Labor day at the lakes

This sunday we went to lake melissa again to say farwell to this wonderful summer. We brought Casadi with us and Roger's youngest daughter Molly was there as well. Gavin learned how to play baseball while we were there too, he is quite the natural. We had so much fun, it was hard to leave.

Birthday Fun

This weekend we went to Joani's nephew Ethan's birthday party. It was at a hotel, with a water slide and water park. Gavin and Evan (Joani's son) had a blast swimming and playing video games.

First day of 1st grade
1st day of Kindergarten

Today was Gavin's first day of school. I can't believe my little boy is in 2nd grade. I cried of course, because I am a softy. He was so excited, and a little nervous, though he wouldn't admit it. Here are a couple pics from the exciting morning.
