Maggie started fifth grade and was dancing in the driveway when she found out she'd been assigned the teacher she wanted. When we went to open house, her best friend Alex was not in the same class but she had plenty of other good friends who were. This was also one of the first years she was not in the same class as Jacob. She was disappointed but getting her favorite teacher helped her deal with it! She also started her fall soccer season. She's playing defense and a little intimidated by the fact that the opponents are all bigger than her. She's used to being the tall one but playing a year up has forced her to accept that won't always be the case. We had hoped playing up would be a challenge for her and it is proving to be just that.
Gary started his games and well, we rarely see him. It's hard on everyone but luckily it is only for a few weeks. He also tried to squeeze in some hunting this month, but with no success bringing home the big one.
Molly and I just hold on for the ride this time of year! Molly is quickly learning how to be a loud and supportive soccer fan and has plans of her own to play! In the meantime, we'll just sit on the sidelines and cheer on our teams!
