Workman Clan still lives

Yes, I know we never post on the blog but we are alive and well.

Jonathan is still doing the same. Living in Lynwood trying to become a model.

Gavin has recently contacted us again. He is in Portland and trying to get into school there. I'm not sure what he plans on studying yet.

Mariska has quit CAP to focus on band. She wants to join a local youth symphony that meets at the same time. Plus she is trying her hand at tennis and wants to try debate. So she is busy.

Aria is social as can be. Going one weekend without going to a friends house is a crime to her. She has a variety of male and female friend though and doesn't spend all her time with only one. She is trying to convice us to get her into guitar lessons since the self teaching isn't coming along so fast.

Aidan is enjoying school and cub scouts. They just has the Blue & Gold Banquet with a dionsaur theme that he was really excited about.

Joseph is still all boy. He wants to start sports but somehow we keep missing the sign up days. He wants to be in basketball but is willing to try anything. He is enjoying cub scouts too and is looking forward to his first pinewood derby.

Natalie is still a girly as ever with all the drama that goes along with that. She is sure she is old enough for make-up. Really, her attempts at make-up so far haven't been bad. Maybe she will do something with that later

Daisy and Ceili are doing good. Enjoying school and wishing they were older so they could do more things but still great fun.

Matthew is still with Pape. He is working full-time in Mount Vernon now so no more travel. He had to take a 5% pay cut but at least he still has a job.

I am still into my medieval hobby when I can. I just got recognized for the first time. I recieved an award called an Award of Arms. Lowest level award you can get but I'm happy with it.

I also got a nice Valentine's Day present. I got the puppy I've been asking for, a miniature daschund. Her name is Antonia Porcini. She is sweet and silly and everyon loves her. I just hope we can get her housebroken soon.

We've been busy as a family going on hikes or to parks or the zoo. I have most of the pictures posted on Flickr.com. I put a few here but if you want to see them all go to this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/31592814@N06/.

So there is our news. I'll try to post more often so I don't have to write a novel next time.

Love you all

Tina & Family
