School's back in session

 So far so good, we're both enjoying our classes and--as much as we loved spending the summer with friends and family--to be back to our own place.  Thanks to all of you who made our summer so great and refreshing!
First day of school--33 weeks

Is it really true?

It seems like having our second baby wouldn't come as such a shock as the first.  By this time, we should know the game right?  Well, I still feel like everything is a surprise.  I guess I like it that way, so it works for us!

Here's what we've been up to lately...

37 weeks

Having a blast baking with Mom and snitching handfuls with Dad

Reading with Pedro

A lovely day in the plaza with the Runyans--the golf club goes EVERYWHERE with us

Monkeying around in the forest by our apartment
He even finds the time to do the dishes

Jammin' on the gui-tar

Just like Dad

Is the house on fire?

It was difficult pulling off a surprise, but we did it!  I couldn't get Mom to leave without me, so thanks to everyone for helping set up everything!  When we pulled up, Mom was scared that the house was on fire (the last time there were a bunch of cars in the driveway was when the huge black walnut tree had crashed onto the wood shed)!
Jesse, Nikki, Ken, and I had a double date--making cake balls and hawaiian pork the night before the big event.  Sue Wolf brought masses of roadside sweet peas (what my parents had at their wedding.)
Three generations of lovely ladies... the Chasse's family picture was one of our favorites from Mom and Dad's wedding album.

The cousins--Saraya loved playing with Rawly

Flower girl and the bride (Auntie Nikki)

The Thomas', long time neighbors and my 2nd and 3rd grade teacher

Uncle Jim and Aunt Laurel--what a lovely couple!
