September 2016--week 4--Balloon fest Breakfast, silly boys, Sam Marvelous Maverick

Something we look forward to each fall is the "Balloon Fest Breakfast" put on by friends from when we lived in Plano we get up early, eat breakfast and watch the balloons take off from the Plano Balloon festival.  We were somewhat in a hurry because of soccer games.  But we did get our faces painted and enjoyed visiting with friends.





After the breakfast we ran to meet up with Aunt Rachel where we had cousin Clara hang out with us that day so that Rachel and Kodie could get some needed home improvement projects done before baby girl arrives in a few weeks.  I happened upon this precious moment in the bathroom while she was here and HAD to capture it on camera.  Matthew always being helpful!

This kid has had a change of heart.  Over the summer we took a break from piano lessons but spent time really learning his theory and learning his notes.  It has made all the difference and now he can really read the music and play the piano.  So here I come walking by and this guy is singing "I Believe in Christ" with passion and gusto at the top of his lungs and this is what I see.  I appreciate the enthusiasm but I bet his teacher would have something to say about his seating technique.


Matthew is reading so well lately in reading.  Family scripture study in the morning is really helping.



Sam was recognized as a Marvelous Maverick this week at school.  His teacher said he "Always tries his best and sets a great example."
