Wow, it has been a while since I posted any news. Of course there isn't much news to report. School started for Emily & Ethan in the middle of August and life has been racing by ever since.
The kids love their teachers, and have some wonderful friends in their classes. They seem to be happy, adjusting to the amount of homework that 4th grade and 2nd grade bring. Mom and dad are trying to adjust to the amount of homework that comes too. Our evenings are very different these days. Study time, reading time, dinner, baths and all to quickly it is bed time!
Our house is a little louder these days. Emily started playing the flute at school, she loves it! She is actually playing a few songs now. Ethan started taking guitar lessons with a very nice man from church. He loves it! He loves to play the guitar.
Emily has been writing songs these days. She has always loved to write stories, but has started writing songs now. She is having fun!
Last weekend we drove up to the mountains to see the changing leaves, we had so much fun. We drove up Hwy. 285 to Guenella Pass and went across to Georgetown. What a fun drive that was. Parts of the road are not paved, so it was very bumpy at times, the kids thought it was a blast! They loved the bumps! We found a stream with a bridge, a beautiful waterfull and lots of leaves! It was a lot of fun!
