Taylor and Amber started basketball on the second day of school, and that generally involves games and practices 4 out of the 5 days of their school week. Levi has already finished the school soccer season as well as the cross country one, and for the first time in his school career, David was also on the cross country team. He had a great time competing at the first two meets. The junior team came away with a 2nd place finish at one of the meets, so he was pleased to come home with a lovely blue ribbon.
Levi exceeded his own goals at the culminating All-Ontario Christian School meet, coming in 31st place! There were over 30 Christian Schools represented at that meet, so it was most definitely a personal best for him!!! We are so proud of them both for training at school and at home and for persevering and using their God-given gifts.
The girls are almost at the end of their regular season games, and then hopefully they will put on a good show in the play-offs. Having girls on both the junior and senior teams has proven to be very exciting! Lots of games to watch and lots of time on the bleachers. (Can't say my back always likes that part of it.) We haven't been able to watch all their games, but when things aren't too crazy, we are there with our voices to cheer them on! Both teams have done quite well this season...I think the junior team has only lost one regular season game so far...SO...the play-offs should be VERY exciting! I will attempt to keep you posted once that showdown starts. (Amber is really hoping the seniors will make it to OFSAA again...only time will tell.)
Rick is busy at school with all that is involved in keeping things running smoothly and he does his best to keep everything in balance. At the end of September I started my EA position at DCCS. I am enjoying my time back in the classroom. My immune system is working overtime trying to fight off all those germs that 4 and 5 year olds are so great at sharing...but other than that, it is going very well. I love being back with the children and because I have the pleasure of being an EA, it doesn't involve all the extra prep-work that goes along with teaching. Besides the work at school, I also teach a few piano students during the week and that is also a lot of fun.
We have had so much rain and nasty weather this autumn that I haven't made it out to take any fall pictures...YET! I hope to squeeze a bit of photography in there before all the leaves are gone...they are falling fast and furious these days...
