Lovin' the Fall Season

We're all keeping very busy with the fall months! Here we go...

School:
Gavin is adjusting well to Kindergarten with his teacher, Mrs. Geiger. He actually sleeps during rest time towards the end of the day! When I pick him up at 3:45pm he seems a bit groggy (they end rest time at around 3:30pm)! He definitely needs his sleep! Cailean volunteers one hour a week, I volunteer one hour a week and my dad volunteers in his class on a weekly basis. It's neat to see Gavin interact with his classmates and observe who he gravitates towards in class. He earned the Character Trait Award: Responsibility. That is quite a honor! He does not complain about doing any of his homework and takes his time doing it. He is really into writing out his first name and last name on everything!

Ian is doing just fine in 3rd grade with Mrs. Zeugner. His reading continues to improve and he prefers reading about anything related to sports. At this point, as long as he is reading, we really don't care what he is reading! If he is interested in it, then GREAT! He enjoys Social Studies and Science along with Math. He excels in Writing and really goes into detail with his stories. I had a parent/teacher conference the other day and he continues to set good examples in school, makes the right choices and doing really well with his academics. Cailean, my dad and I also volunteer in his classroom on a weekly basis.

Sports:
Ian and Gavin are loving baseball this fall as a Riverdog. Ian can be found mostly at first base and has really improved there. He continues to work hard and it is showing. Gavin loves sporting his #16 and enjoys playing pitcher and left centerfield. They have a great team and it's fun to watch the kids play together! Cailean continues to be an assistant coach and I continue to do the books and the team blog.

Church:
The boys are in full swing with Sunday School and church. We sit with Pop-pop and Mimi and hopefully Grammie will be back to joining us. Ian has attended youth group once and should be able to attend this Sunday again after baseball practice.

That's all the updates for now!
