Beginning of School

In August, Jack started high school in 9th grade and Kate started 3rd grade, both at Roosevelt School...and both excited to start a new school year.

As a freshman, Jack was excited to take some different classes and be on the JV football team.

 And as usual, Kate was extremely excited to be back in school. 

The year started out with a bang...after surviving 2-a-days in football, Jack found himself with a broken finger on Labor Day weekend, the day before turning 15 years old, due to "tossing" the football around with big brother, Travis. Surprisingly, it was not able to be manipulated back into place. Jack underwent out-patient surgery to place a pin in his finger, to which his hand was incapacitated for about 5 weeks. Best part of that was

Aunt Vickie was the surgical nurse to the hand specialist he saw.

  

Kate played soccer again this year. Whether hot or cold temperatures, she was consistantly one of the fastest on the team and quick to the ball. We will be looking into a soccer league in the Spring.

Kate still loves to hang out with her friends, ride her razor, play with River and reading. This season, she was invited to go to her first Texas Tech football game and cheer on the Red Raiders!
