Back to reality

We had a great holiday!! Christmas was great and so was new years. We got to spend time with Family and friends, old and new. We rang in the new year with some great friends. Tyler was the only one that stayed up for all the festivities, though. (child, that is). On New Years Day we went and watched Tale of Despareaux in the theater, which the kids loved. It was an okay movie. Cam had fun climbing up and down the stairs in the theater. As long as he is happy, right. It was so great to have Shon home for a break. He had to work a few days in between holidays, but got some good vacation time, I think. I was glad to get Christmas stuff all put away. But I couldn't bring myself to put away my beautiful nativity so it is still out for me to admire a while longer.

Today we got back to reality. The big boys went back to school, which they were excited about and Shon went back to work, which he was not excited about. I went back to doing laundry and that sort of stuff. Today I also started someting new. Piano lessons. (Me teaching them, not taking them). I had my first three students today and will have three more tomorrow. I have been really nervous about it actually, but am pretty excited too. I hoe to be a good teacher for these kids. Hopefully it will help me continue to develop my talents. Wish me luck!!

The boys got this game for Christmas called Facebreakers. It is a boxing game. Ty and Zack really love it, but Shon and Bryan sure love it, too. It has been played a lot!!


P.s. Cam is getting better everyday. I think he is about over his sick. Yeah!!

I love the picture! Ty leaning on Shon, while they play video games, completely enthralled. And, Zacky in his Storm Trooper costume, watching. Just a regular day at the Shuldberg home. I know you will do great with piano lessons. Good luck.

Hooray for boxing and storm troopers and no more sick babies and the tale of the mouse. I didn't know you were doing lessons, good for you! Good luck.

We're sure glad you're giving lessons. Those boys and their games. I can't believe how involved they get in them sometimes. At least they have fun.

Your New Year really has some NEW in it. You will do great for the children you teach will love you and because of that they will learn. Hope your ankle is better.
