Little update........

I guess it’s time for an update, but honestly we don’t have much to update on. Our lives still consist of family time, work and soccer. Aiden practices Mon/Wed with one team and Tues/Thurs with the other and has at least one game a week for each team. So the soccer fields have started to feel like our second home. For a while I really worried he would get burned out, and we would have daily talks about how much he is playing… but the truth is when he isn’t at practice or a game he is at home – playing soccer. He plays soccer every chance he gets a day care, and it was the same way at recess at school last year. The boy just LOVES soccer! His req. team is still doing great, we’ve had a few tough games, but the boys are doing incredibly well. Aiden’s academy team is struggling a little this season. I think the 2 main contributing factors are 1) they are playing a year up and 2) the boys original coach was released from the club, and they are now having to deal with getting to know a new coach, and his style of coaching. Tonight Aiden’s two teams face each other! This has already happened once this season. Aiden has made the choice to play for his req. team again. I’ll try to get some pictures.


Speaking of soccer, Adam and Aiden got to go watch FC Barcelona play Club America at Jerry world a few weeks ago. Both of my boys had a wonderful time! Adam took my camera and got some pictures. I’ll try to remember to post a few of those soon.

School starts on Monday. Aiden is less than excited. Our district, (just like so many others) lost a lot of money from the government, and one of the programs that faced huge hits was the GT program. Our school will no longer have their own GT coordinator, instead the GT students will be “clustered” and do extra work in school and home…So Aiden is majorly bummed he won’t get to spend as much time with the older GT students. Last year a huge portion of his class time was spent with 1st and 2nd graders, and he really liked that. We’re hoping and praying Aiden ends up with a teacher that will challenge him……… fingers crossed! Meet the teacher night is later this week, and we’re really looking forward to seeing who he is placed with. I’ve got my fingers crossed for one teacher in particular.

Ryann also starts school Monday. I think she is a little more excited than Aiden, but for social reasons. She has missed her friends so much this summer. Her one wish this summer was to have a few sleepovers, and while she did get to do that with her friends here, she did not get to see her school friends – which was a big disappointment for her. She has an orthodontist appointment Thursday afternoon, and we’re hoping for good news. Last we heard she was 1 to 2 months ahead of schedule!!

I guess that’s pretty much it for us right now – I warned you there wasn’t much updating to be done.
I’ll try to update again before school starts.
We hope you all had an amazing summer, I know we sure did!!
