Homework

The girls both came home with homework yesterday. They had to make a poster about themselves so that their classes could get to know them. Brady was going crazy wanting to make one too. This morning he and I put something together to tell everyone a little bit about him and his favorite things.

It's Like Christmas

Bethanie and Sadie had the usual level of nervous excitement for their first day of school. Bethanie said that she woke up all night long and looked at the clock, just like on Christmas eve.
I had my own reasons for feeling like the first day of school is like Christmas. ;)
Actually, I was more sad then I thought I would be when I watched the bus pull away this morning. I still have my little Brady and Wesley here to keep me company, but the three of us will miss the girls!

Showing Gratitude

I got a tap on my shoulder at 5am today.
Me: "What Brady?"
Brady: "Thank you"
Me: "Thank you?"
Brady: "Yes, Thank you."
Me: "For what?"
Brady: "For saving me from the cliff."
Me: "Oh yeah, sure. No problem. Ok, go back to bed now.
Brady: "Ok"

Sounds Good

Me: "Brady, how are you feeling?"
Brady: "I am feeling really good. In fact, if somebody tasted me they would say I was SO GOOD!"

K-Nothing like Knoebels

We had a great time at Knoebels amusement park with Sean's family. Bethanie tore it up on every roller coaster they had. Sean had a good time hitting the big rides with Bethanie. I went on one roller coaster before I needed to schedule something with a chiropractor and a physical therapist. Brady's favorite ride was the "Flying Tigers", and Sadie seemed content to do whatever her cousins were doing.
Surprisingly, we lasted until 10pm, when they closed!

For Posterity

There has to be plenty of pictures at a family reunion, (in the Poconos!). We spent a few hours bribing and begging the kids to smile and look happy. We did manage a lot of great family pictures.
By the end of the day, the adults were exhausted.

Half Marathon

Sean and his sisters decided to run a half marathon "for fun". Although I don't see the fun in it, we were sure proud of all of them!
