The start of another school year... I always have mixed emotions when the school year starts. Since I work from home, the house is always a bit quiet when the school year starts and takes a few weeks to get used to. The kids are all liking school - Brennah is in 3rd grade and has Mrs. Baalmann for a teacher. She has taught at our school for several years and I have heard very good things about her. McClellan is in 4th grade and has Ms. Day for a teacher. It is only her 2nd year of teaching, but she won some type of teaching award last year so she must be doing something right. She is from Pratt and knows some of our friends, the Neumans that live out there. Trevor is a sophomore and seem to be enjoying school.
Alyssa is a junior in college and has changed her major to secondary math education - from elementary education. She felt that she wanted to make the change to match up with current job prospects.. and she seem excited by it. She moved out in mid-July - into a house with her friends Kayla and Jenna. They have a nice little house close to Friends and she is enjoying living on her own. She has a job at Office Depot so that is good. She has started fall season softball - which only lasts a month.
Trevor is playing football and has his first game tonight. He is getting to suit up for the Varsity game and will be starting both ways in the JV game on Monday. He is pretty excited about the whole thing... I'm a little nervous about the whole thing... About half of his baseball team has joined the Sluggers Academy - they have the best known teams in the state and have had a lot of success helping their players get college scholorships - and since that is what Trevor wants to do it should be a good thing. The most positive thing is that his favorite coach of all time - Steve Meyer will be the head coach.
Mac is playing soccer again and just began practice this past week. He is excited to get his uniform next week and play his next game next Saturday. He is playing 12U soccer and I am a little concerned about his size. He is small and I am sure some of the players are going to be huge...
Brennah is taking tumbling classes instead of playing soccer this fall. She loves it and hopes to join a cheer team next spring. I haven't decided what I think about all that, but she is really enjoying the tumbling.
Rodney's mom has been in the hospital since mid-July. She has had several strokes and goes downhill and then gets better... up and down. She can not swallow or talk and has limited use of her arms and legs. She sleeps all the time and I feel we are waiting for the end. Rodney has been spending lots of time in Anthony with her so I have been doing the single parent thing. I have been praying that she have a peaceful ending to her life.
More later...
