Kindergarten

It's kind of a reality check on the passage of time when our children start school.  They are still so young but it is a quick reminder how fast the time is passing.  Sam gets to ride the school bus, which he finds to be an adventure.

Jr. ROTC

Austin started Jr. ROTC at Northridge High School. Twice or three times a week he will have to leave at 5:30 AM to catch the train, then a bus, and then walk the final distance.  This is his new hair cut!

Soccer, the beginning of something special

Sam started playing recreational soccer.  I call it "bunch ball" but he loves it!  This is the beginning of something special.  #4

No hands, if you touch the ball with your hands you have to do push-ups, per Coach (aka Dad)

A little dental work

Austin had to get more teeth pulled.  This poor kid has had more teeth pulled and knocked out than I think he has legitimately lost through the natural way.

He was so silly on the anesthesia.
