 It's crazy to look at last year's pictures and see how much Eliza has grown!

Eliza is in the Turtle class this year!

Hazel and Ruby say "Goodbye."

Here we are!

We are so excited about Eliza's teacher, Mrs. Thomas!

 Owen was excited to spot a hammer.

He was not excited to get back in the car without Eliza.

 But a few hours later, we came back for her!

 It was a good day! Eliza said, "I did exactly what you asked me to do Mommy!"

 And now we are done with pictures.

 Is it nap time yet?

Pups!

Our friends are local vets and breed their yellow labs.  We got to see Hazel when she was only 2 days old.   We've gotten to see most of their other litters as well.  Hazel's sister had her third litter earlier this summer and we went to see them over the weekend.

 Have you ever seen a cuter face?

 Fortunately Owen backed up before she got his nose!

 Eliza had fun being the Mommy and feeding the puppies.

 Lacey is a good Momma.

 "Hey wait! We weren't finished!"

 Hazel's Mom, Annie

Soccer Part 2

  

 Tonight was the last night of Eliza's Soccer Week.  It was a little stressful to have dinner done by 5:35 each night, but it's summer, so we were home earlier and made do...no fancy meals this week.

The last three days were MUCH cooler than the first night so I think that made a big difference.  Eliza also got used to the structure and tonight, she was proud to show me what she had learned. 

Owen was WAY excited to be there again tonight. 

He went right after a ball and kicked it back and forth with me. 

Owen played goalie for me for a little bit and he's pretty good!

Eliza was excited to bring a ball home. 

The first night we were a little worried that Eliza was going to hate the week.  She warmed up as the week went on and we feel like we can try soccer again sometime (and Owen seems ready for his turn!)
