On Wednesday, Jami read his poetry in the Share Fair at WILC. He seemed very proud and did a great job.
Jami read a few of his poems for share fair.
On Friday, Heidi and her children (Peyton, Logan, Kadin and Carson) visited us for the afternoon. Jami and Peyton enjoyed playing gamecube and swinging on the tree swing in the back yard.
Saturday, the boys and Evan went to their soccer game (yay, the first!). Jami was very unhappy that I had to miss it because of the WILC planning meeting. I decided to go with them for warmups and leave at the last possible moment, and that seemed to help. Unfortunately, I missed a very big event - Jami scored the only goal for his team that day! The game was a tie, and both boys came home very happy.
After the game, they went with Evan to test drive some fancy cars. They'd been looking forward to that for a while. Then they drove down to Cincinnati to meet me at Katie's, for Clover's birthday party. It was a great party! The boys spent some time on the computer and some time playing with all their little cousins.
We're on our second week attending the UU Fellowship in Dayton. Jami doesn't really look forward to going - he finds his children's class to be boring. Fortunately, he knows several of the kids in his group, so he looks forward to seeing them. This year, his 4th-5th grade class is studying the holidays of various religions. So far I think they've done Rosh Hashana and next week is Sukkot.
After church, we went to Target to find new Gameboy games, which the boys decided to buy with their savings. Jami bought Harvest Moon, a game he enjoyed with Peyton.
We recently began having the Word of the Day on the chalk board. I choose a word and write it in Spanish, Porteugese, Latin, Japanese and Korean. We were amused to discover yesterday that the word for sun is "sol" in three of those languages!
Jami is enjoying spelling hard words. I choose them from our fat dictionary and he takes the challenge. He is a naturally good speller. He is also working through his math book, on measurement.
Last night Adrian visited us - he is Evan's first childhood friend. He's a great guy and we had a really nice visit. He also has a 9 year old son.
