School started before Labor Day this year, which was odd, but come June, I will be so glad that we are done on June 4! I'm working full time as the 4 year old Kindergarten classroom aide, which is always a fun challenge, to get to learn all these new little personalities but also to see them flourish throughout the year!
Charlie-bug splits his time between my friend Jackie who runs an in-home daycare, 3 days a week to Aunt Becky's/Aunt Jenni/sometimes Daddy on Monday's & Friday's... he's adapted just well, but seems to be generally happy to see Mama's face at the end of his day! Other than some sleeping issues, he's a great kid, usually has a smile for you, rarely cries, I can't complain, he's a true blessing.
6th grade has been...fun, should we say? A whole new ball of wax for Taylor changing classroom's and teachers throughout the day, but her first progress report was really good, 6 a's, 1 b & 1 b-, we are very proud. She's playing the flute in band, and is currently playing volleyball and will play basketball later this winter.
Kenzie is in 4th grade, continues to do well in her acedemics and is just an overall great kid. She just completed her "reading around the world assignment" for her g/t reading class, 1500 pages!!! That's more reading than I will probably do all year and she finished in the first 6 weeks of school! She also is the manager for Tay's volleyball team as well as take dance class on Monday nights in Shawano.
Brookie is well, Brookie..She continues to be a ray of sunshine in our lives (99% of the time!) She's in the 2/3 Split class this year, but having only 8, 2nd graders seems to have helped her a little bit acedemically, she only got 1 wrong on her first math test!! She too remains in Dance class and loves her teacher, Miss Katie.
Jerod is still working at JBS (in this day and age, thank goodness for the blessings of having jobs!) he's busy, busy but manages to bow hunt a few days a week...
The best part of fall for the Hoffman's will happen in 10 days when we board a plane for DISNEYWORLD!! To me it is a little slice of heaven on earth, we love it there...and THANKS to Papa & Gramma we can to spend 5 nights/6 days in the Florida sun, again!!
I've included a picture from earlier this month, of bug, smilin' buy his big sisters tractor that she won at the Gresham Farm Heritage Days, oh boy I have another tractor lover in my family!
TTFN!
