Go "Inter"! Run, Kick, Score!

This was Ethan's first year playing soccer. He and his buddies played for "Inter". They won some and lost some. It's a blast to watch the mass of youngsters, with shin guards from their ankles to knees, kicking and chasing the ball mostly in the direction of their opponents goal. Ethan really enjoyed the season, and played hard.

End of Summer Harvest

Mom finally achieved her dream this year; a monster garden. Let me (Dad) just say that when she "recruited" Dad to remove the existing grass, remove the existing topsoil and replace and till the new topsoil, the "garden plans" were roughly 60% smaller than the final product. She has a way with scope creep, and leveraging/stretching her general labor...or is it dumb labor. She was right though, of course. It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to work and learn. They loved it, and we all loved the product!

Hey...where is the bean? Did I already eat them all?

Awwwaahaahaahaasome! Look at this cucumber! Got vinegar?

"...the garden's my oyster..."
