Seasons

This happens to be a season of adjustment into a new schedule of responsibilities. It is going relatively well so far. Jessalyn is enjoying 4th grade, Ethan is enjoying 2nd grade and Luke is loving his first year in school at kindergarten. I can't wait until parent/teacher conferences so I can hear all about what they are doing, because they seem to forget between the time the bell rings and get into the van. They all seem happy.

Part of this 'season' of life involves school...and soccer. Basically, it means that we don't eat any nice, real dinners. It's nearly impossible for me to spend any time cooking, which I DO actually enjoy when I have the time. We are back to the season of soccer every single day...with Luke on Monday and Wednesday and Ethan on Tues and Thursday, and Jessalyn has soccer most Monday, Wednesdays and Friday's ...and games on Saturday. Add in piano lessons, One Voice twice a week, youth group on Wednesday nights, most weeks have a worship team practice on one of those nights....well..lets just say, its pretty crazy. Never mind homework, getting together with friends, Jessalyn starting in Band (learning the Trumpet) and trying to squeeze this in all before 8pm so that hopefully the kids are in bed and have a half hour or so to read before they fall asleep. It makes for an intense day. But..we make it work and it's all good:)

Jessalyn had her first soccer game earlier this week. It went well, with her team winning 7 to 1. Jessalyn scored two goals!! She is doing really well and enjoys playing the left striker position.



Just as soon as we adjust to this season of life, it will change. It's a good thing that I actually enjoy change!!
