First Week Over....

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird

I saw that and thought it was funny. I also find it to be very true or helpful.

We survived the first week of school. The girls love their classes and teachers. Kaijsa has one that is or will be annoying and we'll see if she passes that class but otherwise they should both do very well. Kaitlyn had tryouts for the volleyball team but unfortunately she didn't make it. She is thinking of being a manager on the team though and that way she can keep trying out with them. That way she'll be more ready for tryouts next year. She's off to practice for basketball season now...let's hope she makes the team. She is a great athlete and tries hard. Keep trying Kait! We love you!

Kaijsa if finding that balancing school, life, and work isn't all that easy. She is doing well so far though. Keep up the good work Kaij! You'll find time for those things that are most important. Seminary starts in a week and that will be one more thing to fit in your day. She has a new teacher this year so we'll see if she likes her and the class. Here's hoping...

It's been a good week and has gone by fast. Tonight is the first football game. We can't make it, plus it's down in San Antonio but we wish our team the best of luck! Goooo Panthers!!!!

P.S. babies survived the week and mommy too. We too are finding a new routine and so far so good. Daddy is doing well and has been helping the Missionaries quite a bit. We love our Missionaries. They are such good examples to Kamden and the girls. Let's hope the next week is as good as this one and that the weekend goes by slowly and peacefully.

Awesome for Kaitlyn to keep trying and to remain optimistic even though she did not make the team. That says a lot about her! And Kaija works and goes to school and now seminary! Wow, that says a lot about her as well! And YOUsurvived the week! You are supermom!!! Tell Kaitlyn I played basketball for a lot of years so if she needs a few pointers, give me a call!
