End of the Summer

Well, it's official, all the kids are back in school, and this time they are all full time! We are now in soccer and football season, but before we do a post on that one, we need to post one about the baseball season. Baseball ended in June, with a lot of excitement. Zach was on a team that did well regular season and ended the season in 1st place. From there they went to playoffs at the top of their division, but things ended quickly leaving them in 3rd place. He was hoping to go a little further, but that is the farthest he has ever gone on a team, so at least he got that much. Tyler and Justin, on the other hand, were on a team together. Their regular season started off with a few wins, then ended with plenty of losses. Entering the playoffs, we were all thinking there was not much of a chance, but all of a sudden, they kept winning every playoff game they played, taking them all the way to the final game, where they pulled off yet another win, landing them in 1st place in their division! They carried their trophies around for days! The highlights of the season were: Tyler having a few homeruns (thanks to the opposing teams outfield), Justin had two legitimate homeruns (and a few others thanks again to the other teams fielding skills), and Zach getting his very first homerun in the big league, and I just happened to kind of catch it on video!

Back to the first day of school...it started out with our power going out the day before and not coming on till the next day at noon, so the children had half a day of school without any power! I was quite surprised the school district made the kids go, but it all worked out. The only one upset about going to school was Hayley, and that is because she was not able to have the curled hair like she had planned. She is such the tween! Anyways, everyone loves school and mom is happy to have a clean, quiet house and some time to herself!
