October

I feel like I haven't posted anything in while, but nothing much has been happening except a lot of raining in Michigan and we've all been fighting off a wicked cold for over 2 weeks. We are all feeling much better and today the sun even peeked out for a bit during Sam's soccer game! Here's some pics of what we've been up to besides wiping up snot and disinfecting the house...
Sam continues to LOVE kindergarten. The boy who used to HATE to color suddenly can't get enough of crayons!

Last weekend Grandma Ellen from Tennessee and Aunt JoJo from Detroit came to visit. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperative and Sam's soccer game got cancelled. So instead, we took them to Crane's Orchard to experience the awesome food and atmosphere. I think we passed our nasty colds onto them, but it was still good to spend time together!

Sam's class went to the Farmer's Market this week and I joined them as a helper. It was the perfect field trip...short and sweet, but COLD!

The fun part about teaching at the same school that Sam attends is that I can pop into his classroom once in a while during my break to experience some of their fun activities. Here is Sam reading with his 5th grade Reading Buddy for the first time.

It was a classic fall day today at Sam's soccer game. Didn't get very many good action shots that weren't blurry, so here's the best of the bunch...




Carter and Grandpa Ron had fun playing peek-a-boo

Could this be the last tractor ride of the year? The rain finally stopped so Brian was anxious to mow the jungle. Sam, of course, had to help!
