Fall Fun!!

Well, here we go!! It's been a year that Gracie has been cancer free!! She has an appointment later this month and then we'll see if all is still well!! She competed this year in gymnastics and and did amazing! Her coach is moving her up 2 levels! She's really excited.

Jane has many exciting things going on right now. The last couple of weeks she's been campaigning for Student Body Treasurer. She gave her speech today--it was a rapping poem. She said her legs were really shaking and to make the shaking worse she had to stand on her tippy toes to be able to reach the microphone! (Her slogan was Jane may be small but she has it all!!) We could barely see her eyes and the top of her head over the podium! But she held on to the podium and kept the beat! Jane is now the newest elementary school treasurer!! She is so excited! She's in the middle of her science project, and she entered the GAP casting call. She continues to LOVE school.

Jessica is loving middle school. She is definitely in her element! She had her first choir concert and it was fabulous! She loves her classes, especially: Mythology, Dance and Choir. She not only got A's in those classes but 100 or above in them! How do you get more than 100--weird! They don't give traditional A, B's and C's, etc. they simply give the percentage. Anyway, she and her friend read about how the whales are having a difficult time right now and co-founded the 'Whale Club' at their school. They found a teacher to be their advisor and signed several kids up in the club and have even had a few meetings. Did we mention that she LOVES middle school?

Life here is going well. Hope it continues--you never know what is awaiting you just around the corner!
