Connor is learning volleyball as his first sport in PE and he loves it. He is so into it that he often asks Stuart to practice with him in the backyard. Connor tries hard and listens to advice, thus he is improving quite well. He feels that he is adequate with bumping and not very good with setting, and he loves spiking. But I feel that he does well with all three hits. The PE teacher places Connor along with 5 other students as their advance teams within the class, so Connor is happy about that. I enjoy hitting a volleyball as well, so I am happy that Connor sometimes practice with me too.

Both boys chose to sign up for cross country as their school sport activity, and the season began 8/30/21. They have 2 to 3 one hour practices weekly and they often run around the baseball field or the 2 mile Bronco lap during practices. Logan seems to be doing fine, no complaints as usual, and he would tell us how fast he runs sometimes. On the other hand, Connor did not enjoy running, but he seemed to enjoy the social part of being in a team. Sometimes Connor ended up being one of the last ones finishing the run as he would wait for the last boy and being a good sport. After the initial two weeks trial, Connor decided that he does not enjoy running very much and dropped out from the team. Logan will continue the remaining 3 weeks of the season. More about the meets later.

The boys were not thrilled that summer was over but th
ey did not seem unhappy to have to return to school. This year the school’s bell schedule moved back a bit; school day starts at 8:20am. Logan made plan with Cole to meet up at 7:50am. The boys woke up and got ready with no issue; they both took off and walked to school with Cole. At the end of the day, they reported the day went fine. They both met with their own friends for lunch and the day seemed uneventful. Connor did not seem to have any issue or complaints being in a new school. It was strange though for us and Buddy as the house is now quieter than usual. Stuart and I are very happy that the kids can receive in-person learning again, and we just hope for a safe and healthy year.

We finally got a new fence up in August which was something we hoped to have done like 2 years ago. This project took them 5 days with 2 guys and they did a beautiful job. It was slightly inconvenient during those days when we had to make sure Buddy on a leash even for a potty break, and it felt weird not having the house being enclosed. Thus it felt even better when the job was completed. The fence is 1 foot taller on all sides and it looks great. We do have one final step, ie. stain the wood later, to complete this big project.
