a quick update - 09/22

Josh got Isaac's first day of school pictures done up for me today. I love them! Isaac picked out his first day shirt all by himself - "Beware of Bear Hugs", it says - perfect for Isaac.
He was so darn excited to go back to school!
And Josh got a great sequence of jumping pictures when he asked Isaac "What does the first day back to school feel like?"
And Levi's just getting better and better with those wonderful little hands. He liked this crinkly crab yesterday, working hard to grab it...
yummy crab legs!
And everyone else is doing great too. Ruth and Zech are getting back in the swing of going to school every day - Zech for full days this year, which he is loving!
Ruth and Isaac are doing dance classes again this year (and after a week of discussing and calling and emailing, we've decided to stay with the same studio we've been with), Zech is doing karate, and they all have swimming lessons - which are starting up this week, tomorrow for Isaac and Friday for the older 2 (with our school).

Last Friday we decided to tag along when the kids went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. We'd been there 2 years ago and the kids had a ton of fun. Last year we wanted to go again, but the weather (rain, hail, wind) ruined the crops and things so their "open season" was shorter than normal. So we wanted to make sure to get in one good visit this year. We packed the cooler and drove with Isaac and Levi, followed the bus the whole way, and went around with the older kids. They loved having their younger brothers along! It was neat for Isaac, too, because all the Kindergarten kids this year were his nursery school friends last year, so he knew them all and liked spending the morning with them all.
Now we're just hoping for a decent weekend day - either one, doesn't matter - and we're going to make another trip up there, just our family. The kids could have spent all day there running and playing, so we want to go back and let them have all the fun they can soak up!

And that's about it for now - or at least all I can think of at nearly midnight. It's busy and wonderful days here!
