Firsts for the Metcalfe's

Peyton loves to climb on the couch and cuddle with her brother. I love it!

Brayden's first soccer practice

Picking his apple

They were "buddies" on the field trip and couldn't let go of each other. They loved that

This year has a lot of "firsts" for our family. Brayden started pre-school this year and just loves it. I love his teacher, we can tell Brayden is learning so much, and loves to learn about Jesus everyday. He is definitely a child who learns from watching other kids learn so school has been fantastic for him.
Along with school, another first was his first field trip! It was to the Apple Orchard and I was able to go along. How fun to see their excitement about picking apples, and just being somewhere with their new friends. I was glad I was able to go and see things from his eyes. He now feels like he's an expert on picking apples and eating them:)
Another first is a sport! Brayden is signed up to play soccer this fall at the YMCA. He had his first practice last week and loved it. (After he got over his initial cry fest because the ball wouldn't go where he wanted it to:). This is so fun for him as he's been watching his older cousins now for awhile do sports and couldn't wait to get "bigger like daddy" so he could play too. I'm sure more updates on soccer to come as the year progresses.
One other first this season is Travis going back to school. He is going to UW Tacoma to get his MBA. This is something he's wanted to do for a long time and now the timing was right. It's going to be hard on us as we won't see daddy as much, but we are excited for him to start and finish as quickly as he can:) I was able to go to his school orientation a few weeks ago and it was just weird to be back on campus again. A good weird though. I'm sure we'll be taking many trips to downtown Tacoma to visit daddy at school. That's enough firsts for now, but I'm sure are more to come:)
