Time to hit the books, and the road!

Julian (sophomore) and Jake (4th grade) started back to school again today. Jesse did too! Jesse missed kindergarten by 13 days, so we are "homeschooling" him, in our own kind of way. He learned how to write the letter "J" today. At this rate, he will be taking Advanced Placement classes next year.

A lot happened this summer...a quick update…from oldest to youngest...

Julian (JT) received his learner's permit and Theresa and I are doing parent-taught driver's ed. He will have his license about one week after his 16th birthday on January 25, 2009. Look out Cedar Park!...

"So was I supposed to stop at that red light?"

Jake is now playing football. He is the tailback and it is fun to watch him take the option pitch around the corner for a touchdown...

"When my helmet goes on, my smile goes away."

Jesse missed beginning Kindergarten by about 13 days. His birthday is Sept. 13. He is so ready to start, but will be a good helper with Kai. He is also our little comedian. When we told him to stop doing something yesterday, he said "Daddy you're not the boss of me, Jesus is!"…

"Anyone seen my skatebord?"

For our little 6-month old, we found out that the name Kai means, "He who holds the keys to the kingdom." This is very true since Kai is so often in charge at our house The big news from Kai…he is eating Stage 1 food!...


"Saving a little for later."

And every once in awhile, we're able to get everybody in the same place at the same time...

Theresa and her men.
