It's hard to believe that this boy is already in Middle School – 6th grade.  He was SO excited to go and came home thrilled every day that first week.  Slowly that has faded and he is feeling less enthusiastic about the homework and responsibilities.  But I think overall it's a good thing for him.  He moves to a different class  every 45 minutes – has 3 lockers – is playing percussion in the band – takes GT ILA (language arts) and Pre-AP Math – loves his Computer Lit teacher the most – goes to school from 8:35 – 3:35 pm – has PE everyday – has already borrowed books from his teachers (he raids their library collection) – has lots of homework every day.

Jacob is also still playing football for the Sooners – this will be his last year in rec football through the city.  He still plays the piano and seems to have a true enjoyment of it now…practicing is not as much of a chore, although sometimes hard to get in with everything he has going on.  He is also advancing well in Boy Scouts – he just received 3 rank advancements and 7 merit badges…a great start!  He's a busy guy these days, but he is enjoying it (mostly).

 
Jacob is playing noseguard this year and is amazing – he's hitting hard and very aggressive out on the field.  His coaches are always lauding him (and us) for his great play and spirited manner.  He's a great teammate – always encouraging the other guys.  He's right in the middle of the line – the one with the glove on.
