In August, Mike returned home to an eager family!! Shortly thereafter, we all returned to our 'regular' schedule of school and work. I am again watching Peter and Oliver during the week and homeschooling the 'big kids' in addition.
Here, Titus and Oliver get ready for their first day of pre-school together. They go across the street to "Miss. Kim's", there are three others in their class.
Michael also began school, this time doctorate work!

Titus and Jude really enjoy each other, I am so thankful for my children and their capacity to love.

Sara and her family stopped by for a visit. It was the first time we had all gotten together for a while!
Cousin reunion!
Sem soccer...this year we added Titus to the line-up!
The second annual "Dress Up or Dress Down" dinner. This year we invited Jamie, Paul and crew, what a collection of people! (Mike is a rabbit hunter, in case you wondered.)
We took a family field trip to the pumpkin farm, it was incredible!
