I can’t believe we are already through 5 weeks of school. The boys are doing well and making progress according to their Progress Reports. Dylan is able to tell us all about his daily activities at school and is adjusting well to his new teacher. Austin’s school had to be online/virtual learning this week due to staff absences. Some of these related to Covid and some not. Despite this hiccup, he seems to be adjusting to seventh grade and doing well. He got his choir pants, shirt, and tie and is so excited! Ashleigh is settling in to her classes while taking a large load of 22 hours this semester. There is a great amount of reading, but she seemingly also has fun-filled times with worship, exercise, coffee, and outreach. She and I went plant shopping recently for her dorm. It looks so homely and welcoming. We are enjoying our time with Helen and Jim since moving here. We spent one evening having dinner and dessert downtown, had a cookout enjoying their new sunroom and patio, and spend many Sundays at church worshiping together. Ashleigh and I went to see Shane and Shane in concert. It was amazing! We were able to see our friends- Howard, Alleyn and Sam! This past weekend Ashleigh and I went to the Sweet Tea Festival. It is always a fun time tasting tea. This year we also enjoyed Lumpia and gyros. Of course, Ashleigh got kettle corn. Thankfully the rain stayed away! Although Chris ( nor anyone else in our family) doesn’t care for wrestling (which make me wonder about Dylan’s love and maybe recognize it’s a school thing ), he took Dylan to see WWE. Dylan had a great time. Chris says he knew every wrestler and the chant. Soon Austin will begin fall soccer.
