Okay, so we have been busier than ever. Adding another baby to our family just
zaps any spare time we ever had (we sure do love her and did not know what we would do with out her)....so loading pics to this website has had to suffer, but I am now posting some new ones.
Just a few updates to let you know how we are doing. We are back to school....
Bret is coaching boys swimming again this year and will be coaching basketball this winter. He is really enjoying this being his second year coaching swimming and having some experience behind him. He is teaching many new classes this year including
Contemporary issues, American History, and Government along with
Psychology and Sociology from last year. H is very busy, he has practices every day after school and from here to November swim meets on
Saturdays. Although that shortens his time with us he is a great coach and the players really love him and we do too.
Jessica is enjoying school also. This is my third year and I think I am getting the hang of things. There are always a few days that I wonder how many more years until retirement but there are more that I think I just wouldn't want to do anything else. I just love to see kids smile and are excited to be in my classroom and leave knowing something new (and smiling). It really can't get better than that. I am the coaches wife and with that is good and...well busy. Nights and Saturdays are always full with shuttling every one around to games and activities, but I love it.
Spencer is in middle school this year. He is really growing up. He is enjoying school as a 6
th grader. He has a locker and 8 different classes. He is such a great student. He is getting so tall. He has grown 7 inches in the past 8 months. I can't believe it. He is almost as tall as me.
Payton is a big 4
th grader this year. He is enjoying Paxton the new 4
th/5
th grade building. It is a little bigger than last year and even changes classes once for science. It is a little harder this year for him, a lot more expectations as you get older, but he is doing great. Still one of the smallest in his class, but also one of the cutest. (at least that is what his mom thinks)
Football season has begun. The boys are both playing football this year and it is a blast watching them. They are growing up so fast and we are really proud of both of them.
Erin is changing so much. Everyday she is doing something new. We think she is just so advanced :) She is such a cutie and looks more and more like her daddy everyday with big blue eyes like her mommy. She is rolling over everywhere and learning it can actually get her places. Soon she will be crawling and moving everywhere. I can't believe she is already 6 months old. It is exciting but also sad that she is growing so fast.
Hope all is well with you and I will TRY to update this more often. Jessica
