Baseball–Fall 2012, Oakland A's

These kids are good this year, we actually felt bad for the other team the first game because they got SMOKED!  And, it seems like they all got a growth spurt over the summer.  Jeff is an official co-coach this year.  He loves it, Austin loves it, and amazingly the girls are pretty easy during the games.

Grandparent’s Day 2012

Celebrating at Austin’s school.

9-7-12, grandparent's day at Austin's school

At Concordia.  Ella actually was very excited, but then had a meltdown because she wanted to leave school and go with Mimi.  All was well later in the day when Daddy got back from his Vegas trip and picked them up early from school.

1st week of 2nd grade celebration!

For the third year, we had our annual celebration of Austin’s first week of school with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.

It makes me so happy and content to have this wonderful, crazy, loud dinner every year.  I wasn’t able to capture shots of everyone, but Mimi, Papa, Uncle Jacob, Grandpa Al, Granma Liz, Grandma Chris, Aunt Leslie and the babies made it.  (poor uncle Joel had to work, so we had an extra margarita for him.

Our sweet nieces are mastering baby food.  Abby enjoyed her dinner too!
