Limpy B-Man

Brooks came to me a couple days ago and said his leg was hurting and he wanted to sit down for a while. The next morning he could hardly walk.  Then for two days I carried him from chair to couch to bed.  He was able to talk very slowly and painfully if he needed to but preferred not to.  This video was taken last next day when he was feeling much better, but he is still obviously limping.  

Crawling

Neve is officially crawling.  This should make life very interesting!

Full disclosure, this date is a guess!

Neve - 9 Months

Neve is 9 months.

She is beautiful 18lb, 6oz charming and cuddly babe.  

Family Pictures

Amber Kline did a fantastic job picking a location, posing, shooting, and editing out family pictures.  She is so talented and is a great friend too.  I am so excited about how these turned out.  I cherish pictures of my kiddos.  I love the messy, actions ones, but I also love these ones they dress up and matching and pose.  Oh there are precious to me.  And certainly family shots with all 7 of us are few and far between so fall pictures don't let us go more than a year without having at least one.  

Costumes

Our kiddos enjoyed choosing pumpkins, carving pumpkins, picking out costumes, wearing their costumes, getting glow sticks from our awesome fire department, and receiving a lot of candy!

From Captain America, Spider Man, Iron Man, Lady Pirate and LadyBug, we wish a fun filled halloween!  Meet some neighbors! Give generously! 

Soccer Season

This year soccer included all 3 boys!  Leighton and McCabe played on a team coached by our very own Luke Hukee.  Brooks had a fantastic rookie season under the coaching of college soccer player and co-pastor of Luke, Jess Richey.  

Brooks was an excellent listener and gave his best effort every play, which almost singly handedly is a skill that sets you apart in this young ago.  With the backyard experience he brought from hours of playing his bigger bother, Brooks was a force to be reckoned with.  He scored in all the games but one.  He scored near double digits one game.  He was a humble kid about it too.  Well, until Grandma bought him a shirt that said "Scoring Machine!"  It was so fun to watch him suit up and play.  

 McCabe played in his 3rd season.  Out natural defender hand some incredible stops this seasons.  But he also ventured past half field and scored several times too.  He is quick and his skills have improved tremendously.  What a great attitude too.  He hated when anyone would get hurt no matter what team.  And he would politely tell the referees who was pushing other kids.  So Sweet.

Leighton, also in his 3rd season has a great time.  He had a great year.  Something that stand out to me was how much he was a team player this year.  He passed the ball a lot.  And they were good passes at that.  I think he started to realize the dynamics of teamwork.  He certainly scored his fair share of goals too and was quite the cheerer afterwards.  He is so excited about all of it.  He was also an intent watcher of Brooks' game, taking it all in.
