We\u2019ve won five games and lost two. last night, Peter signed Jed and I both up for soccer. My, the seasons <strike>xxx<\/strike> pass quickly! (Actually soccer season doesn\u2019t start until September - they just had an early sign-up.)<\/p>\r\n<p>I will probably be getting a daily paper route soon. My friend, who has one, says he\u2019s going to quit pretty soon.<\/p>\r\n<p>Peter just got a really neat toy.
