The first full week of school is just about over and almost everyone has survived it. Joshua is home this afternoon because he got in trouble at recess. There's a plan to deal with it in the future and the vice principal said something about Josh that totally made my day. I would rather Joshua not get into trouble at all but since that's probably not going to happen, it's great to know that he's being dealt with by someone who genuinely likes him.

Fall baseball/softball season has started. Matthew had his first practice on Tuesday and Em has hers tonight. And Em got on my friend Bobbie's team, so I'm happy :-)

I'm getting my new (to me) lens on Tuesday and I'm super excited. I kinda wish I was going to have it for my family session tomorrow though. Oh well.

And I'll end with a few pictures of Matthew, since he almost never lets me take pictures of him-unless he's making goofy faces. My sweet boy.......

1st Day!

Everyone survived the 1st day of school with no problems :-) They all like their teachers-well, Em isn't so sure about her Lang. Arts teacher but we'll see how it goes. They all have friends in their classes. And the only one with homework today is me. All the "update" forms that need to be filled out.

Joshua, 1st grade



Matthew, 5th grade

Week 22/52

I am NOT ready for a teenager. {Sigh} It's creeping up on me though. She's almost as tall as me now-another 4 or 5 inches. And she's loving that.
