Here we are in YC!

So, after being here for almost 5 months we consider ourselves practically settled in!


The girls are adjusting to being "Honkers" rather than "Indians", which is quite a feat if I do say so myself. Kaitlyn is going to try out for the tennis team in the fall and is starting her job tomorrow at Costa Vida and is so excited about that. She is planning camp as a YCL 2 and has made a lot of good friends.


Hollie tried out for the cheer team and made the football and basketball team and competition team. That should keep her pretty busy next year! She turns 16 this next week and is having a combined party with a new friend from seminary.


McKay is finding that a bigger city has more opportunities. He is running track and was invited to play the piano for the High School jazz band. Steve was thrilled since he LOVES jazz and it was quite a father/son opportunity as Steve would take McKay to jazz band and sit in and play the trombone with them which the teacher really appreciated since she is classically trained and doesn't know as much about jazz.


Maren is getting there. She and Chase go to a different school than most of the kids in our ward. So, it is taking her a bit longer to get to know the kids in the ward but they have been great to her. She is starting to get her "group" at school too. She has had a great teacher here and she loves her. She is on the swim team at the health club and enjoys it.


Chase has had the hardest time which really suprised me. Sometimes he says he doesn't want to be a "Lion" but a "Panther" like his old school. I have been able to help in his classroom once a week and he has an AWESOME teacher. He is playing baseball and in YC it is through the little league instead of parks and rec and this is serious stuff! He has been a red sox and looks so cute in his uniform!

You didn't say anything about you and Steve? How are the adults adjusting to the change. Ripon tends to have quite a grip on a persons heart. Maybe if you make a trip to Utah you can stop by and say "HI". We would love to see your family.
