia. They came home right before school started, and life has been crazy busy since! It just so happened that at that same time we put our house on the market (which means lots of extra house cleaning for everyone), and also made an offer on a short sale that we REALLY hope we get (which we have yet to hear back on...frustrating!). Work has also been really busy for both Craig and myself. I am still working full-time at the Youth Ranch, and keeping up the private practice on the side. I ended up getting slammed with referrals with both jobs, so I guess that explains why blogging has been at the bottom of my priority list!

Other than being CraZy BuSy with work, business trips, school activities, and house cleaning...Craig and I have been doing well.

Hunter is enjoying 7th grade. He is taking guitar as an elective, and has really gotten quite good. He definitely has some natural musical talent (which I'm sure he gets from his mom.) As most 12-year-olds, his greatest priority is his fRIenDs. He has lots of friends and has been doing a lot of roller blading lately, both in our cul-de-sac and at the skate park close to our house. He is really good at that too! School may not be his top priority, but it is ours! So he is 'strongly encouraged' to do well, and he has been so far. :-)

I just couldn't resist this one...too cute!

Colton is also enjoying his last year in elementary school - 5th grade. He is doing great so far. He has a WONDERFUL teacher this year; she is working hard to prepare the kids for middle school. She is really organized and trying to instill this skill in the kids (which I REALLY appreciate!). Colton has strait A's right now, and often comes home with over 100% on his assignments (he takes advantage of extra credit.) He also loVEs hanging out with his friends. Like his brother, he is playing guitar too! He can't wait to get involved in sports...he is definitely the athlete of the family. We're looking at basketball and soccer teams now, since he is too late for football (what he really wanted to do...there's always next year.)

Colton...and his BFF Camryn (being silly).

Kyla is quite the little bundle of energy. She is so happy to have her brothers back home!!! She can typically be found following them around at any given time. They are so good with her! She just started a dance class, which she LOVES! She got a guitar for her birthday and enjoys playing with her brothers. She also loves to play dress up! She is definitely ALL GIRL.

SiLly GIrL!!!
