One day we were driving in the car, and Breyer, in the spirit of Halloween floating around her school halls, asked, “What is a mummy?” Cooper quickly answered, “A piece of beef jerky in a sheet in the desert.” He had me laughing for a long time! Such is the way over here. There’s always something to laugh about.
Your grandmother read me your letter. I definitely wasn't laughing. More like crying. That you have arrived to the point you have is all that a mother can hope for. You've exceeded my expectations I didn't know I had until I heard your words. Thank you. What a gift.
Sawyer had an away football game. He had one touchdown, one interception, and one fumble he caused. I’d consider that a good game.
Cooper’s tennis team season is over. They didn’t advance after districts. And unfortunately Cooper wasn’t able to help them – he lost his match, but it was close. He’s been able to come home early this week, right after school, the first since school has begun.
I was able to watch Breyer and Miller for the first time Saturday in their soccer games. FUN! Miller did not score a goal for me. Neither did Breyer. But, Miller was poetry in motion on the field. He’s perfected a one legged slide technique of stealing a ball from his opponent, and still remains on his feet. The coach had been determined to keep him out of goalie in hopes that he would score more goals for the team, but when the opposing team went up by two, he was back in the goal box.

And now Sawyer wants to talk more sports. He loves you.
"This week I am adding a sports section. By the way it is Sawyer in case you haven't guessed.This way you won't be blind to the things happening here. First we will start with basketball. First off the Wizards and the Raptors are both undefeated an at the top of the Eastern conference. For the Western conference Rockets are at the top. Back to the Eastern conference. Gordon Hayward broke his leg in half while 6 minutes into the first quarter of their first game. The doctors say he is out for the season. This is quite a shame because the Celtics only lost to the Cav's by 3 without him which means with Hayward they would have dominated. So pretty much it is not who will win the NBA finals this year but who would have lost to the Celtics in the playoffs.
The Suns fired their head coach after losing three straight games. And finally, Lonzo Ball. The talk of schools around the U.S. Even though he lost his first game, he had a fantastic second game.Scoring 29 points, his passing ability is absolutely crazy. Also, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a career high his first game.

Now to football. At the beginning of the year the New England Patriots had a 35% chance of winning the Super Bowl. For some reason though they have not been doing all that well. Somehow they have lost two games and have only won one. Even though they are tied for first, they should be destroying not just keeping up with the competition. Also as surprising is that the Eagles are winning their conference. While the golf year has just about wrapped up, soccer is still going. The world cup next year will be held in Russia. And that is all. Maybe you might enjoy it because I don't know what else to write to you.
Oh I almost forgot. Baseball. As you might know the world series are coming up. The two
teams are the Dodgers and the Astros. The Yankees and the Astros battled all the way to game 7. With the Astros finally pulling away 4-0. The Dodgers being Dad's favorite team are looking great. Their season record was 104-58. Their playoff record was 4-2 and 3 of those games were won in a row at Dodgers stadium. The officials have the Dodgers winning the Worlds series , and I do to. This is because of their better defense, rotation of offense, and pitching. The only reason the Astros would win is because they have the first rated offense. The catch though is that L.A. is second. And that is actually all I have to say other than that Russell Westbrook is doing pretty bad this year.
Love your bigger and stronger brother,
THE Sawyer Schenewark
I didn't intend for this to be all about sports, but there you go. It is that kind of a letter.
Hunter spent the weekend in Colorado, and he'll be writing shortly. Hopefully before you get on the computer. He had a great time, but is now really behind.
Tanner enjoyed the weekend with Uncle Zach and a few of his children. Hopefully he'll write about their adventures as well.
I am back on day shift, and morning comes early. It's another adjustment.
Thank you for the thought you put into your letters. We LOVE them. We're so proud of you. Your example shines here in our house. You're our family home evening lesson every week.
Be safe.
Love,
Mom
