At the beach

This post is way overdue... In September, we met Marcy and her family at Padre Island for some fun in the sun. We had the best time! We got a lesson in sand castle construction, caught crabs, collected sand dollars, had a bonfire and cookout, and just played 'til we were worn out. It was so much fun! Marcy's family is so precious for letting us join in their vacation. Here are some pics:

Coker Fair 2009

Gage's school, Coker Elementary, had their annual fair a couple of Fridays ago.

We played lots of games...

...and ate....

...and drank...

...and were merry. :) Griffin won a cake in the cake walk. It was pretty exciting! And the cake was yummy!

Before we left, Gage played with his friend, Tristan, on the playground for a while.

Baseball Begins

Gage started playing baseball a couple of weeks ago, and the Hot Shots had their first baseball game on Saturday. He is really good at hitting the ball, and he looks super cute in his uniform!

Fall Portraits

I took the boys to a park by our house on Sunday and took some pictures.

Pics the boys took:

After Gage took a picture, Griffin wanted a turn, and he wasn't taking "no" for an answer. I was worried about the camera. :)

Meet the Teacher

Both boys' schools had Meet the Teacher night on Friday night before school started on Monday. We got to see their classrooms and other parts of the schools, and we met some of their classmates and their teachers.

Griffin didn't want me to take pictures of him before we left...


Gage is always a good sport about my camera obsession...

Gage at his desk:

Gage's teacher is Ms. Courtney. She seemed very down to earth and mild tempered. She was happy to see all the kids, which is a good sign (or she is a good actress). Gage liked her and liked the school, too.

Griffin just layed in the floor most of the time we were in his classroom. I'm sure his teacher was very impressed. ;)

Griff's teacher is Mrs. Pierdolla. She is so sweet, and Griffin seems to like her.

My Cub and Hawk:

New Schools

Both the boys are going to school this year. Gage is in 2nd grade, and Griffin is in Pre-K. We went to register on August 5th, and I took some pics of the boys and their new schools. Griffin is a Harmony Hills Hawk, and Gage is a Coker Cub!
