has been the busiest month of the year for us I believe.
Brendon & Caleb are playing fall soccer. They are still taking piano lessons also. They have a fall recital and will also be playing at a festival in October, so lots of practicing is going on (some of the time without us hounding them). This is their first year to get letter grades in school, so they are both really focusing on keeping all A's, which of course thrills us. So far so good...At this point they have very similar interests which is nice and limits the different things to do and places we go. I am sure this may change, but it is nice for now.
Trevin is playing flag football and soccer! He loves both for now, but will have to pick one or the other after this. We are way too busy going to non-stop practices. He is doing great in school also. He has been asking us for quite a while to learn to play the drums. We have stalled as of now, I am just not so sure I am ready for that added noise to this tiny house.
Meryn is the big 4 year old that we have not put in any activities, yet. She talks about wanting to do everything her brothers do. She looks up to all of them. She has had trouble saying some letters, so we took her to be evaluated at an early education center. She passed all the tests they did with her, with flying colors. They did notice the trouble she had with some of her letters. There is a class once a week to work on just that, so we will be getting her into that. She has become such a little mother lately. She's always trying to keep tabs on her brothers and keeps us up to date with what they're doing. I can see a lot of frustration in the future from the boys!
Greg is in the process of trying to get on a different department up in the Kansas City area. He has a pretty good lead on a department in Mission Kansas. He took a test and passed, which is a requirement now to get on most departments, so that is a huge hurdle. When you think of us you can pray for direction and wisdom during this time.
