Back to School Whirlwinds

School is back in. Abby is taking orchestra again and is getting better and better on the cello. A few summer private lessons with Austin helped a ton! She is also on the Elementary Student Council this year. Abby let us know this summer that she wants to be a nuclear physicist from MIT so she can fix all this energy trouble were having. Great huh! Think I'll need a bigger college fund! Danielle is taking a break from dancing. She wants to go back in spring but she wants to try gymnastics. She is loving 3rd grade and and her multiplication tables are coming along well. They are both taking piano lessons and really helping out mom who always seems to be in over her head! I'm not bored...ever. Brad, as always, is our rock. He is a calm, steady wind moving us all in the right direction! Don't let the calm exterior fool you though, he is crazy busy too, working on the house, the yard and his church job. His feathers never get ruffled. There is always a huge list of things to do on the house (no, we're not finished yet), spelling and reading to do, and Friends of Scouting fundraisers! Yep, he volunteered to help. Brad is even nicer than he looks.

WOW Samantha--a post! It was really fun to hear what everyone is up to now that you're all back to school and not traveling inside and outside of the USA. It's kind of nice to get back to the regular routine, huh? I am looking forward to the holidays though--can't wait to see everyone again. It sounds like you are all staying very busy. I hope you still find time to enjoy that pool.
