Soccer and Dance

Ray had his first day of soccer/gymnastics. It was really fun! The class is at Soccer World, which is just down the road from our house (so really convenient for me). The owner is his teacher/coach and really did a great job with the kids as far as speaking at their level and doing all the activities with them. Ray did a great job and participated in all the events!!

Maria has dance class on Tuesday's at Dahl Dance Center. This will be her second week. The class is an Intro to Dance, so they are doing some ballet, lyrical and ballroom. Last week she was so excited to show us her moves :)

Swimming and Spelling

Ray had his first swim day at preschool today. He loved it! I'm so glad that I have him doing preschool now that I'm home with him. It gives us both a break and he's doing such fun stuff.

Maria had her second spelling test today. She was practicing this week and it payed off as she got a perfect score! Way to go, sweetie!!

Still kicking

Yes, we are still here, just haven't made blogging a priority :)

Quick recap...
- My sister, Carrie, got married in CO on August 23rd, so we had a family vacation to CO. Beautiful wedding, beautiful bride and groom. (are really adorable flower girls!)
- Got home from the wedding and our computer died. We had to order a new hard drive. So I was offline for several weeks.
- Maria's first day of 1st grade. We love our school and her teacher seems great. The only bad thing is her long bus ride to and from school. She doesn't seem to mind it yet as she's making new friends.
- Raymond started preschool at the YMCA. He goes to 'school' 3 days a week. He really likes it (a total 180 from his preschool classes last year at comm ed). He is also excited because once a month, they get to go swimming (their first swim day is tomorrow). He was the VIP last week and got to bring snacks and a toy to share
- Greta is crawling, crawling, crawling. She pulls herself up along all the furniture. I think she'll be our earliest walker (good or bad). We had to babyproof once we got home from CO because she became so mobile so fast.
- Dave was in the boundary waters last week. They had great weather and a good time, but we are glad to have him home!
Those are the highlights our of past month and I'll try to be a more constant blogger :)
