Back in the Swing of Things...

So - a lot has happened in the last couple of months... but - maybe more about that later - here is the world as we now know it...

Kids are all back in school!

Alyssa is at Friends studying education. She is thinking about what area to specialize in. She had orginally thought lower elementary but is now thinking maybe elementary or middle school science. She has a while to figure it out... Her fall softball practices start September 1 with tournaments the first three weekends of September. Then she is done with the fall season. It is nice that Friends seems to be much more focused on the academic aspect of school at least in the fall. She made a trip to KU this weekend to see her guy and some other friends.

Trevor started high school. He seems to like it so far. He is playing football and should be starting both ways for the Freshman team - Slot Back on Offense and Outside Linebacker on Defense. They had a scrimmage Friday night and he did well. Their first game is Sep 7th. He is also playing fall baseball when he can. I think the games start mid-September. He turns 15 tomorrow and is all about getting his drivers license. I think we may let him drive to/from school because truthfully I am getting tired of driving out every evening to pick him up from football practice at exactly the same time I should be cooking supper.

Mac is in 3rd grade and likes school. He will be playing soccer and joining Cub Scouts this fall. The Cub Scout thing is new so we will see how that goes.

Brennah is in 2nd grade and also likes school - but is more in it to see her friends! She will be playing soccer also this fall.

Rodney and I are just working and taking in all the kids stuff... He plans to paint the outside of the house in September when he is off for his work furlough... I hope he manages to come throught this time. The last furlough week he was supposed to paint the inside of the house and only managed to paint part of the basement.
