1000 posts on this blog- fitting this one should be about changes around our house.

WOW- 1000 posts, I can believe it.  As usual life goes on for our little family.
 
Rocket is settling into his freshmen year of high school.  He likes football- whether he loves it or not depends on how much playing time he gets.
 
This is our band (me, Aidan and his friends) walking into the first varsity home football game.  Aidan is on the freshmen team and has to be there for volunteer hours per the coaches.

The boys- Evan, Elisha, unknown, Emmaus, Paul (black shirt) and Aidan

My handsome young man

Thursday, 12Sep, step one of our new adventure started.  Tito arrived from Italy.


Aidan (#40)  look played a game and he finally got to play in his game last week. In the first game he played 2 minutes, the next game he played 0 minutes (he was so upset), this is the third game and he played most of the game and this week he played 0 minutes again.

I have the yellow card in my face, but this is the group I sit with at Aidan's games.

last week, Aidan was also the extra point kicker.  He kicked 3 extra points.


Friday- step 2 of the changes arrived- Kalle from Finland.

Saturday- Aidan had his first Homecoming dance.  He looks so handsome.  He took Mary to HC.  She seems nice.



the boys.


the girls .L and M and Mary the girls are in order of who they went with to the dance.  L left her date as soon as they got to the dance.  M tried to run all the activities, which left a sour taste in my mouth.  Of course this was after Aidan initially asked her out, she said yes, then she said she could not go because she did not want to see one of Aidan's friends who she previously dated (they all went to school together), so Aidan started asking others to the dance, M asked a different boy and then she found Aidan his date (Mary).  I don't like her at all and I am hoping he never goes to another event with her.  All the girls were trying to make the dance all about them.  I am over this group of girls.  Maybe Aidan will go stag to the next dance and hang out with all his buddies?????
 

Kalle and Tito on the first day of school for them- Monday, 16Sep.  Almost a month after school actually started

Just a picture of Tito taking a picture of football game last Friday.

The welcome tweet from the school on the boys starting.  So cool.  the local public school has done nothing for my exchanges students in the past. The way LaSalle has welcomed these boys is fantastic.

a cool picture of the boys before the dance.
 

Tito again- he loves photography

This week's game for Aidan- 18Sep.  He played 0 minutes.  He was going to be kicking the extra points again, but the team never scored during the game.

the boy again

The freshmen football team!!!
