Well, it pains me to post this… but we’ve made the executive decision to take a small hiatus from Soccer.  While we love it,
and Kobi especially loves it… Kobi’s not finding quite enough time to study & keep his grades where they should be.
Unfortunately, practice is Tues & Thurs, and Tests are Wed & Fri.  You see our dilemma!

In other exciting Dowling news, our water heater officially went kaput today.  Add to the mix that I’m sick, Azlin
has a cavity, and Kobi needs braces.  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CHA CHING (and not a good cha-ching like money’s rolling in…
moneys rolling OUT!).

So – today the sparks flew (from the water heater), and nearly $900 later, we have a new one.  (OUCH).  Thursday we brave
the dentist with Azlin.  And in 2 weeks we find out when Kobi will get his metal.  Since he’s as slow to lose his teeth as
Azlin was to get hers, it may still be a while yet before he gets braces.  We’ll see!  I’d just like to get the braces while
we have dental insurance to cover it!  We’ll split the amount with Damon, and our portion can be done with tax free $s! 
Whoopee! (yeah, I’m over flowing with excitement).

And in the meanwhile, I’ll be here, blogging when I can, fighting this cold that is killing me slowly lol.
