Update

Reed has slept without a binky for 2 nights in a row. That may not seem like a big deal since he’s 3 ½, but it is. The only problem is he grinds his teeth when he sleeps. They’ll be nubs by the time he’s 5, but the binky is gone…

Cole’s soccer team is as good as advertised. 2-0, scored 11 allowed 1 (we scored on ourselves). I think my concerns about the small field were warranted. Only 6 more games, hoping to pitch a shutout for the rest of the year…

Craig is really working hard on his school projects. I’ve been impressed that he is doing a little each night. He is also doing a good job with scouts. Looking forward to the campout next weekend…

Tod watched the Dodgers/Cubs last night instead of the La Tech game. He loves to watch baseball. A man after my own heart. He’s going on the annual Pfaff UCLA trip this year. I can’t wait for that…

Kim is back in the swing of school. Good thing she loves her co-workers and her kids. I talked to a parent of one of her kids and he told me she was the best teacher he had ever known. Counting all his teachers, all his sons teachers, all the teachers he has ever come in contact with. Her passion for teaching and her love for her students is evident to anyone who has ever been blessed to have a child in her class. Kim was honored by a local high school a couple years ago as an influential teacher based on a nomination from a graduating senior. Kim had taught her 7th grade math and was the best teacher she ever had. She has had students tell her that they learned to love math from her. Others come back every year at open house to give “Mrs. Pfaff” a hug and the parents tell her how much they miss her. I envy her passion…

Nothing much going on with me. Tons of stuff on the to-do list, not near enough “passion” to get it done. Maybe tomorrow…

Lady is in the doghouse. Kim decided we should leave her out of her kennel during the day. It worked fine the first day. The next day we had a partially chewed shin guard and a baseball glove that was missing the entire webbing. It was there when we left for work, but in Lady’s stomach when we returned. (And it was back on the floor that evening…NICE). Well, that was nothing compared to today. Kim came home to a nasty smell and found that there was dog #$%^ on the rug in the family room. No, wait, two piles! The rug was quickly thrown away and Lady was out back for the evening. Would this be a bad time to ask anyone if they want a dog?

love this post and love even more the part about kim and how she teaches. my tyler is BLESSED to be in her class. she teaches him in a way that i can't even begin to speak about. words can't describe the way she uses the Lord in her teaching. she teaches him not only about academics, but about character, and life, and changes hearts of children in the process. i am blessed to be a parent of one of her students. truly blessed!

on to lady....she is most definitely the sister of my mac. why either of us chose to get these dogs i have NO idea. :)
