a few weeks of pictures...

a couple of weeks ago we went to the Red Mile (Lexington's harness racetrack) This was the first time I had ever been there. Much different crowd than Keeneland!

Simon and I got caught in a rainstorm at his soccer game today. Simon thought it was so much fun!

This picture doesn't do it justice but Sarah had her hair sprayed with purple polka dots to match her dress at Christ the King's Oktoberfest on Saturday.

One morning before school. Simon was trying to show him a book that he made at school that he is very proud of.

Sarah showing no fear at a bounce house for Dawson's birthday party.

Enjoying the park with Kaylee and Stacy over Labor day weekend.

Circus!

front row seats. Sarah stood against the glass most of the time so she would not miss a thing.

For the last several years, it has become sort of a tradition that our friend Dana and her son Lucas join me and Simon for a trip to the circus. No Dads or the last two years, no sisters. We felt that Sarah was ready to join us at the circus and Joseph could come along too. Brooke, Luca's little sister will probably be ready to join us next year and we would love to have Paul along too.

Anyway, Sarah absolutely loved her first circus. Her favorite parts were the dancers and the tigers. Simon and Lucas agreed that their favorite part was the motorcycles in the giant metal ball. Thanks to the Etters for getting us terrific seats and a equally terrific cheap price.
