Still Busy

Its been a month since I posted last and we've done a lot since then.  I'll start with some pics from George's Den meeting.  We toured the Dement-Zinzer House here in Washington.  George was allowed to sit on the swing.

Here is the whole den, and one little brother, in the waiting room of the Doctor's Museum.

We had our annual block party in mid September.  Mary enjoyed the food despite the chilly temp.

Becc and her buddy Anna were decorated like dragons.

With the fall comes another soccer season.  This year we just have Lia and George playing, with Mike coaching both teams of course.

Girls middle school basketball has already started in Illinois.  Becca and I enjoyed the Mother-Daughter Jersey Ceremony.

The 5th grade basketball team.

Patrick has begun his journey to Confirmation (its a 2 year program).  Here he is signing the contract.

Becc'a taking the floor for her first basketball game.

Cross Country is coming to a close with Sectionals next Saturday.  Here's the kids chillin' before a race.

Mary found this book in the waiting room of the doctor's office, looked at the the smiling girl, and declared "That's me, Mommy!"

The potty training is in full swing as well.  Mary enjoys wearing her underwear in many places.

She even got to wear the dress Grandma & pa Sullivan bribed her with to use the potty.  She not totally there yet but she's very close.

As you can tell, we are on to go a lot.  I worry about Becca being so busy but she's handling it with grace..mostly.  Patrick is enjoying the challenge of Algebra and a tough ELA teacher.  Cecilia is having some trouble adjusting to the long hours of school and is extremely whining because of it.  Why she won't just take a nap or go to bed a little early, I don't know.  George had a rocky start to 3rd grade but seems to be in the swing of things now.  And Mary is busy being two, fighting with the dog, and riding in the car with me as we cart someone else around.
