Our Week in Pix . . .

Kate's very first All School Mass! She got to sit with her 5th grade, faith buddy. She was SO excited!


Molly was in the very front with her 3rd grade class, so Mike and I had to watch her from afar - 


Molly ran to give us big hugs . . . 


Kate's first soccer practice of the season - she is so excited Daddy is her coach again this year!



Kate with her friend Michael in Kindergarten - her teacher does a great job of sending pix - 


Ice-cream is in order for Friday after school before walking home!


We stopped to play with friends on the walk home . . .

Monica & Molly

Ruby and Kate found some worms . . . 

Almost home . . . 2nd week of school complete!

Sporting KC Soccer

We always have so much fun at Sporting KC Games! The crowd and the fans are amazing and we love the cheers and what's not to love about watching professional soccer?

We believe! We believe that we will win!

Kate's picking up some tips for her soccer season starting this week - 


It was a gorgeous late summer night for a game  . . . 


Kate was fascinated with the full moon rising over the stadium and took this photo for me!


Daddy's girls . . .

Kate's 1st Week of Kindergarten Adventures . . .

Chipotle for lunch after first half day of school! Molly's choice - Mexican food is definitely her FAVORITE! She's my "taco girl."


Kate saw some of her Kindergarten friends there too - 

{Kate, Celeste, Charlee, Isabel}

Day 2 - ready for her first full day of school!

She wanted to show me that she "knows the way" on Day 2, so I could drop her off like I do Molly in the mornings - so independent. 


She's got it down!

Helping me make stir fry for dinner - chopping the veggies.  


We had a gas leak scare that turned out to be nothing - BUT we had a fun firemen visit because of it and even got to check out their truck!



We went on an after school bike ride and Kate found a fairy wing on the ground - she thinks it might be from her Tooth Fairy!


Kate decided to write a book about her life  - 

I found this after she was in bed - Chapter One. School is happy time. 
Chapter two is all about horses.

9 girls and 6 boys

More fun in Kindergarten!

Up at 6:30 a.m. SO EXCITED for their First Day of Kindergarten and Third Grade!!! 


They were excited to wear their new shoes too!




Apple Bread ready!

Excitement in the air as we pulled up to school and saw so many old and new friends!



I could not feel sad, as they were so excited and happy - I was thrilled for them and the adventure that awaits . . .


Molly with her 3rd Grade Teacher, Miss Czinge

So excited to get to sit by friends!


Kate with her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Leavey!

Ready to learn . . . 

This was waiting for me when I got back to my office at home . . . not quite the same thing, but it will do.
