It's hard for me to believe, but "Little Guy" started first grade in September. He's been in school a month and loves it. He likes his teacher, Ms. Cobain. He did tell me that she was "pretty demanding." I asked her to keep it up. :) I'm hoping that he'll be challenged this year and continues to enjoy school. It's been so much fun to have him reading to us, rather than us reading to him all the time.

Ryan also started soccer in September. We spend each Saturday morning watch the six-year-olds play; it's quite entertaining! Ryan keeps us entertained by falling on his bum, but continuing to kick the ball; egging the other team on to come and get the ball before he can kick the goal kick; and running with such determination. You just have to see the look on his face as he heads on down the field.
