Grades

The girls just finished first quarter of school. Liz comes out with all A's and has tested above her grade level for math and language. She has quit piano to get more involved with her trombone, we have found her a person to give lessons outside of school. Her music teacher talks very highly of her! As does her regular teacher, Mrs. Eskew says she love Liz's creativity when she does projects and her enthusiasm in the classroom is beyond any teachers imagination. This is huge from last year....I personally think it is the teacher that makes a difference. She has also started volleyball (you will never guess who they got to coach????? Ok its me:)

Mikaela also is passing with all A's and a teacher her could not find one negative thing to say! She says she is the most cooperative, follow the rules child she has had. She did say Mikaela got spoken to for the first time the other day in reading group for giggling with another girl. I told the teacher she must be starting to warm up:) Another gymnastics competition next Saturday...I will update you on her scores.

Theresa - midterms was last week and grades for midterm are 2 B's and 3 A's. This came as a shock...but I am pleased anyway. We are on the countdown for my 1 week rotation in November.For those who do not know I have to go to Gillette wyoming (2hours from casper) for one week to do hands on education. I am excited but nervous at the same time.

Ken - has been busy making games for the fall festival at the girls school. He claims he would rather be doing something else but I have found he loves it and is very creative. I will post some pictures of his game creations next week after the fall festival. He helps me coach volleyball when I am unavailable, and continues to work at the church in several areas.

This weekend we took the girls to dinner for their great grades and attitudes in school, went shopping for my nieces 21st birthday, and did the carving pumpkins things for Halloween.

I finally got to talk to my sister for the first time since she has had baby Olivia. It sounds like they are doing great and I have a beautiful baby niece!

Love to all!
