Goodbye to the Good 'Ole Summertime...
The World Series is over and it's time to hang up the Wiffle Ball bat. Sure had a great time pretending the yard was an MLB stadium where Connor, Graeme, Owen, Reilly and even Pierce could be Willie Mays, Albert Pujols, Cal Ripken, Babe Ruth.....

... and Hello Autumn
Pierce posing with the fall posies.

Too Cool for MIDDLE School!
Graeme is doing a great job making the transition to 6th grade. He's tossed out uniforms, made new friends, memorized his locker combination, tried school lunch for the first time, and is bringing home nothing but A's. We are so proud!

Go Thunder!
Owen is leading the charge on his soccer team this fall. The Thunder has already locked up the county title in the top boys U9 division and are looking to close out their undefeated season in just two more games. Way to go OJO.

Hey Good Lookin'!
Connor brought home his 7th grade school picture yesterday and it's just not fair! Aren't you supposed to look like a geek in 7th grade?
