I got a call at school this afternoon from the principal of his school. She said he'd been punched on the playground and chipped his tooth. I of course thought the worst. I went over to see and it wasn't as bad as I expected. We go to the dentist next Friday. Hopefully he'll just smooth it out. He was a bit upset by the event - happened on the basketball court at recess.

Ballet day! I went home with a major headache, then picked up Allison early and hung out before heading to ballet class.

Bill has a class on Thursdays this fall.
The sun is setting noticeably earlier actually making it easier to get the kids to bed.

They were up early and dressing all in their Buckeye gear...did they win mom? Is what I woke up to. Nope, they lost to USC. Oh man, do we have to change? LOL.
They crack me up.

Soccer game #2 of the season. She rocked! I guess it helps to have a big brother - and go to like a million soccer games before you ever start playing! On the other hand...she is going to be a ballerina - well at least take Pre-Ballet. She is SO thrilled. We went today to get the specific stuff we needed!
254/365 - September 11
I had to search the TV to find anything on tonight about September 11th. I did find on the History channel 102 Minutes That Changed America. Wow, it was intense! 8 years ago I was teaching 2nd grade at Wright Elementary School in Fairborn, Ohio. I watched CNN constantly for the hours I was home for the days and weeks that followed. She had her first soccer game of the season tonight. 9/11 is something that has and will affect their lives even though they didn't live through the experience (he was almost 1 - she was years away from being born). Just think about the numerous ways our country has changed since then - big and small!
253/365 - September 10
Sometimes Kindergarten + LaPetite for the afternoon is just too much. She fell asleep after school today BEFORE dinner!
250/365 - September 7
Labor Day! Yay, no school. We are always extra tired at the start of the school year just trying to get back in the swing of things. Went over to visit with Grandma on our day off while Daddy golfed.
249/365 - September 6

She found the dress she wore in Aunt Tracy's wedding 3 years ago - still fits, just shorter!

We are getting into the heart of soccer season. Made a trip to Troy today for his game. It was a fun one - we won!
244/365 - Hello September
Off to practice tonightthe boys to CUSA Courage

214/365 - August 2nd - Animal Kingdom
What a day! We started off with the safari - which was way cool! We walked right in and back to the safari and got right on - no wait! It was really well done and the kids really enjoyed it. We saw the Nemo musical - air conditioned! It was very fun and the kids were enchanted. One of the favorites of the day was the "It's tough to be a bug!" - little movie under the Tree of Life complete with 3d glasses, wind, being sprayed, etc. Morgan's favorite of all was the Mount Everest ride. He and Bill rode it twice in a row with the fastpasses I got! Allison favorite ride was the Triceratop spin. We saw several characters Mickey, Minnie, + Donald, plus Flick + a little Gorilla. We ate lunch in Asia and had yummy fried rice and other things, then snacked on some Mickey ice cream while we waited for the parade. We had awesome seats and the kids really loved the parade. We headed back to the condo after the parade and cooled off the in pool! Now, to bed early to prepare for a full day of Magic Kingdom!

More travel + arrival!We continued the 15+ hour road trip bright and early this morning. Our Super 8 had a little breakfast set up complete with a waffle maker. Mmmmm. The kids opted for powered donuts!?! We were on the road and cruising along by 7am. Since we stayed in Dalton, GA we still had a large part of Georgia to travel through, then Florida! The kids continued to ride with my parents today so Bill and I jammed to tunes on XM and chatted - well he did sleep while I drove. We arrived at the condo around 4:00pm. Whew, made it and it feels like Florida - even if we're not at the beach.
We unpacked and checked out the condo grounds. Pretty cool! The kids are looking forward to actually swimming in the pool tomorrow after Animal Kingdom.

A day of travel...
We ended up leaving a bit ahead of schedule and were on the road by 12:40! The kids both elected to ride with my parents most of the way. We traveled to Dalton, GA which is about 1/2 of the 15 hour trip to the Orlando, FL area from our house in Ohio. The kids were troopers. I enjoy the drive. I just wish we could have stopped to take a few good pics in the mountains with the fog, etc.
Heading south...
Today we are leaving for Florida and our Disney vacation! Bill's golfing this AM and Morgan has his last day of soccer camp. Allie and I are going to pack the car and double check everything. My parents should arrive a little after noon then we're heading south I-75 most of the way! Here's a little photo from our last visit!
211/365
More vacation preparations - we leave TOMORROW! Bill and the kids washed the car, mowed the grass, and got the outside looking great. I packed both kids and my bags - I still need to double check - make sure I didn't forget someone's underwear - picked up around the house, did laundry, etc. I actually have the kids car stuff already in the car. I emptied both memory cards for my D60 and coolpix so they are ready to capture all the Disney goodness. These are pics from the last two times we went as a family. (Jan 04 + Dec 05) I'm excited to experience it with them now. I think.... he's going to be all about the rides + she'll be all about the princesses!
