August Family Update! 2019

Our kids started school on August 1st! Elizabeth, Ethan and Jonah attend Highland High school, a mere quarter mile from our home. They walk unless they have their instruments (Ethan plays the French horn and Jonah the Baritone) and then I drive them- which has made life easier! They are in the Marching Band and have their first field show on Friday at the Football Game which I am super excited to see! It will bring back memories from when I was in Marching Band.

Asher is in 8th grade- can you believe it?!- and also plays the Baritone and Trombone in Jazz band that he recently joined and really likes. He has a close friend George in that class. Asher is in a gifted and talented program where he has the same teachers and students for two years. It’s been really fun for him and he’s been thriving!

Declan started Kindergarten! He likes to observe everything before he jumps into the situation so it took he a few days to get the hang of it all, but he’s doing amazingly well! He learned to read a week before he started school so it was nice to surprise his teacher!

Elizabeth feels very comfortable in all of her classes and has a wonderful counselor and life coach (my sister-in-Law) that she is working with so she is doing well!

Josh is keeping occupied with his second job as a fee examiner for PG&E’s Bankruptcy. We’re working towards paying off credit card debt and saving for a home here in Arizona (hopefully with a pool!).

Megan is 10 weeks pregnant with their 6th baby and they are hoping it’s a girl! Let’s keep those fingers crossed! She’s been having morning sickness all day and night but she gets to drink all the ginger ale she wants so she’s happy!

Life is good here in arizona!
