Let's see, where to begin....Well I am sitting in my own business writing this, so I'll start here. I started a consignment store for children's and maternity clothing here in Norman off of 12th and Lindsey street. I named it Poppyseeds after my dad (i'll blog about that later). I have only been open for 11 days and so far it is going ok. A little slow, but that is to be expected with any new business. I joined the Chamber of Commerce, so we are going to do a Grand Opening on April 16th and have a ribbon cutting ceremony and presentation of my first dollar, cookies, punch and face-painting for the kids, so I am looking forward to that. I already have 26 consignors and about 2200 pieces of inventory. Hoping that I have lots of shoppers to come buy up all of this stuff because I get more in every day.
Leith is still working at Tri-State and has been promoted to an Account Manager. He is still selling, but is also managing people underneath him. He is very busy right now, but also makes time to take customers golfing or out to lunch every now and then. He works up in Edmond, so he has to drive about 45 minutes when he goes to the office, but he has a lot of freedom to work from home or out of his truck also. He is still a volunteer at Cedar Country fire department and has been on 2 fires in the last 2 weeks. It is dry here in OK, so when we have a fire, it likes to spread fast, so they are asking for all firemen that can to respond and of course he loves to go, so he jumps up and rushes out the door at the sound of the alarm.
Addison is 7, will be 8 in May and is attending Hubbard, where her teacher is Mrs. Grayson. She is in class with some of her good friends that she plays basketball and softball with. We just finished our basketball season where they played great! Such a step up from last year. And now we are practicing machine pitch softball 3 days a week. This is new for us since we have only played teeball for 3 years, but the girls are really picking up on it quickly. They can also steal and bunt and Brandon is teaching them signs to know what to do...lots more involved this year then teeball was. She is also still in gymnastics on Friday afternoons and still enjoys it very much. She is so smart (straight A's every year) and loves to learn. She is reading above her grade level and has started chapter books. Learning comes so easy to her and I'm glad because I've been out of school for way too long (15 years), so even the thought of teaching 2nd grade anything scares the water out of me!
Teagan Kate was born in Feb. 2011 and hasn't stopped moving since the day of conception. We tease that she is our boy because of how outgoing and rambunctious she is. She is fearless, tougher than nails and sassy all at the same time. She is definitely our entertainer. I just know she is either going to be a singer, actress or comedian. She loves to get on stage after church, with the microphone and serenade the entire crowd with her versions of anything! We tease that she sings remixes because she likes to combine different songs into one. She is amazing! So smart and fun. She also started gymnastics like big sister and goes on Tues. mornings, she LOVES IT!
Austin Jentry (aka AJ, bug, or poppy pants (that's what Teagan calls her))..our baby! She was born November 30, 2013, which makes her 4 months in 2 days. She is precious, just perfect. She is such a good baby, just like her sisters. She sleeps in her own bed and all night 90 percent of the time. She only cries when she is hungry and thinks her sisters are hysterical! She rolled over from her tummy to her back about a month ago and can stand up when you hold her hangs. We are fixing to start her on rice cereal this week and I am looking forward to trying to make my own baby food this time.
Well I hope you enjoyed catching up with us, all 3 of you. Hopefully I will get better at this since I have free time on my hands now.
Kristi
