Sunday Mornings

Don't we look nice?

We've been offline for a few months... But life has been busy, and we'll play a little catch up game to get back in the swing of things. Here's what's been going on:

Mary:
- took a trip with Mom to see the Blakesleys in Utah
- started kindergarten.
- will read long words, unless Mom is watching
- turned 6 years old.
- lost 4 teeth
- Played on her first t-ball team, and is finishing another round of ballet this week

Ben:
- still loves the world's finest preschool twice each week
- turned 4 years old.
- took a trip just with Dad to Gma and Papa Blakesley's
- rides a bike named "Major Damage"
- teaches Will to copy everything he does
- played on his first indoor soccer team

Will:
- copies Ben... most of the time
- Talks, talks, talks
- sleeps and wakes with the words "choo-choo traian" on his lips and a Thomas book in hand
- continues to know his mind and direct the rest of us until he achieves his goal
- keeps us laughing

If you're curious about Old Mom and Dad:
they have just been working...
Dad is the world's finest dissertator, and has been presenting at conferences from here to CA, and is interviewing for jobs. He was a world-class t-ball coach this summer.
Old Mom completed calculus! Though, she is still plugging away at a few more online classes to complete her bachelor's degree, four kids in tow:)



The beach pictures are from Topsail Island, NC. We spent a Gillespie week there with 13 kids and 14 adults in one big house:) One of the best reunions, ever!
