What's New???

I haven't been as "on top of it" as I thought I'd be once the kids got back into the routine of school. I ended up getting pretty sick and not doing ANYTHING! Now that I'm feeling better I find that I miss my excuse to sit around reading books. HA! So, here's a quick review of what's been going on here in the last week:

The 1st Day of School -

Brandon started High School in great spirits. He spent the final week of summer vacation at the school all day long with Marching Band Camp. He got to know a lot of the other kids and felt right at home on campus. He's also started early morning seminary (a scripture study class that meets everyday before school). He seems a bit tired, but is enjoying both the social and spiritual parts of the program.

Aubrey, 7th grade at middle school. She was ready to get back to school to hang out with friends. She had some scheduling issues, but now is loving her classes and teachers.

Jon, 5th grade at elementary school. He is happy to be "big man on campus", but I think he'd be happy with a few more weeks of summer. We were so busy this summer, we never had a chance to get bored. We are all ready for a vacation. :)

Foster Kitties -

Snuggles, Socks, Ninja, & Fuzzball

These are the shyest kittens we've ever fostered in our home. They are dang cute, but haven't had enough socialization with people. We work overtime to help them get over that. It's a tough job cuddling and playing with them, but it's a sacrifice we're willing to make. We'll introduce them to Chance in the next couple of days. They are progressing really fast!

Socks likes to just hang out in the scale bowl everyday when I weigh them. It looks like the other cats are taking note on his weight gain. HA!

Cub Scouts -

Not a great picture, but Jon earned his Bear last week. He is loving scouts and looking forward to becoming a Webelo this fall when he turns 10.
