Emmy started 9th grade HIGH SCHOOL and Bobby started 7th grade at the Academy last week. They are off to a great start and are enjoying it. They both want to get to school super early every day (Emmy an entire hour before school starts). They are both in tons of school activities. Emmy volleyball and Jazz Choir and Bobby is trying to do both soccer and football. We are so proud of them and how they've adjusted to being busy at school. Emmy's first days included volleyball try outs. By Wednesday last week she had some good news to share......
Emmy made the FRESHMAN A VOLLEYBALL TEAM AS THE STARTING SETTER!!!! She is one of only 7 girls on the team and she is very excited. She worked very hard at strength training this summer and went to multiple camps. She moved to setter as a new position and beat out 4 other setters for the starting position. She now is a great overhand server. I am very proud of her work ethic and determination and most of all.....for her attitude.
Emmy and Bobby also volunteered at McCabe Church as crafts volunteers. They enjoyed serving and always came home tired and with smiles (sometimes stickers) on their faces. Emmy devised a game to get kids to pick up stickers off the floor. If they picked them up, they could put them on her face. Bobby told me the kids were so cute and he loved helping. I told him I was proud of his character for serving others with such joy. He looked at me and told me he got that trait from me. What a sweetie!
