Games Without Fronteirs

A normal busy week around here - no rest for the weary.  Marcy and I both had colds all week but the kids fared just fine - perhaps all the chlorine protects them!


Lily had her normal week of swimming but a short week of school as the there was no school on Friday for a teacher work day. Lily is working hard at school and making new friends.

Jack had his normal week of school and is working hard on his letters.

On Friday night, we had all the neighborhood kids over that recently moved in. In the past year, nine kids under nine have all moved into our little circle. The newest family with two girls Lily's age just moved in across the street last week. It is nice as there are no shortage of kids to play with! All the kids had a great time - and it was a very noisy affair! We had a nice time getting to know our new neighbors as well.

On Saturday, Jack had his first day of flag football which was a big hit. We also continued to work with Jack on his two wheel riding. He is coming along well. We also visited the pumpkin patch and picked up our carving pumpkins. Later on that evening, the kids had a babysitter and a fun time playing hide and seek with Kate.

On Sunday, Jack had his first day of Hebrew School and had a great time. Lily was there too so it was a quiet morning of running errands.  In the afternoon Jack went to a birthday party for one of his classmates and Lily went for a play date at Maddie's house. Needless to day, everyone slept well Sunday night.

Posting by Marcy: Lily and Jack want to send out special birthday wishes to Dad who celebrates his birthday on Wednesday.
