Chatting with Santa

The kids got to chat with such a sweet Santa today.  After photos, he wished them a Merry Christmas and told them he loved them.  And the photographer graciously gave us lots of shots!

First Day of School

The kids are going to a brand new school this year.  Ian will be in the 3rd grade and Calla is a Kindergartner!  Despite going to a new school, the kids just wanted me to drop them off rather than walking them to their classrooms.  Good thing I'd gotten to see their classroom and meet their teachers the prior week.  Such independent kids!

Family Camp

Well, this Family Camp will go down in history.  It started out great but on the 2nd day, Ian fell out of a tree and broke his arm and dislocated his elbow.  After a trip to 2 ER's, we headed home to recover.  A few days later we were able to return to camp with a new green cast for everyone to sign!  Ian promptly gave the tree a good kick and we got back in the swing of camping.

County Fair time

We had a great day in the sun at the County Fair. Ian rode some of the scariest rides!  Calla was a little more reserved which is good since she's often tall enough for rides that are just too scary for her still.

Crawdads

While we were camping, the boys went out and caught some crawdads for dinner and we all got a chance to hold one.

Hops games

We love going to Hops games and are crossing our fingers for a third championship in a row.  A 3 Pete.  Get it?  Yeah, neither does anyone else...
