Updates on Us

Since I haven't posted in a week or so, I figured an update post was in order.

Faith is loving school, she's gotten several 100s already to bill her grandfathers for and the lowest grade I have seen on anything is a 96! She also loves volleyball and is getting better at serving. In today's game, she was even able to return a serve! If you've never seen 6 year olds play volleyball before, there is a reason why they serve 3 times and the other team gets a turn. *No one* returns the ball or volleys it. It's good if they don't duck when it comes over. ;o) She is also working on her Great American Novel--The Book About Me by Faith. Last I saw, she was 12 pages in.

Ben is not-so-much loving school. He likes it OK; when he comes to me at the end of the day, he is happy & excited about it. However, he argues with Shaun in the mornings how he doesn't want to go. Apparently, there are too many girls in his class, so he will go to Mommy's school instead. When Shaun told him he couldn't, Ben announced that he would just go to Faith's class. That plan was foiled too. He has had a bit of a rough adjustment to it all, but it seems to be getting a little better. He is back to being happy to go to church again which was the other problem. He has decided he is going to play volleyball too, but they do not have 3 year old leagues. ;o) In the rest of his time, he is quite content with using my couch as a trampoline and playing sushi bar.

I'm liking my fourth graders and really enjoying teaching again. I'm tired but otherwise good. Faith & I did a 5K on the 13th together and I'm looking at a couple more in October. I signed up for softball again too and my goal is not to break any hand bones this season. Other than that, I'm dull.

Shaun is Shaun--he works, plays softball with me & ran the 5K with us too.

I need to start updating again, I'm sure I've missed a bunch of stuff in the last 9 days or so.
