Football Season

Sorry it has been so long.  Football has started and my life got crazy.  Things that have happened in the last few weeks:

1. 4 day trip to Alpena.  It was a very peaceful, yet wet vacation.  I would rather go up there then spend a ton of money on Florida, California, etc.  You feel God's presence when you are sitting by the lake at 6 am. 

2.  The start of football season.  After watching our intersquad scrimmage, Ayla told me she noticed we passed the ball more than last year.  Is that a good thing Ayla?

3.  Ayla performing in a play her summer preschool program put on.  She was awesome!!!  Her one line in The Hungry Caterpillar was, "I'm one apple!!!!"  I think the funniest part was Elanor repeating her by saying "I want an apple!!!"  Or the fact that Elanor made us watch the recording of Ayla's play over, and over, and over. She loves her sister. 

4. Elanor finally getting the hang of riding her bike so we don't have to push her now.  She is a character.

5. Sofia is in the climbing stage.  Climbing up the stairs with no one watching.  Climbing on the back of the couch with no one watching.  Is she trying to tell me I need to pay more attention to her?

6. The passing of Uncle Rick.  What a blessing it was to spend a Sunday with him at the Tigers game last month.  I am glad I got to share a special day with him before he got to see Aunt Susie, Grandma and Grandpa Stark, Gunk, Mrs. Sparks, my Dad, and God all up in heaven. 

That's it.  Kept it short today.  Only a few more weeks until Ayla and Elanor are back to school.  I can't wait!!!
