Our Little "Helpers"

 The kids all decided they wanted to "help" Daddy pack. He was very happy to actually have time to pack compared to the 10 minute grab last time. I think the kids loved looking through Daddy's candy stash! We are sure going to miss Daddy again. It seemed like he was hardly home from his last trip and now he is off again.

Josh's Adventures

Here are some pictures Josh took last month while he was away working.

2011 World Championship Marathon

Josh was able to watch the Women's World Championship Marathon while he was away. So cool!

Here are a few videos he took also.

Sunset Walk on the Seawall

The other night after dinner we went down to the seawall to walk around. The seawall is only 5 minutes from our house so it is the perfect place to go for a walk. The kids love going so they can collect more seashells. We have really enjoyed the week that Josh has been home. We are all pretty bummed he is leaving again this week.

(Just want to make sure everyone knows you can click on the pictures to see them bigger!)

Sweetest Little Boy

I still can't believe my baby boy is 3. He is just the sweetest little thing!

Carson & Cooper's 1st Week of School

Carson and Cooper had a great first week of school. There were a few bumps, but they really seem to have fun. I think the biggest change was the size of the school. Their old school was very small, only 3 classes per grade. At their new school there are 11 1st grade classes and 8 2nd grade classes. However, the class size here is really small which is awesome. Cooper class has 18 kids and Carson's has 20. We got a letter from Carson's old teacher and she said she has 32 students, yikes.
Both boys had PE, Art, Music, Spanish, Japanese and Library. I think this is going to be a great school year for both of them!

Just checking in

A few people have emailed and asked if we are ok. Yes, we are great. This week has been busy with the boys first week of school. Trying to figure out our new schedule and get back into our school time routine. Also, Josh came home on Monday night. We have been spending as much time with him as we can. He leaves again next week. I will have a few new posts up later this weekend.
