First day of school

Before our walk to the bus stop. Kids both got off the bus later in the day saying they both had a good day! It was fun! Yeah, love to hear that!

Early morning to go to soccer games. Both had their first games of the fall season. Alyssa's team won 4-0 and John's team lost 1-5. He played the whole game and scored their only goal so he was happy about that. Didn't get a picture of Alyssa earlier so took one of her getting pushed over in the chair by her dad.

I just love my smile!

June 7, 2012 Before braces

June 7, 2012 Braces just on - of course there was no way she was going to give me a smile

August 20, 2013 Before getting braces off - now that's a smile

Big smile! Alyssa was thrilled to have her braces off! After 14 months and paying double it's nice to see such a beautiful smile! She wanted to celebrate by getting a Potbelly sub!

Kids love having a fire because they love roasting the marshmallows and eating smores!

Picked 9 1/2 lbs of blackberries and 2 lbs of blueberries. Way to many to eat over the next few days so am spending the rest of the day getting them washed and frozen so we can have "fresh" berries during the winter!

Kids now wearing the same shoe size and only a few inches and pounds apart.

Friendly game of Monopoly?
