Soccer has Begun!

Katelyn and Ellie both had games this past weekend.  Ellie has joined a new team that her friend Addison already plays for.  Her team prevailed in a hard fought high scoring affair.  In fact, it was so high scoring that I have no idea what the score was.  Regardless, Ellie scored in her debut (one picture is of her scoring).

As for Katelyn, she now plays for a travel team.  We were very nervous as the soccer teams around here are quite competitive and she had to try out for the team.  At any rate, she made it (though I think some others on her old team should have also).  Now, we have the privilege of spending most of our Sunday afternoons driving around Nashville to her games.  At any rate, her team is 4-0 right now and she is playing quite well.

As for Owen.... well he just accompanies us.  Mostly pleasantly....

First Day of School

The kids kicked off the school year today at CPA.

Ellie was a little nervous about a new teacher and not sure if she'd have any friends there. Luckily, she seems to like her first grade teacher and knows most of her class. Unfortunately, her three best buds are in a different class, but she is adaptable and will make new friends quickly.

Katelyn has her first grade teacher, Mrs. Craig, who she adored. She said her day was awesome. She loves her teacher. Eight of the kids in her class were also in her class when she had Mrs. Craig the first time. She has a fair number of friends in her third grade class, so she is off to a great start.

Owen is returning to preschool. He has new teachers, but many of the same friends in his class. He particularly loves Wright and Audrey and is sad that his friend Nicklaus (he pronounced it Nicwas) has moved to the older class. But I am sure he will be a resilient two year old :)
