October already???

Well, we are settled in for the school year and it's been a great year so far for all of the kids....and David and Me! Vita has recovered from the travesty of not getting the "right" lunch time, Yana is like a new kid-social butterfly and doing great, Jakob is having a wonderful year with a male teacher and good bus driver, Noah is doing great as well...enjoying physics and reading us out of house and home, and Mr. Levi is doing great with kindergarten and his new independence! Levi adjusted to k-garten better than Mom did...much to Mom's dismay!

The girls continue to adjust and adapt. Yana finally figured out why we are strict and have rules...in her words: we don't want the kids to be losers and strippers. Yup...that sums it up!

Vita is doing art club and has enjoyed football games and dances.
Yana is doing art club, spirit club, and like the football games and dances too.
Jakob does what he does best....play ...he has also enjoyed riding his scooter in the neighborhood next door and visiting his friends.
Noah is our busy guy: Scouts, choir, piano, and wrestling
Levi is gaining on Noah: choir and wrestling...not to mention his steady stream of phone calls and friends coming over!

We will be staying in Springfield for the holidays this year....so if you get out our way, stop in and see us!!
