It is Fall...

It has been awhile - things have been nusy as usual. I'll just give an update I guess.

Gabriel has begun his fall activities - school, AWANA club, and soccer. He has had two soccer practices and so far seems good at the kicking part, but not so good at the paying attention part. If we can get him to listen to the coach I think he'll play well enough for his first year. He loves AWANA and is memorizing his Bible verses quickly as usual. His schooling is going well since he loves to read - his real challenge is writing and we are improving on that with some effort.

Asher is going to AWANA this year as well and likes it a lot. He plays well and wishes he could be in soccer too. He is tortured watching it without being able to participate. He is learning a lot by listening to Elizabeth read books to him and Gabe. They are reading the Boxcar Children now and have been reading about animals as well.

Isaiah has had allergies pretty bad for weeks now. He isn't letting it slow him down too much, though. He runs around saying any word he wants and dancing all the time. He jumps on and off of furniture to imitate Olympic diving, which he got a big kick out of. He is trouble and entertainment, sometimes simultaneously.

Elizabeth is into her Fall season selling CAbi clothes and has been trying to keep up with everything. She has been enjoying Hawkeye football season with me.

I am trying to finish some home projects before cold weather. I added to those projects by buying an old car that needs some work. My Rodeo is getting pretty ugly so it is now the beater truck for going to Menards and the dump. Once I have a couple things fixed I'll be driving a Porsche 944. It looks pretty good for being old and just needs a little TLC.

I guess we're way behind on posting pics and we just got some so let me crank up the scanner (we're old school) and put some up!
