First Year of Soccer

JT played his first season of soccer this Fall.  We were hesitant to start so early, but he had shown an earnest desire and would kick a ball around the house for an hour.  He was one of the smaller kids on the team but gave a valiant effort.  He was not one of the "stars" but he certainly did hustle!  I guess we will be in for another round in the Spring!



Andrew did really well during practices and games.  He would sit in his chair or play along the sidelines.

 

Birthday Season

We celebrate birthdays from the middle of September until the middle of October.  I (mom) am lucky to celebrate my birthday alone in the month of January.  This year was the year of cakes.  Both Joshua and Andrew's cakes had me stressing how they would turn out until the very end.  They LOVED their cakes and I could not have bought anything they liked better!  It was a joyful time as we celebrated 3, 38, and 5 years!!

3 years 9/19

38 years 9/26

5 years 10/16

First Day of Preschool 2010

 Andrew was not so excited about the start of school this year because he did not understand why Joshua was staying home. He goes on Tuesday and Thursday from 9-12 and gives me the opportunity to run errands or spend more uninterrupted time with Joshua on his school.

He used the special day plate for lunch.  For some reason, this motivates the kids!

Habitat - one HOT Saturday in August

It was a hot day, but thankfully we had plenty of water and every so often, God sent us a little shade cloud!  Our college/career class volunteered to help on truss day.  I had no idea what a truss was before this, but now I am intimately acquainted!  It was hard work, but very fulfilling.  Habitat for Humanity is a great organization and I would strongly recommend it for any of your charitable giving (or volunteer time!).
