A Day of Firsts

Anna and Caleb had their big day this Wednesday, Sept. 9! Anna started Pre-K at Mt. Olive Christian Preschool, and Caleb started going to Miss Chris' home daycare. They both will attend these only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Mom is hoping to get her consulting work done during these times as well! Anna also had her very first soccer practice Wed. night. She did very well and listened to Coach Glenn and ran hard. The hardest part is always getting to know the other kids... unfortunately, she did not know any of them to start with. Eric and Anna have their first game this Saturday!! Pics to come....

He was mad that I was stopping him from playing to take his picture. I said goodbye to him at the daycare and he just said, "Bye, Mom", as in, "Go on, get out of here, I'll be fine". No kiss for Mom, nothing. Caleb is really a big boy now.


Anna's socer team and coach. This is a non-competitive league... it's just for fun, and for the kids to learn a few skills. They don't score the games, and every kid gets a trophy for participating at the end of the 8 week session. Eric will play this fall too!
