So the kids are back in school this week and we enjoyed our last holiday weekend with some exceptionally nice weather and then only in WI can it drop 20 degrees from one day to the next. I am guessing this was our last weekend to be able to use our pool so that will come down pretty soon. We spend our weekend with Grandma and Grandpa visiting. The guys worked on getting some outside lights put on our garage and started to put the foundation down for our shed next to the garage for some needed storage. I spend a great deal of Monday out in the garden pruning away anything that did not yet have fruit so that the remaining can ripen and be harvested before we get the first frost.
Grandma and Grandpa brought us a wonderful cedar log swing for outside, well mostly for Garry and I J and oh year lol... we celebrated Garry’s 40th Birthday though I have a feeling he was trying very hard to just sort of swoosh thru that un-noticed.
We tied up some loose ends to get the kids ready for school on Tuesday all very excited after meeting with teachers at the open house the previous week.
Samuel started first grade he was excited but then a bit nervous when we actually got to the school. Garry and I both took some extra time in the morning to drop the kids of. Well not Steven at his age it was up breakfast on the bus and see ya later ….lol… teenagers. His days are still pretty busy as he has varsity soccer till the end of October. I am also excited that he is taking German this first semester. I have to admit I was never good at teaching any of my kids the language, as the English language comes so easy to me… I know its bad but some people are just better at one thing then others. But I hope that as he learns more we can use it at home and continue to do so in the hope that he can maintain it. He has to take German 1 thru 3 before graduation.
Sarah started a new daycare AND early child hood class at the Elementary school this week. I am not sure who was more nervous…But more on that at sarahyongdai.blogspot.com
I have also taken on the project of doing some webmaster tasks for a wonderful project that I encourage everyone to take a look at as new things are added and we continue to work on new projects to advocate and help China ’s Children.
