This has been a busy month for us all. School as started. The kids like their new teachers. Angela has the same teacher as the year before. They like to keep the same preschool teacher. Dani and Angela are taking dance. The both really like it. It was great to see Ang dance and tumble. She wears her dance outfit all day long.
Josh turned 8 this month. He was baptized on Aug. 31 with his cousin Brittany. It was really neat. I can't believe that he is old enough to get baptized. He is going to start cub scouts on Thursday. I hope that he likes the scouting program. All that he knows about it is that when he is older, he can go camping overnight. Josh decided this year that he doesn't want to participate in sports. That will give us both more free time.
Dani is going to be student of the week. She was so excited. She colored some pictures and brought some pictures from home. Her teacher is going to put these papers and pictures on the bulletin board. On thursday, I am going to school for curriculum night. I'll take a picture of the bulletin board. She likes school, but thinks that school is long. Her favorite part is lunch, of course.
Angela is doing very well. She is going to see her doctor tomorrow. I'm excited to go and tell the doctor all the neat things she can do now. She can talk in sentences, she can count to 29, she can recognize her ABC's, she can do a somersault, etc. School and therapy did their job. She is developing an independent attitude. I know that is a good thing, but it can be frustrating.
Jim took the scouts to Gisela. It is a deep water hole near a creek in Payson, AZ. The scouts could jump off cliffs and into the water. The boys had a lot of fun. Jim did too. Jim is keeping real busy. He planted a tree for Josh's 8th birthday. Yesterday, Jim launched Josh's rocket. It shot up in the air and landed on our neighbor's roof two houses down. The kids are still taking about it. Josh suggested that we do it again at the park. Good idea.
I am doing well and keeping busy. I am volunteering in the kids classrooms. It is a great way to learn about school. Especially when the kids tell you nothing. I added the pictures of Josh and Britt's baptism and temple pictures. The picture with Josh and Britt looking at the Christus was the picture we used for the cover of the program.
