We've had a wonderful and busy fall. School started in August and I am Class Chair for the 7th grade, which doubled in size from last year, and have enjoyed meeting all the new families. Jake is having a good year, including working in 8th grade math. He will take the SATs in December to apply for a summer academic program at Duke University...kind of cool! The biggest news with Jake is that he becomes a bar mitzvah in February. My fabulous husband has been working with my friend Emily and planning the party and working with the Rabbi and Cantor and all sorts of other important stuff. He's been amazing!
Anna is still heavily involved in gymnastics. She worked her behind off all summer and just recently got moved up from Level 5 to Level 6. She's very excited for the upcoming season, which starts in December. Anna is LOVING her teacher, Mrs. Waters, and is finding her groove with school, social life and gym. It's been fun watching her find her way.
It's amazing to me to see the growth in both of my kids - they are strong, determined and loving kids...who sometimes make me completely crazy! :D
