Random Wandering

Just some random pictures from our recent past. This is from Rece's first day of school. How bad is it that I am just now posting these? Rece is for the most part enjoying school this year. He's having kind of a hard time with his teacher, and truthfully, I am still waiting to be wowed by her. I feel bad for him, because up until now he has had such good experiences with his teachers. We keep encouraging him to find things that he likes about her, and this wonderful kid actually comes home and tells me things that he has found that he likes. How can we ask for more?

Here we are experimenting with the dual view on my camera. My kids love to have their pictures taken. Me...not so much.

Look how beautiful Rece's skin tone is. I think I look pale and chalky. Get some sun girl!

We have made a couple of trips to RediCare recently. Rece was bitten by a spider. His arm was really swollen from his elbow down to his fingertips. It was his right arm and he struggled for a few days trying to do homework because he could hardly bend his fingers. Antibiotics did the trick after a couple of days.

About a week later, we were back at the doctor having Meg's chin stitched up after she fell backward off of one of our kitchen chairs while eating lunch. We're still unsure of how she cut her chin, because she was lying on her back when I got to her. All I know is there was alot of blood. It took every ounce of my willpower not to pass out. I didn't...and I think that was a first for me. We got her to the doctor and it took four people to hold her down while the doctor stitched her up with three stitches. After the fact she was pretty proud of her wound and gladly showed it off to everyone she could.

These pics are more recent. We are still playing soccer. It has been so busy. Ryan is still coaching both boys. Zach's practices are Tuesday night, Rece's games are Wednesday night, Rece's practices are Thursday night, and Zach's games are on Saturday afternoon. Whew! I finally understand the term "soccer mom".
