The Wonderful Days of School Pictures

So today the kids brought home their school photos. They sure have changed since their first school pictures were taken.

A New Sport

This year Caleb decided he wants to play inline hockey. He spent most of his summer outside on his rollerblades, and when the note came home from Skate City saying the fall league was starting he was so excited! His first game was last week. We are so proud of willingness to try something new. He seems to enjoy it very much, for which we are very glad for him. GO #8!

STUFF

We all have it.

This weekend, after giving it much thought for the past two months, I cleaned my study. In fact I took everything out of it and even rearranged the furniture. In the process of doing so, I came across some things that I didn't even realize I had. I was at the store the other day and I needed computer labels. Guess what I found in my cleaning process. You guessed it, a brand new package. Last month I was looking for the most recent wallet profiles for my kids that you get from school pictures, (the ones I currently have are when Caleb was in Kindergarten and Ema was in 2nd grade) and guess what I came across...you guessed it again, their profiles from last year. Before long I will be getting this years! More stuff to add to the collection. Why is it that we have so much stuff. While I was in Florida this past summer my dad mentioned an article he had read. It suggested you create a list of the things you could not live without. The only catch was your list could not exceed 100 things. I wonder what your list would include? Could 100 be enough with all the stuff we like to accumulate?
