Gooooooooooooooal! Soccer Time!!

In an effort to introduce Ashlynn to the Wide World of Sports we started Soccer in the beginning of September. She seems to like it. But we are all in agreement that Murray enjoy's being on the field more than she does. Oh....Did I mention that Daddy is her coach?????

First Day of School

Ashlynn's First Day of school has come and gone. She loves school and looks forward to going. Her teacher Mrs. Hannah is great and sends home weekly updates as to what will they will be learning for the week. Ashlynn has been hard at work learning pre reading skills, math, social studies, along with many other things. Last week we had our first "Homework" which led to a fight because it was a nice day and she wanted to go play with her friend Angela. Hopefully this homework thing will get a little better. But I know that will not be the case!

Murray's First Day of "School" was not as easy as Ashlynn's. We spent a good two weeks crying in the morning for Mommy. Then he just would not like going into school. But shortly after Grandpa would drop him off he would be fine. We are now at the point that he yells "MY SCHOOL" if we drive by. He is really enjoying it and has been learning lots of new songs and even starting to name colors. Not to mention the best thing he is actually using the potty at school. He has his sticker chart and as Ashlynn says he has A LOT of stickers.

We are slowly getting into the new routine of our lives and it seems to be going fairly well. Both kids are really enjoying and thriving in school and I am really happy with my new job. Teaching 6th & 7th Graders sure is a challenge but I am having a great time with it. Andrew's school year has started off good too. He came home the other day informing us that he wrote a grant and that they were awarded the money along with the grant being published. So life is very busy here as you can tell since it has been forever since I updated the Blog but we are all enjoying it.
