Life after Summer

I love summertime--I seriously, actually, literally, and sincerely love having my kids home for the summer! I go through withdrawals for the first few weeks of school each fall. This summer was packed full, as usual, and the school year will be packed just a full...
Jake has hit the football field running. He lives for football. It is also his first year of high school, and he is excited for the big life--classes, football, and cute girls. What else is there? Oh, he has started playing piano, and he likes it, no kidding.
Morgan is a senior and love it--he rules the school--he is taking a gazillion AP courses and will be a very, very, very busy boy. He expects to throw in his job, video games, and dating into that pot o' fun...
Abby just started 4th grade AND the viola! She is walking on the clouds with this viola. She absolutely loves it. She has some good friends, and she loves acting--unless she has a audience. She gets that from me...the mama.
Jason is on break from BYUI, he goes back in January. He will be working full time and living here for the next few months. He loves being back in the old neighborhood with the old gang.
Erryn is a junior this year, but she says there just aren't any boys worth dating right now. We aren't complaining at alllllll. She lives for volleyball, but opted out of it this season so that she could get a job. She wants to start saving some serious money for college and a mission--and babysitting just isn't letting her rack up the cash fast enough. She is in two performance groups (they have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall next year! They performed in DC last spring) and is excited for the plays and musicals lined up for this year--Dracula, Kiss Me Kate, Taming of the Shrew, and Guys and Dolls--looks like a very entertaining year--I'm pretty sure the school district knows Kiss Me Kate and the Taming of the Shrew are essentially the same story...good times! Erryn spent a lot of the summer volunteering as an assistant coach at the Rec Center--she coached track and volleyball for little kids--she loved it.
You are looking at the new Personal Progress Leader for our ward's Young Women! I am having so much fun with this calling, and the girls are just incredible. Clint is having the time of his life working in the nursery! He loves it, especially after a pretty long gig in the bishopric...
That's enough for now--celebrate the beginning of the new season! Clint and I absolutely love FALL!
