If there was one picture that best captures this past week it might be this one.  Umbrellas. Oh it has rained and rained and rained.  

But even in the rain, John Paul manages to win the Star Student award :)  This boy.  A - MAZ - ING!

We are also stoking our new game addiction: Farkle.  The big kids have been playing tons of Dutch Blitz, but the little guys are Farkle-crazy.

It's pretty hilarious.  Luke is a risk taker.  John Paul's dice-rolling is aerobic exercise.  We all have a lot of fun, and I'm thankful for a game-loving family.

But we can't play games all day long, and these girls are getting their work done on the school porch too.  At least, most days they are getting it done!  ha!

And one last pic from this last week.

Check out his shoes :)
