9/25 update from mom

Hi, Jenna! It was really nice to hear your voice and hear all about your exciting adventures! Can't wait for the next call.

I went to the girls' soccer games today. They played Sammamish. JV almost pulled it out, but Sammamish won 3-2. I saw Krista score a goal in the second half (missed the first goal). Varsity lost 0-2. Lots of folks asked about you. Anne gave me a letter to mail to you. Hopefully, you'll get it in Cape Town. Mackenzie says "hi" and asked how you were doing.

Speaking of soccer, I saw Erik play last weekend. This is his first year. He has some good moves. Kira wanted to jump in and coach -- she saw lots of things she wanted them to do.

Kira started BCC this week! She sounds excited.

Seahawks pulled out the win in the last minute, 24-21. Alexander has a broken hand, but will continue to play. I didn't actually see the game, so can't give you any details.

Top Chef: Sara got kicked off last week. It's down to Casey, Brian, Dale and Hung.

It's been pretty cold for Sept. Lots of spiders outside. In fact, two are hanging about eye level at the front door. I've almost run into them a few times. Too bad they won't still be there for Halloween.

The puppies miss you! They've been enjoying their walks every day. Had to go to the vets today since I'm going to visit Grandma and Papa. Chloe knew what was going on about 5 miles away. She hid on the floor of the passenger side until I dragged her out. Emma even jumped back in the car when she realized where she was! They have three 10-week old pug puppies -- so cute! And, a few French or English bulldogs (not sure which) -- not as cute as pug puppies. I'll take a picture of the puppies and post when I get back.

Love you! Be sure to use your water wand for one full minute so you don't get sick again. And, use your sunscreen! Talk to you soon!

Love,
Mom
