It is so nice to be able to leisurely wake up on Saturday mornings without the blast of an alarm clock. We made our list and hope to cross everything off before the Michigan football game this afternoon!

This week was the first week that I went in to school every day. Some days I only taught for a couple hours and some I was there all day. It is going much better than I expected. The kids are good for the most part and I am slowly starting to learn some of their names. My jobs this week were pretty random. I was a librarian, science teacher, year book teacher and choir teacher. Also on one day I was the picture coordinator as the kids each came to get their school pictures taken. Nothing is very difficult. I am getting lots of reading done and can even walk home for lunch on some days.

Time helping Amanda and Mark with their homework is going well. It was hard for the first week or so but now they are more into the swing of things in school and their schedule. Mark started being on a soccer team and is disappointed that practice is only for an hour.

Life is good and we have much to be thankful for!
