SEPTEMBER 2008: by the KIDS

We’re doing great – keeping busy as usual! We let the kids write the letter this month!

Ellie-
I spinned (in dance class). I was gonna have a “popsicole”. I have a birthday tomorrow (she means next month). I have Brenda at my house.

Miriam-
I was playing with Collin and Grant and KayKay and Bennet, even Jenny and Chad – you know those friends that used to live in Georgia and now they moved into that different place – I played with all of them, even the grownups. In preschool – we did letters there. We had recess and had a snack when it was time to go. We bring papers home. And, we go hunting (“goin on a bear hunt”).

Enoch –
Refused to dictate anything – but he’s having a great time in school. His birthday was fun! Bjorn made an awesome Indiana Jones obstacle course, complete with a golden statue, rolling boulder, water grenades, snake pit, swamp, spiders, and much more. The treasure at the end came falling down when Enoch cut the rope. He said it was way better than he imagined it would be!

Natalie-
I played soccer this year and my team either won or tied every game. But I did not make one single goal the whole soccer season (but Mom adds, she kept the other team from scoring countless goals ☺). I’m learning how to type in school too. School is really fun also! In school I am learning multiplication!

Isaac-
My first football game of the year we lost in triple overtime (0-6). Then we played the team again and we beat them in double overtime. We have two more games left to see who wins for 3rd and 4th place. We played in the rain and it was hard to pull any flags and I pulled the flag that kept them from winning the game, and someone on our team brought dougnuts and I got to pick the biggest doughnut, because my coach said I needed something special! I bought two cap guns and Enoch and I have been having cap gun wars.

Auriana-
Seventh grade is sort of hard, the good thing is that I have a lot of fun classes! At our school, we have A-day and B-day so I have different classes on the different days. For my math class, I am in Algebra 1 with a bunch of eighth graders. There are only about 5 seventh graders in the whole class, and that’s counting me! I’m taking choir and we had a concert about a week ago. I’m also taking orchestra and I had a concert for that a few days ago. Jenny, Collin, Grant, Katelyn, and Bennet even came to the concert with my family! We had a lot of fun while Jenny and Chad were here, we even went on a hike to a waterfall! It was fun, but when we got back to our cars, we were all freezing cold!
