Ahhhh, Friday!

It's Friday!!!!

We have officially survived the first week of school.

Austin is starting off on the right foot!

He is getting up, early, without a fuss and getting ready

on his own...Homework is being done without a fuss...

he is smiling...

Life is GOOD!!!

and we'll take it!

He is really enjoying switching classes and

likes all of his teachers.

We are off on the right foot and hope we keep

marching right along.

Tonight we finished up the week celebrating.

Twelve years ago these two were born three weeks apart.

Austin was born on July 28th and his cousin Chris arrived

exactly three weeks later.

Tonight we gathered with family to celebrate another

birthday.  Aunt Ann made the boys a cute (and yummy)

cookie cake along with some fresh fruit and ice cream.

All of the kids had fun playing together and we all

enjoyed spending time with family.

I can't wait to see what this next year brings for these two...

they are changing so fast and growing up to be

fine young men.
