Football

Clay's football

Last week Clay played football in Tracy. My sister, Jeanna, was there to watch him and she took some pictures of Clay playing. Thanks, Jeanna. Clay plays running back and corner back and he was chosen today as the teams punter. We are so proud of him.

Relaxing after a long day

This week was everyone's first full week of school. I think we all survived pretty good. Camryn started at Sonshine preschool this week and goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She is fortunate to have me as her teacher. The kids wondered why she calls me mom. We are trying to break that habit. Chance had his first full week of Kindergarten. I think that he had a good week. It is a big transition going to all day every day, so he did come home quite crabby after school. His teacher said that he is adjusting well and starting to talk more in class. He is pretty shy, but he's getting better. Clay has had homework every night this week. 7th grade is quite different than 6 th grade. He had a football game last night in Tracy. He is really enjoying football. They lost, but I don't think that it phased him to much. This is his first year of playing tackle football in full pads. I started preschool this week too. I have to say that it didn't go to bad. I am tired today though. It is going to take awhile for me to get used to getting back into our crazy routine. I was spoiled being off for the summer. Hope you enjoy the video. The kids were playing around on the trampoline last night. We were all home relaxing together finally. Hope you all enjoy the weekend.

First week of school

Well today I brought Chance to his first day of Kindergarten. It was very quiet today at home. I haven't started school yet, so it was just me and Camryn at home today. At one point this morning she said to me, "I miss Chance". I did too. I wondered all day what he was doing. He finally came home and sounded like he had a good day. I think that it gets long, but he survived. We will see how his 2nd day of school is tomorrow.

Clay started 7th grade this year and he seems like he likes it. Although he will have a lot of homework this year I have a feeling. It already has started. He already asked me to help him with this math homework tonight. He is also in football this fall and has enjoyed that alot so far. Tonight was his first scrimmage in Fulda and he got 2 touchdowns, the only score for Windom. Yeh Clay. I had to miss it tonight because I had already scheduled orienation at my preschool. So that was a bummer. But Jay, grandma, grandpa and Chance went to cheer him on. Camryn went with me to meet her new friends in her class this year. Next week I start school and then life in the Elness house will be busy. I also work at ECFE this year in Windom 2 nights a week now, Mondays and Thurs. I'm tired just thinking about it. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Chance's first day of school.
