Unprepared in Niagara Falls

A few weeks ago Bobby's college buddy (Todd) and his son (Austin) came to visit for a few days. As with any visit to our region, we had to take him to Niagara Falls. I was working that day and unable to join in the fun.

Not to make any comments about male vs. female brains, but I have to believe that if a mom were present on the trip, she would have brought some jackets for the kids. Poor boys! I think Tommy's expressions are the funniest....

Catching Up- As Usual...

Well, here I am again... regretting that I haven't updated my blog more often. The pictures are still piling up and yet they sit unsorted on my desktop. The guilt is almost worse than cheating on my diet, and yet I choose to shoulder both burdens.

Well, to relieve my conscience a bit (for the lack of blogging... I'm still going to eat chocolate), I'm posting a photo from about a month ago. It's Tommy's first day of Kindergarten and he was so excited. He loves school and loves his teacher.... so sweet. Sammy has been a great helper to him and makes sure he gets to his classroom ok. It's nice to have a big brother to walk him into school. I'm not sure who it makes feel better, Tommy or me!

As usual, Allie always needs to be a part of the action. She can't wait to go to school and asks everyday when it will be her turn to go to school. Too soon, I fear. They are getting so big, so fast. Not in the picture is Pete (his school starts an hour earlier, he's in 7th grade now) and Matt (I'm homeschooling him this year, he's in 4th). Things have been very busy since school has started. I miss the lazy summer days... and weather.

ps- Thoughts going out to Jen and Tony today. Hope little Tony's surgery is successful!
