Let' the games begin...

Well, David is officially a soccer player. I had held out for a bit longer than most, but he is really having a great time! When we got home from getting our gear, he couldn't wait to try it on- he just looks so old here!

What every afternoon looked like until the time change...who do you think is having the most fun? I really can't be sure:)First practice

First Game

Hey- I know that guy on the other team! It was a little confusing to play AGAINST each other:)David and Cal


and just in case you wondered what Dawson was doing...

Yep- when he is not sitting in his Scooby Doo chair yelling "Big kick! Go David!" he'll find a hill and roll down (as seen above) or jumping off bleachers or kicking his own ball next to the field.
We have LOVED soccer, but will probably wait until next fall to play again...stay tuned for spring baseball:).

We LOVE Otter Creek

I love this school. I love that my boys are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful place. I love that they get so excited about school. I love that I have memories of playing on this very same playground. I love that those memories include my boys' classmates' parents. I love that many of my teachers are still at this school. I love that my nephews are a part of this legacy too. I love that David will be the last Kindergarten class in that sweet white house. I love that Dawson will be the first four year old class in the new building since I was the first four year old class in the "new addition" where they are now. Most of all I love the people that are with my boys everyday and how they are teaching them that they are loved and wonderfully made by God.

Dawson on his very first Snoopy Day...he has been going with me for 2 years taking David and this year he finally got to get out of the car too:)! We didn't get a picture with Miss Julie and Miss Jeannie, but he sure does love them!

David's Snoopy Day...with Miss Faye! He absolutely adores her and he is learning so much this year!

Ubiquitous front porch first day of school picture:)

Dawson's first time to be able to get up front in the line.
