Well, we're three days into school and miracles are happening here! Samantha has been awakened by her alarm every morning at 5:50 am. She starts getting ready and walks down the streets with Adam to catch the bus an hour later...you both would be very impressed with her. She goes to Cedar Ridge now and has a locker with 6 different teachers. Sariah rides her bike alone now, down the street to Greenville. Adam is still at North Cache (9th) and went to his first Sky View football game on Friday. Sydney is starting to feel normal for the most part. She's a little nervous for this term's classes because she has calculus and oil painting.
We went boating on Dad's birthday last Monday and when we got home, we had him open up his presents. I finally scored a home run with this one...we got him a slack line! He tried it at the reunion because Derek's wife McKenzie had hers (she is very good at it). So Dad spent quite a few hours on it and figured it out. Now he tries it every morning and night! Ours is set a little higher and longer but he'll get it a hang of it soon.
We are eating a ton of food from our garden. The watermelon are HUGE! Thanks to all of the different herbs that we're growing, we are in love with veggies again. We now know how to make fresh veggies the star of our gourmet meals! I'm starting to sound like Grandpa Winkel. :) By the way, he just had hip surgery on Tuesday and received s new "ball" in his hip socket. He's recovering now at home but I'm sure in a couple of months, he's going to feel like a kid again!
That about wraps it up for this week's happenings. I laugh AND cry while reading both of your letters. You both have grown so much and your letters are always my favorite part of my week! We're waiting to hear about your transfers this week Caleb. Another adventure awaits! And Jacob, the gym AND the chapel of yours looks like the inside of a ship. Take a picture of the outside because I'm very curious about all those round windows.
Love you both so much!
Mom
