Labor Day Rest

The first week of school was wrapped up with great success. Noah loves his first grade teacher and she seems to have just the right kind of gentle spirit that can relate with Noah's. Matthew also loves his teacher.I know she is going to help him become a better writer. He also loves his science teacher who happens to be "so cool". And Mark has started off the year with a much better start than last year. Honestly, he was the one I was worried for. Last year was a HUGE adjustment. Even though there were friends that came over with him, it just wasn't enough for him to help him find his place in middle school. But this year he seems excited about his schedule and comfortable with the routine.

And, as well as everyone did the first week, we were all eager to have a three day weekend. We enjoyed it to the fullest. It started out with a day at the opening game of the season.

After the first touchdown occurred, it started to feel like fall already!

And, even though he curses the turf they play on, we found our little Longhorn secretly lifting his guns up. I HAD to document this moment.

And here is the real reason people come to the game. Go FireEaters!

But some people also come to see this man, Michael Crabtree, score. We enjoyed our time at Jones Crab Shack!

Sunday was a nice family get together. Having a place to laugh makes the rough times more bearable.

And these ladies can make me laugh.

Matthew was a part of the mass birthday celebration.

I can't believe my baby is fixing to hit double digits!

And of course what is a get together unless the men can reminisce about football. Keep wishing boys. Every body's got to have a dream.

Tomorrow we will get back into the routine again. Seventy-six days left! I hope to make the most of them all!
