Fall Fun

Last Sunday, we headed to Nana and Papa's to help rake leaves.  

Brenna and Brody had fun running and jumping into the huge leaf pile! It didn't feel like fall weather, but with all of the leaves, it looked like fall!

Soccer Saturdays!

For the past five weeks, Brody has been playing soccer on Saturdays in Eleva. Brenna chose not to play this year. Brody plays for an hour with the kids who are the same age as him and then he gets to play another hour and a half with the older kids.  Needless to say, Brody is loving this! 

One morning before soccer, Brody asked me if I was going to make him a sign to hold up at soccer. I told him that I probably wouldn't because I didn't have time. He then tells me,  "Well, I think it will really help me."  Cousin Heather was nice enough to make a sign.  I never did ask him if he thought the sign improved his game.  :)

My First Graders!

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have two first-graders!  They were all smiles on the first day of school. 

The year has gotten off to a pretty good start. Brody misses kindergarten a little bit, but for the most part they are both loving first grade!  I hope it continues.

We had parent teacher conferences this week.  I always love hearing what the teachers have to say. We heard positive comments about both kiddos and we are proud parents.  I'm glad they save their less than perfect behavior for home. :)
