Grace has been working on form. She really wants to make her animals as real as can be. They are doing really good in music. Their teacher said that most kids get 2-3 songs a week. They usually have 5-8, and they get through them all. In drums, Jack is progressing very well. He just started learning a drum solo from KISS's first drummer. Look it up on youtube as the Carr solo. He has been working strictly on fundamentals up until now, getting his limbs independent of each other, and learning the different types of beats. It will be cool to be able to jam with him soon. They are both doing really good in school, too. Luke is growing up fast. He communicates very well, even though he doesnt know any words. He is very vocal, and is allways singing. He dances and headbangs when Im playing guitar, and practices every chance he gets on the drums and piano. The kids are really having fun watching him grow, and they are very good with him.

Boo at the Zoo. We go every year. This was the first time that we got there during daylight. It was cool to see the animals as well. It was a great night.

Jack decided to decorate his face without using his hands. Faceplant in the gravel worked nicely. He didnt know he was scarred up, just got up and kept playing, until his buddy at school told him he was bleeding in a few spots.

He has been working very hard on his Cursive writing. They dont teach this in 1st grade, he is working ahead.

Skype

My skype is travis_holloway. If you have it, add me. If you dont have it, it is great. Get it so you can see and talk to the kids. Just look up skype, and download it. You dont need a camera or mic to be able to see and hear us, you can type your messages. Its better if we can see you too, though. Go get it and add us. Oh, and its free!

Scout

This was a good day. It was our first scout outing. We got some good one on one time, and were led to a great spot in the Smokies. Im more excited about scouting now than I ever was. There are so many places to go and see around here. This will be fun.
