life

Hey all! Hope this finds you enjoying the day and having a great week.

The pic up above is from Sienna, Italy from our trip a few years ago. I was thinking about that because Jon's bestfriend, Max, is coming to stay with us!! We're very excited. He will be here over Thanksgiving which will be fun, because obviously he doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving in Italy!

Evan's leg is almost healed!! It's amazing what prayer and some burn cream can accomplish. Once he gets a little older and a little hairier you wont' see it at all.

Jon has figured out how rec. centers get parents to coach. They call and say, "Would you help the head coach out this year?" That doesn't sound so bad, so you say yes. Then you find out the "head coach" suddenly can't coach. Voila...you're the head coach! Atleast that's what's happened to Jon the last few times. Don't tell Jon, but I think it's great he's a head coach. He knows what he's talking about (unless it's soccer, that's another blog) and he's good to the kids. He actually likes them and has fun with them. They had their first flag football practice last night and Evan informed me afterwards that they were going to have the best team. Their first game is Sat. Should be wild.

Haley has decided to join the jump rope team at school. They meet once a week and learn all kinds of stunts. She's really good at jump roping. She's also participating in volleyball and soccer this fall. She has her first soccer match Saturday. That's always a kick fest. We consider it a win if no kids lose a tooth from a shoe to the face.

Sophie is fast approaching her 1st birthday!! Less than two weeks. I'm dreading it and looking forward to at the same time. Man a year went fast. Scary!!

Stay away from getting a shoe to the face....and run to flag football and soccer.
