Fall Update

Hard to believe we're halfway through the first week of October already.  Seems like it was just the first week of August and school was getting ready to start.  But here we are, two busy months later.  Still just as busy, but finally enjoying some cooler weather.  The kids have had a lot going on, so I figured I'd do a quick update on what we've been up to.

J is almost finished with his high school swim season.  He's waiting to find out if he qualifies for conference.  He should know by tomorrow, so fingers crossed for him please!  He's on week seven of his training program and doing great.  The results are really starting to show, both in his body and his game.  TP has their first fall tournament this coming weekend, so look for a recap early next week.

N has had two concerts with the children's chorus and both were fantastic.  He's been busy with student council, cub scouts, and gymnastics as well.  Today he's going on a hike with his scout den, so he packed a backpack of supplies last night.  The hike is only an hour or so at a local nature preserve, but I guess he wants to be prepared for anything!

A is doing well in her dance class and really enjoying baton team.  She'll be attending baton twice a week now.  Once for her team practice and once for class to practice her twirling skills.  She's enjoying being in Girl Scouts, too.  She's just begun the Book It program at school.  Her reading requirement is ten books a month so she wants to sit and read all the time.

I've been keeping myself busy with school volunteering, plus my girl scout troop.  It's going well.  I have a wonderful group of eight little girls.  We also have the big school fair coming up two weeks from tomorrow.   Hubby is the chairman, so he's super busy making sure everything gets done in time.  All in all, it's a typical month for us!
