Jake wins Election at Patterson!

Jake was the only 5th grader elected to student council at Patterson Elementary. He is the new historian and has taken his job seriously- his camera goes with him everywhere. This week he is working security at the book fair- it is a good week to be Jake! He was invited to be part of the conservatory at Childsplay in Tempe so he is spending his Saturdays is Tempe studying the art of acting. Yesterday the learned how to "fight" on stage- this should be a handy skill! He is also playing the saxophone at school and getting ready for his first concert.

Nick Scores BIG!

Nick is off to a GREAT football season. He has really taken to the sport and has become a key player on his team. He scored today- of coarse the the video camera had just run out of tape- but we have a witness! He is really into sports- playing football now- then wants to go to soccer, baseball, and then back to swimming. He is also going to train with Caitlin and I for the triathlon season.
He loves school and was extremely happy when two little boys moved in next door last week.
