First Day of First Grade

Today was Liam's (and mine for that matter) first day of school. Hard to believe that little frizzy haired Liam is now in first grade! This year was a big year as he (we) are changing schools and he didn't know anyone. The names are a little different for him too. He seemed to do well - he wasn't too sure about the uniform either. When I peeked in on him he was smiling and he was standing on the line nicely when I walked by. Hopefully we will have a great year.

Liam's First Round

First round Valley Green Golf Course (pay at the bar of course), next round Augusta National. Yesterday Liam and I went golfing on a "real" course for the first time. I guess you would call a par 3, 1000 yd. course a real course. He did pretty well and we did count every stroke (I guess a lesson of golf). He shot a 67 and even out drove me on hole #2. It was a great day and hopefully many more to come.

2nd Child Syndrome

I guess I can't short change the second child, I'd hate for him to get a complex that will need years of psychiatric help to get over. He already doesn't get anything of his own. So here is a short (I know, still short changed) video of Owen riding his tricycle. You may have seen him in the background of Liam's video. Anyway, I digress.

Also, I saw that my last post was post #150. Amazing I have made it that long. Enjoy!

A Day of Firsts

Today was a day of first you could say. Today was my first day of meetings with my faculty at Risen Savior. Nothing earth shattering to report. Other than being a little nervous things went fine. You soon forget how much you just know after having been at a school for six years. Today was lots of learning and asking questions for me.

Probably on a bigger scale, today was Liam's first time riding a bike. Cathy has been worried for some time that he hadn't done it or wasn't interested in it. I guess today was the day. They went over to the St. John's parking lot and he rode it around (video below). I wen't over there with him tonight and other than running into a parked car he did great.

Randomitity

Here are a few pictures from things that have gone on this summer. I (we, Liam and Owen too) bought Cathy a camera for Mother's Day... I would have to say that the salesman sold me on a Sony, but I am not as happy as I would have been with my normal Canon purchase. Oh well, when it takes a good picture it is nice, but many of them aren't real good. Oh well.

Amy, Owen, & Liam

Bonnie

Cathy has been trying to convince my that my new Bonneville isn't an old lady car. Well.... Russ, my neighbor was out the other day and asked, "Is that your parents' car?" We'll chalk one up for it being an old lady car.

Liamism

The other day we were talking about moving and our new house someday with Liam... he pondered for a bit and then asked, "Where will we go on vacation when they are building our new house?"

I guess we watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition too much.
