Staying Busy

Well, we are definitely managing to stay busy so far this school year / fall.  We're about halfway through each of the kids' soccer seasons. 

Kellen's group practiced 2 nights a week from August through September, with the games starting on Saturdays in September.  We're now at 1 practice per week, and games will go through October on Saturdays.  Kellen has been having a great time this season.  He has managed to score a goal in each of the first 4 games and he is pretty excited about that.  We've got a great group of kids and families for his team.  I hope to get some pictures of Kellen's soccer before the season is over, but I'm not able to take them since I'm coaching and Danelle is often with Kristin at one of her games.  We'll have to get one of the other parents to take some photos and share them with us. 

Kristin is also practicing two nights a week, but she is playing more games.  She has averaged 3 games each weekend so far.  Her skills have really come on with all the games and she is having a great time.  It poured rain today and they played on through the rain and mud.  What a site.

The kids are also having fun in school too.  They like to go to school everyday.  Kristin had her 10 year old checkup last week (all is well) and was bummed to have to miss a couple hours of school in order to go to the appointment.  Kristin will be starting Girl Scouts here again in a little while, and Kellen is going to check out Boy Scouts this year.  Not sure that will stick since they haven't found a troop leader yet and Danelle and I just don't have time to take on any more as far as leading and coaching goes.

Oh, almost forgot.  We signed Kellen up for hockey today.  It starts next weekend and goes through March.  You know, because we didn't have enough else going on!  He is all set though, as he just lost another tooth!  You'll have to ask him the story of how he lost it.
