September so far

There is not much to complain about in North Carolina in September. The humidity disappeared last week, and we are having perfect play-outside weather now--just in time for the kids to have their first break from school starting next week (yea!). Here are some of the things we've been up to the last few weeks...

Duke's opening football game... and they actually won! :) It was employee family night, so there was a free dinner, face painting, and all kinds of fun.
Eliza begged for months to take ballet lessons, so here she is in her new dance class. She takes tap and ballet and is loving it. Ever since she started kindergarten she just seems too grown up.
Our awesome home teacher gave us his old trampoline since his kids are all grown now. As you can see from this pic, our kids LOVE their newest toy. 
Kimball went to his very first pack meeting tonight, and I realized we have entered a whole new world with scouts. Those cub scout cheers are really something. :) Kimball is also playing soccer, keeping up with piano, and he's joined his school's "Golden Skippers" jump rope team. Busy but fun.
Grant's newest craze is superheroes. He especially loves Spiderman, Captain America, and the Incredibles. He wore this Spiderman suit all morning as we ran errands today. He loved all the attention from strangers, and one guy at the grocery store even got into a web slinging battle with him. 
 So, there is a small sampling of our crazy life.
