Daily stuff...

Zachary has been taking gymnastics about once a week for the last 2 years.  He loves it and is quite a daredevil as you can see.  
R.B. is Running Again

Since early summer R.B. has been running with a friend that lives in the neighborhood.  Though the weather has gotten colder they still try to get out every morning and run about 3 1/2 miles.  R.B. feels great and after about 7 months now can't imagine giving it up like he did a few years ago.  His friend had never really run regularly before and is also enjoying being in better shape and feeling great.


 

Playing Guitar

Over the summer R.B. dug out the guitar he received as a High School graduation gift and started playing again, relaxing in the mountains on a couple of trips and trying to remember all of those songs he used to know.  He has also been working on some James Taylor, and some of the more popular acoustic songs from groups like Bon Jovi and Extreme and a few others.  The kids love to strum and pretend.

Tennis

This year Hayden has taken up tennis and R.B. is once again enjoying a sport he hadn't played in years.  Hayden is actually getting pretty good and is looking forward to taking lessons again next year.  R.B. is playing with a new racquet that his sister Carrie gave him as a birthday gift.  He played in a league and a few tournaments, lost 70% of the time, played hard and generally had a blast getting back "into the swing of things."  Maybe next year he can actually start winning against those that don't play quite as well.  14 years is just an awfully long time to lay off and expect anything great.
Possibly next year he'll get to start flying again.  ;^)
