A Whole Year Later

Oops- I forgot to maintain my blog for my one follower! Hi, April! So, Ellie just finished the first grade and has become such a great reader and athlete. My favorite new Ellie comment is, "Sometimes I don't like to eat my vegetables, but when I don't, I feel like I haven't showered for days!" She also said that eating junk food is just like eating tree bark- it's not too good for you. I need to learn from her. Autumn is definitely a three-year-old- a bit defiant and dangerous, but still feeling guilty about it.
My highlights of this school year were home-schooling a wonderful student for a couple months- it was so nice to teach all the subjects instead of just English, especially the chemistry and algebra, and coaching a championship girls soccer team. I have had some great players on my team in the past and thought I was in a rebuilding year with a young team, but they were amazing once they learned to work together and trust each other. It was an honor to coach them.
Scott is working hard as usual and not looking forward to working out in the summer heat. His latest passion is frustrating politics. He is getting his summer projects in order and looking forward to vacation.
I will post some pictures soon- or maybe in a year!
