September Went By Fast!

I have not been keeping this updated very well.  But let me share some pictures from the past month.  Miss Cecilia started preschool!  She is the only girl in a class of 5 and she loves it!

On the steps ready to go!

Me and my gal.

And my other gal.

Mary's first football season.

Mary has decided to sit up.  She's almost crawling but not quite.

In the yard.

Last week was the Homecoming parade and my Tiger Cubs were all there to represent Pack 168.

School is going well so far.  Patrick is working hard at Scouts and Cross Country; Becca is rocking 3rd grade; George is working hard at 1st grade but we still haven't figured out how he learns best; Lia is tell the other kids what all the letters are; and Mary is working on mobility.  Mike continues to coach soccer for two kids as well as lead our Scout pack.  I have added Tiger Cub den leader to my list of titles and having fun with my 4 Scouts.  All in all, life is good.

Keepin' Busy

Let's just jump in shall we?  Some sisterly love.

Ice cream time.

Right before school started, George lost his first tooth, followed very quickly by the second.

Patrick also started running Cross Country this year.  He's had three races, two went well, the other not so much.

 The girls had their faces painted last week at the block party.

Mary may be crawling before she sits up, but it is a race to see which one is achieved first.

Lia made a "water gun" out of tinker toys.

Just being cute.

Cecilia starts preschool on Tuesday.  She will be the only girl in her class of 6 so please pray for those boys.  We're all doing well and are in good health.

Other Happenings

My parents broke their journey to Ohio with us this past weekend.  The kids were thrilled to see G&G Sullivan, except maybe Mary.

Look, Grandpa Sullivan and a baby!  It must run in the family.

Two of my girls.

Me torturing George. 

Up close of Mary.

Becca is such a beauty, especially first thing in the morning!

George lost his first tooth, other than the one that resulted in a trip to the ER.  He looks even more silly now.

 On top of being the first day of school, it is also Mary's 6 month birthday.  She enjoys rolling around, putting things in her mouth and is trying desperately to crawl.  She's had some rice and oatmeal cereal and will be trying some fruit later this week.  She remains the sweet, wonderful baby we brought home in February.

Mary has had enough of me on the computer so I'll be going now.

First Day of School

It's hard to believe but today is the first day of school for three of my kids. Patrick started 5th grade, which means school sports (he already started Cross Country practices), band, and switching classrooms.

George is in 1st grade this year, which means spelling test and sitting still more.  Good luck buddy...and Mrs. Hedden.

This tall girl is starting 3rd grade, which I'm told is a tough year at St. Pats.  Patrick handled it just fine, so Becca should follow suit.

All five of my awesome kids.  I know George doesn't look so thrilled but its because he didn't get to hold Mary...I think.

The boys!

The girls! 

Under the sign at school.

I took a picture of each kid in his/her classroom but some how the one of George didn't get saved.

Lia and Mary back in the car.

We ended the school 1/2 day with pizza!

The first day seems to have gone well.  George had a moment because he "was bored".  Here's to a good school year for u and to all of you.
