I thought I should update you on the other kids, too. Here is a quick run-down of the happenings around here.
First Ellie. She is running cross country with her school. When I first heard of the idea of Elementary School kids doing cross country I balked at it. They're too small to start that. However, she absolutely loves it. It's not a competition factor for her, more of a ribbon and a popcicle at the end. Not only that but she is fast. I love watching her race because she loves it. She is also doing soccer and has struggled with the whole "positions" idea. She is use to running around and scoring goals but now she is supposed to be in a spot which is a big change. I am hoping next season clicks with her but until then there is only one more game - so we'll manage. :)
Tyler just made honor roll for the first time. We're so proud of him because he has been struggling this year with some school issues and are happy to see him turning things around. Tyler is doing piano but that is it for him right now. He loves baseball and where we are it is only in Spring which I am okay with! He does do Cub Scouts and this week advances to Wolf. He's a fun (and funny) boy. He had a few backpacking trips this summer with Dee and the picture below was their latest one over Labor Day. As you can tell they all had a great time. His most exciting (?) thing is he is ready for his first run with braces. He's looking forward to glow in the dark rubberbands, and I know it will be soon enough they loose their luster. Ahhh, the joys of braces.
McKenna is miss busybody as usual. She is in a performing arts group in school and truly loves it. In fact she loves everything about it. The singing, dancing, costumes, friends all of it. She is also doing soccer and this year is doing goalie. Last year I would pretty much have a heart-attack anytime she volunteered for goalie. I don't know what happened but this year she is G-O-O-D! I love watching her games and watching her footwork, ball control and stopping the balls that come her way. She has hit "pre-teen" with the hard lessons and joys that come with it. She's fun to be with and I love watching her become.
