That is my goal. To get better at keeping up with life. After moving in here, life started getting ahead of me and I've been fighting to keep up. New school, new callings, new friends. Mixing those with all of the old stuff and old friends has been difficult. But we are starting to settle and adjust and have been loving it here.
The kids have made friends in the neighborhood. Brandon is so excited that Riley has two friends that come over all of the time to play football and baseball. Riley is at the end of a really great soccer season. He got a perfect score on the math section of the 3rd grade standardized test. We were so proud about that. He actually asked his teacher to give him extra work during math time, because he was finishing too quickly and having to read during math time. Anna has been loving the new school and making some nice new friends. We live close enough that she still gets to do tap dancing. Evan gets to attend the same preschool as last year and he loves it! He is doing soccer for the first time and thinks that it's so fun. He still loves having his own room and has been coloring pictures that he tapes up on his walls. So cute.
Brandon is taking a really hard class right now, but after this he only has a few more classes and one big research paper before he's done! He is coaching Evan's soccer team and has a lot of fun with that. I enjoyed a really fun birthday last month with a house full of friends. I've been trying to figure out how to keep this house clean. I've never been really good at that, but I love this house so much, I'm trying. I can't believe that we are heading into the holiday season. I love it. Life is going so fast, but we are enjoying it! And I'll try keeping up with this blog.
