September at a Glance

Now let's see what happened in September.

Grandparents' Day at school

Not long after school started, the elementary school children held their Grandparents' Day program. Grandma Soni and Vicki went (Mommy had to join them to get some pictures) and had a good time with the boys. They did a musical program for all of the grandparents.

Each of the kids had made special things for their grandparents' to take home with them.

Volleyball
Ali was able to play middle school volleyball in September (and into October). She was one of only five fifth graders to be able to play. She really enjoyed volleyball, and looks forward to playing again. She played very well, and developed a great serve already.

We had a family day at Tanner's Orchard in September as well.

The girls did the corn maze. This was Grandma Soni, Tammy & Brooke, Ali & Krista)

Only Ali could go into a corn maze, and come out with a cat!

It was a great day of family fun!

Here are some more fun pictures from September at the Quick house

No more training wheels for Dustin!

A Little Behind

Wow! Am I behind or what?! I cannot believe how far behind I am here! I'm sorry about that. I'll try to catch us up to date.

Before catching up on September, there was one other big event in August. Cody got his very own four-wheeler from PaPa John and Vicki.

Breakin' it in right!

Is this considered "Laying down on the job?"

Everybody is back to school

Well, all the kiddos are in school. Ali & Cody started back on August 19th. Dustin just started yesterday, September 2nd.

Ali started 5th grade this year. At our school, 5th and 6th grades are middle school, and 7th and 8th grades are junior high. She is really enjoying it! She is especially loving science. Right now, they are collecting monarch caterpillars and eggs, and observing their steps to becoming butterflies. She has found so many to take to school.

This is Ali's first walk into the middle school/junior high school wing.

This is her cool locker that she has been so excited about!

Cody has started 2nd grade. Now that Ali isn't in the elementary wing, I think he feels more like the "big kid" now. He is enjoying school and being with his friends very much.

Cody's classroom

Dustin just started preschool. He will go for one year, then head off to kindergarten next year. I think he really enjoyed school yesterday! He has been so excited ever since we started telling him about going to school this year. He goes in the afternoons. So Mommy & Dustin have an early lunch together, then he is off to school like the big kids. Today, he is even going to ride the bus. Talk about excited!

He's looking up at the wall with pictures of the Preschool Friends.

Of course, I have to share this pic of Mommy & Dustin before heading off to preschool for the first time.
