Fall is in the Air!

Saturday started out with a soccer game. Megan scored another goal (she is tied for the highest scorer on her team) and they won 2-1. Her team is in first place.

After dinner on Saturday, we took Uncle Bob to Yates Cider Mill to go for a walk and have some cider and fresh doughnuts. It was a beautiful night.

Megan bought a fish on Friday night. She named it Lauren, not sure why. Mike and I call it Charlie (for “Good Luck Charlie” – hope it lives for more than a week).

A New Year, New Season

Well, the new school year is off to a start. This time of year always seems like the beginning of a new year more than January 1st. I am back to work so it has been busy. Luckily, my mom and dad came down to help out. I just found out on Saturday night that I would be going back to work on Tuesday…the shocker is that I am teaching art. (It may even be more shocking to Annette than myself). The good think was that I didn’t have kids on Tuesday so I had a little more time to acclimate myself and I didn’t have to set up a whole classroom. Megan has been enjoying second grade. She really seems to like her teacher, Mrs. Miller. The twins are also enjoying preschool. I think the first day was a little long for them but they were even set to go on Saturday morning. It seems like they have been keeping to themselves somewhat and haven’t made many new friends. The first day of school, in fact, the whole first week was very rainy. Non-stop rain all day long!

Megan also had her first two soccer games of the season. They lost on Friday night but won on Saturday. She played really good in all of her positions.
