Is September Over Already?!?

Here we are starting the last quarter of the year.  I can't believe it's October 1st.  Of course that mean's I have slipped and did not post a thing about the month of September so here is an update on all things Buckelew.

Grace had a pretty good month.  She continues in karate and is about to test for her high red belt.  She auditioned for and made We R Odell Chorus.  They will perform at a few events in December including at Ronald McDonald House and a local retirement home.  Golf is still her favorite and she is doing well.  After not practicing her driving skills for a few weeks she hit a couple 75 yard shots; soon she might get to do a short round as her short game is great.  And finally this past week she received her mid-term report for the 1st quarter.  She was nervous and I have no idea why - she brought home a 95 in English, a 97 in Math, a 99 is Social Studies and a 94 in Science.  Hopefully the next four weeks will go just as smooth.

Adam is doing great.  He is officially in Pre-K at Tutor Time.  He is working hard on his letters, numbers, shapes and all things he needs to know for kindergarten.  Each day they get a color code on their chart to let parents know what kind of day he's had - so far mostly greens (which is good) with a couple yellows and oranges.  Let's just say the chart is a rainbow and red is BAD while purple is the BEST.  He's also doing well in swimming.  That boy is not afraid of anything (except bugs) and will jump in with his arms spread wide open.  He does keep his instructor on her toes.  And finally he has been playing soccer at school.  They have a group that comes each week and he's been doing great.  To quote the Coach "He is a joy to have in class".

David is still working hard.  If he's not at work you will find him in the garage watching a game, working on a model airplane or picking up the toys that have invaded his space.

As for me, I still burn the candle at both ends and the middle.  Work is busy as we have once again adjusted our focus.  My Mary Kay business continues to grow and I have won some pretty cool prizes lately.  The PTA newsletter is still my project though this may be my last go-round with that.  I'm running out of ideas.  I'm in my last few months as an Executive Council member of the Ladies of Coker but have accepted a spot on the Alumni Board so Coker is still part of my activity roster.

Yeah that's a lot of stuff happening with us.  And now we are in my favorite part of the year - Fall.  If you don't hear from me before - we'll have a new post at Halloween!!
