Welcome Baby Lucas

Last Thursday, the geese and the deer were coming!

We walked the twins to school.  

Company picnic.  

After school, the kids wanted to play.

We had high school back to school night.  We were early, these halls were packed the rest of the night.  It was actually a lot of fun meeting the teachers and running from class to class.  Aden's classes always seem to be far from each other.  

The principal welcomed us.  

We know Aden's science teacher.  Amy grew up with her.  

Amy had Aden's social studies teacher when she was in school!  It's the first time he's had children on former students and he has 5 this year.  He was so excited!

Good night Emo.  

On Friday morning, we got a wonderful surprise!  Our trainer sent us a picture of beautiful baby Lucas! He was born on the 4th on his due date.  That's all we know and it's now over a week later!

After school, the twins rested in front of the tv.  

I was determined to make bacon jam smash burgers.  I started with the bacon jam.  

Eli and Vicky went for a ride while I was cooking.  

Smash!  They came out really good!

They rode late into the night.  

The Eagles played that night in Brazil against the Packers.  

It was a weird game to watch.  The Eagles weren't allowed to wear green for various strange reasons.  The field was wet and everyone kept slipping.  The lead went back and forth.

The Eagles won!  Have a great weekend!

 

First Day of School

Last Tuesday was the first day of school for Ariel and the twins.  First, we had to get up really early to get Ariel to the bus stop at 7:30.  She had never taken a bus to school before.  She was nervous but we got some nice smiles.  

Here she is with her giant backpack and her lunch box.  

Here's the bus!

Have a great day baby!

Then we had to get the twins ready.  

All the kids and lots of parents gathered together.  

The boys were quiet but they were ready to go.  

It was a bit chaotic but it's really sweet.  

Ariel's old teacher Mr. Murphy does this pic every year.  

The principal put us to work. We carried the new tables to the new picnic area.  

Aden helped Ariel carry her bag home.  Such a sweet brother.  lol.  She was a little shell shocked about school but she was still smiling.  

Then the twins came out.  

All the parents form our street were waiting.  

The kids all seemed happy about school and started playing.  

The play continued to Vicky's house.  

Last Wednesday, Aden got a ride from the neighbor at 7.  I then walked with Ariel to the bus at 7:30.  I made both their lunches.  

There they go!

After school, Ariel wanted to go to Staples to get some more supplies.  

Noah had his first soccer practice.  

It went pretty well.  We know the coach.  

Sunset!

Team green this time.  

Happy Noah.  

Back to school night at the elementary school.  I went to one class.  Amy to the other.  Then we switched.  This was the first time in years we only had 2 at the school.  All the teachers seemed really good.
