What's up with us

I was trying to think of what to write about what we as a family are doing, and I don't feel like there is a lot to write about.
Aaron just got back from recruiting for Chevron at Montana Tech. He brought goodies back so that's fun, I will be sporting my "Digger" pants proudly. I think he should be here for the rest of the year which is a very welcome thought!

Jacob is psyched about his fundraiser for school and has a huge goal of winning a robot. hahaha you can email me if you want to get online and order something :) He is not doing sports this fall but is in gymnastics once a week and is liking that. I love having weekends free too! He is also doing Cub Scouts which is just starting up. hahaha Popcorn sales start October 1st! hahaha, be ready :D I thought with him not doing sports this would be a great laid back fall. . . well cub scouts is going to be a lot of work :) I told Aaron in the beginning though that it's his deal, I am not going to be pushing for achievements. . .we'll see how long I can hold to that :)

Maddison has started Pre-k and is going everyday. In some ways it's hard for me and in others its wonderful! We are so proud of her, she has started bringing home word cards from school this week! Which is a huge deal :) she is the first in her class to do so. At Montessori they teach each child at their own level and it's exciting to see her interest in reading grow with bringing home the word cards. Sorry to brag, but if we don't brag for our kids who will? {shrug} She is also doing gymnastics onces a week, which is great, she is gifted; it's fun to watch her improve! I don't know what we'll do in the spring when some more of her friends are going to start soccer, we may try both. . . I don't know.

I am doing ok, pretty overwhelmed but I think with MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) starting on Friday it will slow down a bit. I just feel like I am in a constant race, and just running and not stopping. I guess I am stopping but even when I am paused I am thinking about what I need to organize or do next. For those of you who aren't here in Midland I am on the board for our MOPS group and doing a bible study and getting ready to lead a life group (community group for our church) in which we are going to start another bible study. I am also on the PTA board at Jake's school. So that is why I feel like I am running a race constantly. I am doing ok, not sure yet if my endurance is going to increase or if I will run out of energy. I really think my endurance is increasing and I feel like I will be able to relax soon.
That's enough for now, I love you all!
