Back to School!

Holden's backpack is bigger then him!
Holden and next door neighbor Ashley are in the same class!

My handsome 6th grader!

Off the jr. high!!

The boys started school Aug 10, (crazy I know!!) at public school for the first time. Griffin absolutly loves his middle school and jumps out of bed every morning to go. He's lovin not wearing a uniform for the 1st time ever and is making new friends and adjusting reaaly well so far. Holden's new school is walking distance from our house and got into the same 4th grade class as our next door neighbor Ashley. He's missing his old school and friends, :( , and having a harder time adjusting. We are praying for a happy 2010 school year!

It's his 1st year playing and he's on a team with 11, 12, and 13 years olds. His dedication has really impressed us. Games start in mid Sept.... go Warriors!!

Baby Will

We have a new blessing in our family! Our nephew Will was born healthy and happy and came came down for his 1st visit to California when he had just turned 2 months. He is the sweetest, cutest, chubbiest, calmest lil guy, we just went crazy for him! Cooper and Caelie were gentle and sweet to him, and Griffin and Holden just adored their 1st boy cousin! We can't wait to see him again in late Sept. when we vacation in Sequoia and spend Christmas in Seattle with him and Mei Mei!
