Let us not forget the sacrifice

Ok, here is my one political statement for this election season. Please watch this video.

A fun weekend

The weekend was a busy one but filled with fun. Friday night, Simon and I went to the annual St. Peter and Paul Halloween party hosted by one of the parents at their home. It was on a beautiful farm out Paris Pike. Simon enjoyed seeing his friends and teacher outside of school. We were sad to find out this is the last year for this party since their child is in eighth grade and is graduating this year.

Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast with the works at Keeneland. I think Sarah could have stayed all day to watch the horses.

Saturday was also Simon's second to last soccer game and finally Joseph and I enjoyed a "date night" and went to the UK homecoming football game. It was cold but what a GREAT comeback at the end of the game. It was worth it.

Simon's day with the "big boys"

Simon and his teammate Winston

Simon's soccer team got to escort the Men's UK soccer team out on the field during their introductions and the playing of the national anthem. Simon thought it was so cool. It was tough to get good pictures but here are a couple.

Sarah's first school pictures

It wasn't Sarah's usual smiley self on picture day. Isn't her outfit adorable though? Also, you have to love those ratios in the classroom. Four teachers, six children. Those are better than at home sometimes.

Osmosis Osmosis

Oh how I wish osmosis worked in this way. (I am not sure if you can tell but that is his Bible)

Sarah and Gavin

Sarah enjoyed seeing her old friend Gavin on Sunday. They spent a lot of time together with their babysitter Alma prior to Sarah moving to her new school. It was Gavin's baby brother Jake's first birthday party.

Baby update

A confession

I have to confess, I have been terrible at remembering to videotape Simon and Sarah. I feel especially bad for Sarah because I have a ton of footage of Simon from birth to 2 years old. I was religious about it since I sent the videos to Joseph in Iraq. While I am soooo glad I am not having to video tape for that reason, it is still not fair to her.

Here is my attempt to start up the videotaping again. This is Sarah playing one of her favorite games lately...name that body part!
