26 German conversation club!
27 Sam is on a basketball team now - practice is on Wed at 6pm-7pm. The coach is really nice - a dad who volunteers his time. Sam and Ben both LOVE basketball, so we caved in and signed them up. :)
28 Ben is taking lessons from Randy Parris now!
29 Sam is getting absolutely huge! Both boys are on huge growth spurts.
30 Loved these leaves out on a jog.
31 This is Emmy, the horse I have been riding! I am so lucky! She is furry :)
32 Sam won 2nd place in a math competition last weekend as a third grader in a field of third and fourth graders. Pretty cool! He got a certficate, too!
33 Several videos of the boys playing guitar and ukulele with their Dad yesterday.
34 We were thinking about how Sam played ukulele when he was five. He really had a progression and strumming pattern down. Maybe if we're lucky the boys will put on a Christmas concert for us :)
