Our month of September

I know it is the middle of November, but I am really behind so I am going to try to take a few moments to catch everyone up on our lives. So lets take a look back over the fall, starting with September.

The children started school. Nick is now in 5th grade! Tatiana is in 3rd grade! Ben is in preschool. I am volunteering as much as I can with the kids at school. I organized a preschool co-op for Ben. He has preschool on Tuesday and Thursdays in the morning and I teach every four weeks at our house. It is a great set-up! Then Ben has speech on Monday and Wednesdays and he gets to ride the bus for that. He loves the bus. Andrew lucks out and gets to hang out with mommy.

This picture was actually taken on the second day of school because I forgot! How terrible is that!!!

Andrew, Ben and I try to go to the school and have lunch with the kids about once a week. Ben loves all the attention and playing on the playground at recess!

Cubs Scouts started up full swing again after a lighter summer schedule. Nick is in Webelos now and loves it. He is very self-driven and I admire him for that.

Girl Scouts also started up again. Tatiana is in her last year of Brownies and loves her "Brownie sisters"! We met at my house the past few years, now we meet at the school library. That has been a little stress off my plate. Yes, I am still her Brownie leader and Nick's Cub Master.

Nathan took Nick, Tatiana and I to an Oregon State football game. It was a lot of fun! Go Beavers!
