Columbus Crew

The families from Aiden's soccer team all got together and went to a Columbus Crew soccer game together last weekend. It was a team building activity of sorts but also a chance for the boys to watch professional soccer players at work. We all had a great time! It was great to see the boys together off the field and it was so fun to see them all lined up with their eyes on the field. Their coach, who is the best and who never stops coaching, coached them throughout the game pointing out everything that was going on. Columbus Crew went into the second half three points behind but ended up tying the game before the end so it was an exciting game for sure. The boys cannot wait to go back. The team and siblings all got to high five the players and practice penalty kicks on the field at the end of the game. The man who coordinated our team attending got an email from the man who coordinates events for the Crew complimenting our boys on what a wonderful and polite team they were and how they were the first team to all thank him and shake his hand. Needless to say, we're really proud of their manners.  The boys are all talking about when we can go again. It's soccer fever over at my house and with the World Cup just four days away I don't think the soccer talk is going to let up anytime soon.



Everyone got Columbus Crew soccer socks upon entering the stadium. Cade couldn't wait to wear his.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
