Catching up

Wow, so much has happened that I wonder if I'll be able to fit it all in.

School has started for the kids. Nicholas in the 3rd grade, Isabella in the second grade, and Gabriella in her last year of pre-school (she calls it Pretty-K and not Pre-K). In my opinion, she's right so who am I to correct her :-)

School wise, everyone is doing well, adjusting to the schedule and homework. Now, Nicholas has a little more adjusting to do. Last week his teacher passed away due to very unfortunate circumstances, and hopefully in another week he'll have a new teacher that has some very big shoes to fill. In the mean time, his class has been given the perfect answer to their prayers with a sub that has a giant heart and a very calming soul. I have to remember to write her a note telling her how much I appreciate all of her efforts the last 2 weeks. I'm sure it hasn't been easy for her. (Note to self:)

Soccer has also started for Nick. He's had 2 games so far, both loses, but he is playing pretty well. Jeff and I missed the first game because we were in Vegas with the CHP Softball tournament but Nicholas scored the first goal of the season. Games are every Saturday and we all look forward to watching him. To me, it is so exciting to cheer him on from the sidelines. Sometimes it's hard for me to take pictures because I'm too busy yelling and watching :-) Next year, both girls have decided that they want to play so the 2011 season could be very hectic...and entertaining!

So, right now, we are busy! Busy with school, work, and 3 children that keep growing up!!

First day of school: Aug 16, 2010
