Fall has finally arrived in Houston, TX. It seems like it took forever, but I am so thankful for the cooler weather. Since school started our weeks have been filled with church, soccer, tennis, and running. Oh, I forgot to mention - sickness. About three weeks into school, all three of the kids were sick. It started with Reagan, then Brady, then Camryn, then back to Reagan and Brady. Brian got sick as well. And yes, Camryn and Brady both missed a day of school. No perfect attendance this year for us. I was really bummed about it (probably more so than the kids), but now it takes the pressure off for the rest of the year! I do not know exactly what we had, but there was vomiting and fever and it lasted for one full week. Thank goodness we are healthy now!!
We finally got Brady and Camryn into sports this year. Brady is playing soccer and Camryn opted for tennis (no sweating for her). They both have practice on Thursday - at the same place and same time. Very convenient for me. Reagan is a handful right now so I don't really get to watch either of them at practice. Brady has games on Saturday, and we (Brian and I) are having a lot of fun. I remember going to the Smith's soccer games in Dallas one year, and laughing because Uncle Clint was so intense. Uncle Clint would now be laughing at us though. Brian and I have learned that we are very competitive. I am on the side lines cheering on the team, and always yelling for Brady to be ready. Camryn does not have actual games, but she is doing well. She enjoys her practices, and is always eager to go.
Pumpkins are everywhere since Halloween is right around the corner. We took the kids to the pumpkin patch at Wee Wuns after church on Sunday. You will notice that there are a few pictures of Brady by himself. He kept asking me to take pictures of him at various spots - so cute!! The weather was perfect. Reagan loves pumpkins. She gets very excited when she sees them, and can't understand why we do not visit the pumpkin patch every Tuesday and Thursday before school.
It won't be long now before Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are especially looking forward to December since our favorite Australian Smith's will be home.
