FOOTBALL!!!
Football games started on a cold and rainy day!! Though the boys did well and won big, we spectators nearly froze!!
The rest of the season provided much more agreeable weather. The boys ended the season with a 3-3 record after losing their first game in the play-offs. They really had fun this year, learned a lot and did very well for being one of the smallest teams at the 5th grade level in our league.
Our boy became quite the tackling machine this year...sack after sack!!
New Adventures
Since our move we have started many new activities.
Rachel and I started taking Tae Kwon Do...which is actually quite fun and good exercise.
Jacob started playing with his new football team....practice started the very first day of school.
The kids started their new schools on August 18...it was a challenge...riding a bus for the first time, going to new buildings, all new kids and teachers...but they have handled it very well! They seem to have adjusted well and are busy making new friends(as well as keeping contact with old friends!).

July!
After our big move this summer we spent most of our weekends traveling...to some extent. We didn't spend a weekend in our rental place for 6 weeks!
The Fourth of July at Grandma and Grandpa's...excitement!
Sparklers are always fun while waiting for the fireworks!!

We took a riverboat ride on the Mississippi with our friends from Marshalltown for a former co-worker's anniversary.
