Just a quick little update…. We got the results from Aiden’s GT(Gifted and Talented) test yesterday, and he did score high enough to be placed in the GT class. He’ll go to GT a few hours a week, during that time he’ll be in class with the first grade GT students, since the school does not normally have the kindergarteners tested/placed. We are so very proud of our little guy, and even better is how proud he is of himself. It was so fun getting to tell him, and watch/listen to his reaction. Aiden is very excited to get started!
Keller Galaxy had another game, and won, the score was 16 to 8. This time Aiden scored 7 of our goals. He is having a great time playing; and Adam and I are having a blast watching him play.
So I guess that’s it for now, more updates to come. Also, I’m planning on getting our photo site updated tonight, I’ve dropped the ball on that – sorry!

School/soccer update
The latest run down.
Ryann was suppose to come home this weekend, but ended up catching an awful little bug. We thought it best for her to stay where she was, and rest. She went to church yesterday, so hopefully that means the bug is behind her, and she is back to her old self again! So far school is going really well for her. She has the same teacher she had last year, and a lot of the same classmates. Adam met with Mrs. Priest, Ryann’s teacher, and she just ADORES Ryann- and only had positive things to say about her academically too. I think this will probably be a pattern for Ryann’s school career; she just has that type personality. We CAN NOT wait to get her next weekend, it’s been TOO long!!
Aiden is doing great in school too. He cracks me up, everyday when I pick him up I ask him about his day, and everyday I hear, “… and we learned.” “What did you learn Aiden.” “Mommy, it’s a really long day, I can’t remember it all.” I know he is retaining the information, because it comes up in random conversations, but it’s so easy to see those “male traits” coming out, the details are just not that important to him, (which is TOTALLY opposite from his big sister). We have our first meeting of the year with his teacher next Monday. We’ll meet one on one with her each quarter to hear how he is doing. We also have a meeting with the GT teacher coming up, either this week or next. Typically they don’t test the kindergarten students this early in the year, but Aiden’s teacher really pushed for it, so he could possible be placed in GT after our meeting. The GT teacher already told us he did remarkably well on the test, so more news on that later.
Friday morning Aiden’s school hosted a breakfast honoring Grandparent’s. Papa was such a sweet guy and rearranged his morning to drive all the way out to Aiden’s school and have breakfast with him. Aiden was so excited! He really enjoyed that special one on one time he got with one of his favorite guys!
Saturday Adam and Aiden had their fist game of the season. We had the minimum number of kids show up to the game, (we’ve got one kid that’s been out of the country and another who is recovering from surgery), so the boys that did show up to had to play the entire game. Turns out that was all we needed the since Galaxy won the game, 19 to 3! (Aiden scored 14 of those goals!!) We’re looking forward to another great season. The boys have another game coming up this Tuesday, and again on Saturday.
Adam and I are getting ready to celebrate or six year wedding anniversary! We’re celebrating a week early by going this weekend. It hardly feels like six years. Let’s hope that feeling continues.
I’ll update pictures tonight.
Until next time!
