wrapping up September

It's October 1st, and most appropriate that I'd finish up any final September news.

Last Friday Isaac's preschool class put on a small presentation for the parents.  It was quick, simple, enjoyable.  In other words, preschool performance perfection.  [The enjoyable aspect got a big boost when our friend Amanda volunteered to watch the little two at the playground during the show!]


To embrace and enjoy local preschool is not an easy choice for Isaac.  But I am so proud of him for the major huge steps he's taken in the past month!  I couldn't believe how well he participated in this little shindig and I'm excited for his growing comfort level at school. Yay for you, Isaac!


Isaac was thrilled to see the Matt scooted in the door just in time for the show to start!


Two days after the cross country meet we jumped in to soccer.  Three Saturday mornings of one-hour practice, the fourth Saturday is a round robin tournament.  And that's the season :)  It's a coed elementary team, 12 kids ages 6 to 11.  Should be interesting to see how this one goes down.... Only the girls are old enough to play but Isaac likes to dream :)


Oh Luke, little buddy.  [Door to Isaac and John Paul's bedroom.]  But don't worry too much about Luke, the sign is not enforced!  Let it be firmly declared that the family baby is NOT to be pitied!  At least in our home, life is good for #5.


And this blessing of a picture from Lydia's teacher.  She's a gem.

October 1st brings in a new month and a big local holiday - no school for a week and all sorts of excitement.  We are taking advantage of the 'no local school' change of pace to do a few fun things  - even dreaming of a camping trip over the weekend, and the girls have a friend spending the night now and ... well, taking local school off the schedule adds a good chunk of flexibility to our days.

Awesome, Isaac. So proud of you! Love the soccer bound moped photo - Julianna's knees are almost too long for front position. And JP and Luke look forlorn even from the back side. Glad to hear the "no Luke" sign is not enforced. We love you all!
