Kung Fu kids

This is a possible Christmas picture; I've been bad about taking pictures lately, as I left my good camera in MN and just have one that has a bum battery.

Settled in for the school year

Well, everyone is settled in to school now, and everyone likes their teacher! Tom has the same teacher as last year at Children's Center, although he is working in the school salad bar a few hours a week and going to the "adolescent" class one hour a week as well, to start transitioning him to the older classes.

Jim LOVES his teacher this year, and is doing well most days, though keeping quiet is still hard for him. The classwork is too easy for him is part of the problem. He is in Cub Scouts too and enjoys that.

Antonia adores everything about school, especially her young kindergarten teacher, and also Daisy Scouts (a step below Brownies). She is just mad that she goes to afternoon kindergarten so she leaves last.

Bug goes to preschool 3 mornings a week and has "berry fun there, Mom." I worried that he would be more shy, as he really hadn't been outside the family much, but he is doing great.

THe oldest three are all taking Kung Fu as well (Chinese Karate), as is Jon. They are good at it and enjoy it. They go two nights a week. So with scouts one night a week two, plus pack meetings once a month and dance on Saturdays, we are pretty busy around here!

My business has kept up pretty well, though it is much slower here in the fall as the wedding stuff slows down. I have added printed napkins and they are picking up steam. We'll see how the holiday cards and personalized Post-its do over the Christmas season.
