Back to School - 2008

Jakob and Savannah are (finally!) back in school! Jakob is in the 2nd grade this year. His teacher is Mrs. McNeill. So far, he is doing quite well. His current activities include football, football, and football! He has 3 - 4 practices a week and games every Saturday beginning September 6th and continuing until November 8th.

Savannah is in the 1st grade this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Dollar. She seems to be adjusting well. She was a little nervous because she thought 1st grade was "harder" than kindergarten. She doesn't understand why her spelling words are the same as the ones she had last year because she already knows them! She is a cheerleader for Jakob's football team and begins practice on Monday.

God has truly blessed us this year with wonderful teachers for both of our children. They are both experienced teachers who seem to love children. We are excited to see how much our children learn this year. Hopefully Savannah will get some spelling words she doesn't know soon!

My First Blog!

After reading countless others' blogs, I decided I had to try it! If no one else enjoys it, at least my brother and sister who live so far away will get to see what Jakob and Savannah are up to on a somewhat regular basis! They are both growing up so fast that it is really hard to keep up! Enjoy!
