School Days

School started on August 23. Duncan is in first grade

at Horace Mann School in Mrs. Lala's class. Eli moved

up to the Teddy Bear room at Cox Learning Center and

his teachers are Ms. Andrea and Ms. Joyce.

Duncan had his first soccer practice last night. We are

going to try playing at the YMCA this time. His first

game is on Saturday. He has been shooting lots of

baskets at home and at the gym so we might try

basketball after soccer.

After staying at their Papa's last weekend, Duncan

told me he had English toast and he really liked it.

"You mean an English muffin?", I asked him. "No, English

toast", he said. "Um, do you mean French toast?"

"Oh, yeah. I meant French toast."

We've had a couple of hummingbirds start hanging around

outside the kitchen window, so I put the feeder back up.

Every time he sees one, Eli says "Look! I see a honey bird!"

The last time we had a thunder storm he said he heard the

'under' and it was freaking him out.

FYI, Andy is meeting Roger Federer tonight in the quarterfinals

of the U.S. Open. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best....
