Mostly Gymnastics, Not Many Pictures

Mike and Hallie each had their first days of work for the semester. Mike continued teaching the same course as last semester to a new group of students on campus, and Hallie started a new job as special education technician at the kids’ school. Both seem to be settling in fine. Hallie’s boss just received an award and is a laid back guy who really cares about the kids. Hallie really likes what she is doing and everyone has seemed to be happy she is there. Our principal is great and really supportive. It is nice that Hallie goes at the same time as the kids and can come home before they are done so if she wants to get some things done she has a bit of time.

Friday the kids had school off for the end of the term and all we did was gymnastics all day. Hallie was at the gym 3 times that day with a quick trip to the Chiropractor for Landon. We really like our chiropractor which is great since Landon had Landon on his shoulder blade poorly the day before. All seems well now with our little gymnast. She also found Mike some sweet Argentine food at a restaurant in Salem called Siro's Place. 

Mike took Eliza to the university women’s gymnastics home opener while Hallie and Landon were at his practice. Eliza knows enough about the sport to be able to critique the college girls’ routines. Mike just watched and learned. 

Hallie has claimed herself as the boys’ team mom as she really enjoys watching how the boys are improving and cheering them on each day.

Hallie spent the whole day Saturday doing fundraising at a meet at Airtime while Mike looked after the kids at home.

After church on Sunday, we went up to Salt Lake to see our friend Christian get baptized. It was a nice time see friends that we have known for a long time, a friend Hallie only has really known for 10 years but hasn’t seen in a long while, and someone she has only seen on Facebook. Our family met a fun friend and her daughter who is right close to Eliza’s age, and the two girls seemed to hit off. Definitely need to have a playdate for these two.

An overall good week. The next week is going to be crazy.
