E's Christmas Concert

We had the privilege of attending E's band concert at his middle school one evening.  This is his first time playing in the band and his first year playing the trumpet.  It was really fun being able to see what he's been practicing for since the start of the school year.  It's pretty amazing what these kids learn in such a short amount of time.

Football Fun

Lo and I had the opportunity to go see J Man play his first football game a couple of weeks ago. It was cool to see him participating in something that he obviously enjoys. He played really good and we are proud of him.

It was super hot outside that day...like you could cut the air with a knife. So, we didn't stay for the entire game but we made it through most of it. Eventually Lo, the kidlets and I retreated to my air conditioned car while we waited for the game to finish up.

Pictured- J Man's team on the field, the siblings cheering him on, me keeping Lo cool by fanning her with Bed Bath & Beyond coupons, and the kidlets playing a game that they made up on the fly in the shade while patiently waiting out the heat.

Just Kickin' It

Recently we were able to go see one of E's soccer games.  It was fun to see his team play, they have gotten better each season.  It was really cool to watch E really "get in there", he has come a long way!

Run E, Run!
