September 2014

In September the kids started school, we camped out in the backyard, and Katie was obsessed with blowing bubbles.


Playing with legos




Katie's latest obsession -- blowing bubbles.


Katie's first day of Second Grade!


Katie in her classroom.  Her teacher is Ms. Wines.


Meanwhile... back at home, Peter has no one to play with now that Katie is in school.


Katie added play-doh to my eyeglass frames.


Peter's week got off to a rough start when he fell in the playground at Katie's school.

Cape Cod 2014

In August we had another nice week on Cape Cod.  Nancy and Sue ran the famous Falmouth Road Race for the first time.  It's a beautiful and scenic race along the shore and features some of the most famous names in racing like Joan Benoit-Samuelson.  The kids had fun on the beach, in the pool, playing putt-putt, and running around with their cousins.

Finished!

Katie flies a kite and plays golf at the same time.  I'd like to see Tiger try that.

Hanging out with Theo


Ready... set...


Go!










One day we ventured over to a beach on the bay side to look for sand dollars.  The beach was huge but the sand dollars were nowhere to be found.


Movie night


They are completely incapable of sleeping parallel to each other.

Goodbye Cape Cod!  Thanks for a great week.
