The 2009-10 School year is on!

School started just two days after we arrived home from the states. So much for jet-lag,school was in session! Making it to the bus early in the morning was the easy part, it was the "staying awake" during school that was difficult. However, the boys were great sports, and were excited to see their friends again, and looked forward to the new school year. This year we have a boy in every school--Bracken 10th grade---High School. Parker 7th grade--Middle School. Tyson--3rd grade--Elementary School. Preston--Pre-K.

Preston cried the first day of school watching his three older brothers board the school bus, and begged to go with them. He was excited to be able to attend the neighborhood Montessori school a couple mornings a week.
Not only did the homework immediately come, so did the after school sports. This year Bracken chose to play baseball at SAS.

Tyson continues playing soccer....

Parker started some serious training with a Chinese coach who trains professionally. The coach doesn't speak a word of English, but with the help of the English interpretor, and his serious demeanor, the boys definitely know he means business! Soccer has defintely taken on a whole new meaning ---literally!



Preston plays on the sidelines regardless of the sport, and asks us daily to take him to "his team" to play! We look forward to watching his skills someday soon!

We wish we could watch all the kids in their sports. We love doing that! Preston is going to be so great after watching all his big brothers! He is the happiest little kid, isn't he--always smiling!
Love, Grandma Copeland
