Tuesday we planned to take Josh’s parents out to dinner. It was a fun time and I hope at least it helped Kathy.
But before that Josh wrote me this nice little thing on Facebook. It made me happy. It made me blush actually. So I'm preserving it for even more "public domain."
Anyway, here is my adorable children before we went to dinner. I tried to get a cute picture of Avonelle in her new outfit, but she would only make this "stink-face smile" and Traegan was doing this...
Eventually, I got him to be adorable.
Avy however, would only do this "stink-face smile".
Wednesday, September 11th started with me feeling very, very grateful for my family and our safety. I love them. I just had to say that.
It also started with Josh and I hanging out in Trae’s room and chatting when Avy came walking in the room with a book and said, “read this.” Wowser. Seriously, she is a chatty little thing.
And Trae had his first Show and Tell at school. He choose to bring his new monster that his Grandma brought him back from New York.
He also loves to take a jumping picture whenever I take his picture.
Thursday evening we had more soccer. Super fun.
Here is Traegan scoring a goal during practice. It's pretty much the only time he touches the ball so I had to get a picture.
And here is cute Av watching the game.
She was very happy when Grandma showed up to play with her.
This was DURING the game and Traegan kicked it two or three times in a row. Hallelujah. This is some serious improvement! The rest of the game he did his usual, interpretive dance moves and running up and down the field past the ball. But this was a glimmer of actually playing. :)
Avy was thoroughly enjoying her orange slices.
And here is Trae doing a throw in. He is just so wonderful!
After the game we took Owen to our house to play while Jettsen had his game. Traegan and Owen invented a new game where Avonelle wore a bucket on her head, they called her a monster and poked her in the bucket with swords and bats. It was fairly hilarious. But I did put a stop to it once I realized they were hitting her.
But she was still having fun chasing them.
My kids are LOVING their new neighbors. :) And so are we.
