Happy Halloween!

Anna the Monster Bride and Owen as Optimus Prime. Anna brought in 6 pounds of candy! Owen, not so much. He wasn't really keen on the trick o'treating thing this year. He went around to our neighbors and was pretty much done. Anna, on the other hand, arrived home with so much, we'll-I mean, she'll be eating Halloween candy until Memorial Day. :-)

Much to my delight, Owen played soccer this fall! He kicked the ball and actually scored a few goals! I am truly a "soccer" mom now!

First day of school. Anna is now in 3rd grade and Owen is in 4 year old preschool. Boy, they grow up so fast!

Happy 8th Birthday, Anna!

Summer Fun with the cousins!

This summer has been extra special because cousins Grayson and Wyatt (and Auntie Katie and Uncle Kevin) now live in Indiana and are closer to us! We get to see them much more and have "cousin play dates" at our house and at their Nana Nancy and Papaw Bobby's in Huber Heights. Here are a few shots of the cousins (unfortunately they are never in the same shot!)

T-Ball Fun!

This summer has been an exciting one of change for our household. Anna and Owen are both playing Tee Ball at our local Rec Center. I am excited because 1)this is the first organized team sport that Owen could play (it felt like forever before he was old enough to play on one!), and 2)Anna actually showed interest in something other than gymnastics! (I'm bummed it's not soccer, though!). They seem to enjoy the game and have made lots of new friends!

Well, if you have read some of my previous posts, you are aware that my precious dog, Jake died in May. Here is a picture of him.
