Poor Blog

The poor blog has been neglected lately. Days go by and life happens. I load and unload the dishwasher, make lunches, make dinner, do endless loads of laundry, drive to school, sit at pick-up, chase dogs and pick up after little boys. That is my life and I love it.  I will try to do better, but I don't promise. Here are my 2 favorite pictures recently.

Yes, Ryan is holding a flaming torch. We had a little campfire and roasted marshmallows with our cousins Friday night. It turned into Ryan setting things a-flame.

Last week Will received the Gold Medal award at his school. I think it's kind of like Citizen of the Month or something like that. I think you can only get one medal per year. Pretty big deal. We were all so proud of him!

September

Well, it's finally September. I feel like August was the longest month of my life. Maybe it was the heat. This is just a quick recap of what all we've been doing.

Will started Cub Scouts and it has been lots of fun so far. The trip all 4 of us made to the Scout Store was hilarious and I am still battling with all those patches to get them to stay on Will's scout shirt. Our pack already has a camping trip planned for this weekend.

Ryan started soccer and loves it. He does great at practice listening and following directions. His first game is this Saturday.

We had a nice Labor Day weekend. We got to visit with lots of family and the boys spent a couple nights with my parents while JW and I enjoyed some time alone. We ate lunch alone after church and it felt very weird. We just sat there for a few minutes, like, okay what do we do now? But, we quickly acclimated ourselves. We enjoyed a night out Sunday night and attended a party at one of JW's former co-workers.

And, that's about it.  I hope all of you out there in Blogworld are doing well and enjoying your September.
