Bair Update - October 2007

Okay,
we'll give

this a try.

:-)

All is well for the Bairs in Oregon. The rain is starting and our backyard projects aren't finished yet, so we're scrambling to finish -- dirt, sprinklers, fence, and sod all in one summer! Phew! I don't know who will be more excited when it's finished - Mom & Dad, or the kids who have to put up with us being out there all the time.

Jenna, Kaylee, & Nathan are in the full-swing of school. Going to a public school after 3 years of a charter school is a bit of a change for Jenna, but everyone is adjusting well. Jenna is leading her class in Word-Gobblers (reading pages). So far, she's read about 1200 pages every week since school started. (And I thought summer was bad trying to keep her adequately supplied with library books -- now she just goes to the school library every recess and gets new books for herself!) Jenna & Kaylee are my big helpers around the house. Nathan goes to half-day kindergarten every day and is trying to learn how to read and write.

Lisette & Talia get to stay home with Mom & Dad. They are getting bigger and cuter every day, and we certainly enjoy them. We pretty much just try to stay on top of everything and not forget anything very important. Scott is enjoying his work, most of the time, and we enjoy having him work from home so we get to see him a lot more often.
