Let's Dance!

Today Avery and I were listening to some music and I caught this with my camera. It's just too funny not to post! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Big Guy!

Happy birthday to the coolest nine-year-old on the planet! Our little boy is becoming such a hard-working, responsible, strong young man. We watch our Zack with wonder and admiration as he sets out to make his dreams a reality. He makes good choices and loves his family and friends. He is such a blessing in our lives. Happy birthday, Bud. We couldn't be more proud of you!

We've landed on the moon!

Here's what just took place as Jay and I were cleaning up dinner in the kitchen:

Jeremy (to me): I heard a rumor that Lance Armstrong might come out of retirement.

Zack (from the dining room): How long has he been living on the moon, Dad?

First Day of Preschool

Well, it's official: our baby is growing up! Jay and I are so excited for Avery simply because she could not wait for today to finally arrive.

She hopped right up this morning in anticipation for her big day of preschool. She put up a bit of a fight over her skirt and socks, but Nonna made it work so she ended up happy again. They sure start young into that whole fashion vs comfort battle. We both won: she got the skirt she wanted and I got her to wear socks.

Ah, my sweet little princess. Whatever am I going to do every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11:30 am? Oh yeah, whatever I want...what does that mean again?

Conversation of the Day

Owen to Dad: I know what day it is. Want to know how?

Dad: Yeah, sure.

Owen: I just look at my underwear.

Jeremy: Today is (looking down as if to check his own)... Fruit of the Loom!

Summer's Last Hoorah!

Last weekend we floated the river with our great family/friends, the Hassards. We really enjoyed the warm sun, cool water, and relaxing ride. What a perfect way to end a super fun summer!

First Day of School!

Zack is a big 4th grader today and Owen is starting 1st grade! Both are super excited, but no one could be more excited to eat at school than Owen! I must admit that his Hot Wheels lunch box is pretty sweet. =)
