Is Fall Here Yet?!

With Michael starting soccer again and Sydney's horse show schedule starting you would think Fall is here. If you look at the calendar and lived anywhere other than were we do it would be more than knocking on our door step:). Michael played his first game of the soccer season yesterday with the temps hovering around 100 F!! I guess it's better than winter at my parents and the temps hovering around -40 F- and that's no joke!!
As with everyone else who has school aged children we are back in the groove of getting up early for school, having soccer practice and horsebacking riding Tues and Thurs nights and KIDS Rock- our church's kids program- on Wed nights... that leaves Mondays and Fridays with no activities- for now at least.
Michael's stitches are out and he looks great!! Sydney is out of the hard cast after 6 weeks and is in a hard brace for 4 more weeks- the growth plate is still not completely healed:( BUT on another note Syd's braces are off after 21 months... she grew up overnight it seems.
We also celebrated David's 50th birthday this weekend with some very good friends and a good time was had by all. I guess this catches us up for a little while at least.
And of course there is a quote from Michael this afternoon as the kids were in and out of the pool with friends and one of them said she standing on water... "Now that's ridiculous, only Jesus can stand on water!!"... I guess he really is listening to us and his teachers at church!!
