Soccer Season Starts Soon

As you can tell John is quite excited about soccer this season.  8-)  He is so grateful he is on a team with his friends Nathan, Ian and Josiah.  The other boys dads are coaching too.  The girls friend Lillan is on John's team as well, but luckily they have practice at the same time and games at the same time too.  It is going to be a fun season.  And as always Dad can't get out of coaching, so he is co-coaching with another dad for the girls team.  They love it.  The only hard part and good part is that both teams are playing almost every game at the same time.  8-)  The fields are right next to each other, but that means my head is going to look like I am watching a tennis match. Hey Dr. Chiropractor...I think I am going to need an appointment this season.  8-)

Our Fall Harvest

This is our "farm" (as the neighbors like to call it).  We decided to do all corn this year.  There was a lot going on at our house when it was time to plant, so we decided to try our hand at corn again.  They said it couldn't be done.  But, look at this corn!

We had some with our meal the other night.  It was delicious!This corn is especially special.  It reminds us of my wonderful father-in-law who was the most amazing guy when it came to growing a crop.  This crop is in honor of him.  We happened to plant the corn the morning he past away (before we found out).  So, it was very memorable when we ate it.  We thought of him the whole time.  I think that must be why we did so well!  He taught us well!  Thanks Wes! 

NY vacation- New York City

Ok, so I have tried three times to put the pictures of our New York City part of the trip on here...and it has failed all three times.  So, I guess I am not suppose to put them on here or something!  Anyway, it was a fun end to our trip and if someday I actually have time to try and add them I will.  But, for right now...I don't. 8-)  So, the whole trip was a great experience and we sure needed it!  Stay tuned for new blog updates on homeschooling and other things that are going on in our lifes.  8-)
