Also, I have started a beginners sewing class. I just have a few basics left to get and then I can get started. Clare has started a 2 day a week preschool (Tues/Thurs) at the Keller Methodist Church. It's called Building Blocks. She has 2 teachers & there are 14 total 3 year olds in her class. She goes from 9:15-2:15. She absolutely loves it! Clare also started soccer this week. Her practice is on Wednesday & her games are on Saturdays for the next 6 weeks. Another thing she is super excited about. She continues with ASI gymnastics on Wed. mornings and will start back up with swim lessons in October on Mon. afternoons.
