Hannah started Kindergarten. After a bit of a rough start (a few injuries and missing me a lot), she's doing well now. She has lots of good friends and loves her teacher.
Roger ran his first marathon this fall! He ran the Portland Marathon with our friend David. The next runs he has planned are a 15k and a half-marathon, and he doesn't plan to run a full marathon again!
Nathan played soccer this fall, and was on an amazing team that was undefeated this season. It was fun to watch the games. Right now he plays basketball for the middle school, and also enjoys band and youth group.
Alan played football for the middle school this fall, and they were undefeated, too! Right now he is involved in youth group, band, and jazz band.
As for me (Denise), I've been enjoying the challenges of working at a high school and two elementary schools, and last week began working at two additional elementary schools. Besides working more this year, I've also been learning a lot on the piano and starting playing with the worship team in church. It has been very challenging for me, but I love it! Buddy goes a little crazy after my longer days at work, and can be very naughty. I'm always threatening to get rid of him, but the kids love him. Can you see why?
