School and football- Fall is coming!

Hello everyone. I thought that I would do another August update of the past week. First the boys went back to school this week, and this year I was feeling alittle sad. We really had a wonderful summer with the boys. They were alot of fun to be around- minimal fights and lots of hanging out at home. Jacob started 3rd grade and Logan started 1st grade. This is really crazy - they are growing up way to fast!!!

And there has been some really exciting football news! Jacob played his first game today in the high school stadium. It was very amusing. Jacob plays Defensive back and wing back, and pretty much has no clue of what he should be doing, like all the other 3rd graders. It was really cute though, and he was so pumped up after the game. He had a great time!!! In the pictures below Jacob is number 77.
I'll update more as we advance through the Fall months. Matt has a new job and now that the boys are in school they do not see him as much, and they are going through some serious withdrawal! We are all doing well and patiently waiting for the baby- on which there has been no new news. The room is slowly coming along, though I can't quite figure out how I want to finish the walls. Unfortunately I have time!!! Take care everyone!

Summer continues, but not for much longer!

Hello everyone. We are halfway through August and it hard to believe how fast the summer has passed. The boys return to school on August 26th, so there is really not much more time for them. They are continuing to have a great summer. There is one new thing for this month, and that is football camp! We're talkin' pads, helmets, tackle, 5 nights a week, 2 hours a night. It is crazy and quite a commitment, but Jacob is really having a good time. During the second week, Jacob had shin splints. These are very painful, but Motrin with 20 minutes of heat and 20 minutes of ice before practice seemed to do the trick. They are still bothering him, but that's football.

Logan is doing well also. He enjoys going to the camp during the evening, and playing with kids he knows from school. Logan told me that he is not ready to go back to school and is not excited. It should be an interesting first day. Hopefully new shoes will motivate him to walk out the door.

As everyone knows, the Olympics are finally underway, so we are hoping for a speedup here in the next few weeks. There are some glitches right now with updating out fingerprints, but we have confidence that our adoption agency will work this out for us. It really does not look like we will be traveling until February anyway, unless of course there is a miracle.

We will keep everyone posted! Thanks for reading!
