School Time!

AJ is in Young 5's kindergarten this year and LOVES it. He asks every day if it's Field Trip day yet. He's counting until the apple orchard trip.

Erin and I go to storytime each Wednesday at the library. The first time she looked at everybody like they were nuts, but she got into it eventually.

AJ and Erin got two new cousins in the past two weeks, Brady Patrick (Nancy & Andy) and William Matthew (Kristy & Matt). We got to see Brady for a few minutes when he was born, but we haven't seen Will yet. Tomorrow we go to Grand Rapids for a visit.

Matt's been in Mexico again this week and I'll be happy when he's back home :)

I will figure out the Picasa albums site again and post recent pics. Mom Ply took a cool one of Matt and I tubing with the kids, so we've got to get that out there.

I'm a little sad the past couple days because Jess and Tom's move to Michigan is postponed again until April. I miss my sister dearly. It's just not the same talking on the phone. It just isn't.

Love to everybody.

As Summer Goes...

Labor Day weekend was spectacular. The weather was perfect for our last boating weekend. AJ was out there like a crazy man. And, suprisingly, Erin got on a tube with me and liked it a lot! I wasn't sure what her reaction would be. She was a trooper as AJ and Matt bumped us and the spray was in her face and we crossed the wake. AJ and Matt dumped me off my tube more than a few times and AJ laughed hysterically the whole ride.

I'm sad that this part of summer is over.

AJ started Young 5's Kindergarten today. His teacher is nice and he had a great day there. Also, a friend of AJ's from the gym is in his class, so she was excited to see AJ in class.
