Our transition back to school has been great for all 4 of us. The kids are doing great and seem to enjoy their teachers. Todd and I have started our year with ease as well. The beginning of the school year is always a busy time. With school starting it also means that our after school schedule gets busier. Aubrin started back to gymnastics and is loving it. Jackson is also taking a class at the gym called Gym Fit. It's a strengthening class for little guys. Jackson is climbing ropes, working on the rings and also doing some running. He loves the challenge of the class and always try to beat what he did the week before.
On Saturdays Jackson is playing flag football. The schedule is a bit different this year with no practices during the week but a 90 minute practice before each game. Jack was happy
to be back on the field with some of his buddies. I thought that after a 90 minute practice Jackson wouldn't have any energy left for the game, but I was wrong. The boys still played hard and did great!
Between Catechism, gymnastics, Gym Fit, football and homework, we still try to find moments as a family to do what we love together.
We try to go fishing a couple nights a week after dinner. It's always a sure thing to catch a fish in the pond. Jackson and Aubrin are always in competition as to who can catch the biggest fish.
The kids still love to bake, especially Great Grandma Doughty's Famous Cookies! It always leaves us enough cookies to package up and share with the neighbors.
I'm trying to remember this school year to slow down and make time for the small things.
