We had visitors this weekend. Mandy, Ben & Maddie came up to watch Jake's football & soccer games this weekend. Ben & Allie played & played together, they get along really well. Miss Maddie is getting so old. She absolutely LOVES Uncle Scott & grins ear to ear when he's around...she doesn't do that with me, which pleases Scott! We had such a nice time visiting with them!
PACKERS VS. PATRIOTS
Jake's football team remains undefeated. They played the Patriots on Saturday & won 42-12! Our boys looked really good in spite of the rain during the game. Jake was able to pull a lot of flags & had some nice runs too. We play the Dolphins on Saturday.
SOCCER
Jake's team won their 3rd soccer game on Saturday afternoon. They won 11-0. Jake scored another goal & the extremely windy conditions almost cost him the goal! They looked good!
BUILDING BIRDHOUSES
Jake's Scout troop met on Sunday night to build birdhouses & have a cookout. The host family had all of the wood precut so the dads & Scouts just had to nail the pieces together. The boys did well & the dads had some pretty sore thumbs by the end of the night from being accidentally hit with the hammer.
BALLET CLASS
Allie had Parent's Day at dance on Monday. Her class was able to show us their routine for their first performance at Festival of Trees in November. They don't look too bad! After class, the owner of Allie's dance studio told me that Allie has come a long way over the summer & has emerged as the leader in the class...I was quite shocked since Allie is about as graceful as I am! Allie beamed as Miss Renee told me that!
OTHER NEWS
Allie played her final soccer game on Thursday night. She did really well this season & will start up again in the Spring.
Jake got 2nd place out of all of the 2nd graders in the mile run. His friend Dylan beat him again. They were 1 & 2 last year!! His time was better than the fastest 3rd grader though.
Allie had her chicken pox booster on Friday & had a reaction to it on Sunday. It was red & swollen all up her thigh. She says it doesn't hurt or itch so I'm just keeping an eye on it (I did consult with Kim & our school nurse too).
My cousin Katie & her husband Mike welcomed their first child into the world last week. Harrison Michael is doing great & we can't wait to meet him. That brings our extended family up to 37 people with another baby on the way in November (we gained 2 by marriage & 2 by birth this year alone).
My job is still interesting. My hours keeping changing & I'm not sure day to day what I'm going to be doing. My student is a bit more BD than they thought & may have switch schools again. I won't go with him if he goes, but have been assured that there is a job waiting for me (my understanding is that there are several open jobs).
We have soccer & football games this weekend. Scott & Jake have to make a boat for the Raingutter Regatta on Monday night for Scouts. Allie is going to a sleepover on Friday night & Jake has a birthday party on Saturday night.
