Thursday evenings look something like this...
he had soccer training
then we went over to the park to hang for a bit
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.

255/365 - Saturday, September 12th

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!

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!

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.
