September 2013

It's been a long time since our last post.  We'll try not to late that happen again.  September was busy and fun.  Katie had her first day of 1st grade, Peter had his 1st day of pre-school, and Nancy had what seemed like her first day alone at the house.


Our young lady is ready for her first day of elementary school.


This is Katie's first grade class.  The teacher, Ms. Smith, is standing up behind her.  The boy sitting across from Katie told his Mom last year that he wants to marry Katie.


Peter at his preschool's playground.  Unfortunately, the playground is scheduled to be torn down later this month.  This represents the joy and happiness today, full of promise for many more happy days, quickly and bitterly being destroyed tomorrow.  He's destined to become a Caps fan.


Yeah, he's going to miss the playground.


Our lil' artist.  Actually, he usually just likes to cover the entire page with a color.


Scooterin' around the neighborhood.


The Hess trucks now have helicopters.  This one is a hand-me-down from Theo.


Katie gets involved while wearing skates.


Fun with play-doh

Telling secrets on the playground after school


Peter isn't so sure about his first day of preschool.


Hmm... how can I get out of this?


Do I really have to go?


The first day wore Peter out.


Peter not only lives on the edge, he sleeps on it too.


Peter and Daddy dress alike...


...and make silly faces.




Peter also likes to dress like Mommy.

Sharkboy!


A good place for a nap.

Katie is ready for her first soccer game.

Theo gives it a shot


Katie uses a spoon instead.  She's the practical one.


This looks like it'll end in a mess.


Quiet time.

Peter's rollercoaster at a nearby park.  He loved it but it made Nancy a little nervous.
