Labor Day

A sunny day at the soccer field...

Patrick is on a travel team this year, the Culpeper Comets. He hasn't won a game yet this season, we're hoping his team can start a streak soon! he has soccer three nights a week with games on Sunday afternoons.

Had a family cookout complete with bonfire, horseshoes and smores on Labor Day.

Abby and Margaret on a recent afternoon at the pool. Abby is swimming with just her bubble on her back- she can swim all over all by herself, but isn't a big fan of going underwater yet...

Like mother like daughter... or ...what happens at the VA Highland Games stays at the games...

First day of school and other end of summer pics

Middle School here he comes!

Patrick seems to be enjoying his new school. We are sending him to a private Christian school in town and his class is small. He has soccer clinic on Mondays and the transition was very smooth.

Margaret's first day of 3rd grade!

Margaret is still at EHE with me. She has the same teacher Patrick had in third grade and is loving it. Abby goes to Miss Jennifer just like last year and is doing well too. She wants to be just like her sister and they are great friends.

Celebrating my birthday with Scott and family at Bubby's house!

We took the kids to the park, went swimming at the Y and then headed to Bubby's for chicken dinner. Kids decorated cupcakes and we had a great day.

Abby's swallow test came back fine!!

Got results back from neurosurgeon that she has no swallowing issues due to her brain condition. AMEN! She has an MRI scheduled in mid. Dec. Please keep up the prayers that everything will look stable and that she has no build up of spinal fluid. She is one happy, goofy girl!
