Back in the cast...
4 weeks after Owen's cast was taken off, he had another put back on. He was riding his bike (without his splint on), and fell off his bike.
He was much more bummed about the cast second time around, then he was the first.
He just started 5th grade, and he can't write. So, I'm doing all his homework (am I smarter than a 5th grader?) He can't particpate in gym or recess. He can't play soccer w/ his travel team.
Seriously bummed.

The Italian and the German
(as my Grandpa likes to call them)
Can you guess which is which? And, could they possibly look any more different?

3 generations
I absolutely cherish time I get spend with my grandma. It had been a year since we spent time with her, and may be another year before we see her again.
Owen interviewed grandma (his GG) while we were in Florida. He got a list of questions from the computer about interviewing grandparents, and learned a lot about what life was like when she was his age.

Beach soccer
This is an OFFICIAL "beach" soccer ball - as in the kind that's used for beach soccer tournaments. They're a little lighter than regular soccer balls, so that they can be used bare foot. Owen ordered in online - so he would have it for Florida.
Every morning and every night, the boys made new friends on the beach. I was often on the beach by 630 AM w/ Henry (the other boys slept in), the boys joined us after breakfast, and we came in only for lunch and dinner. After dinner, we went down and walked the beach often not coming in until dark. And then, they sometimes came back out and hunted sand crabs.
2nd annual family reunion!
We celebrated our 2nd annual family reunion in August in Destin, Florida. I have so many wonderful photos to share that it will take me weeks to upload to this blog - so bear with me.
There were 22 of us there this year. Some relatives I hadn't seen in years. We had the best time, and are alerady counting down our time until our 2013 reunion.
This year we made a last minute decision to fly instead of drive. My mini-van (now with 150,000 miles on it) was very happy with our decision. But, flying out and back Saturday to Saturday was really expensive, so it ended up being cheaper extending our stay in Florida instead. SO - we got to spend 11 days and 10 nights in Floriday. I think I'm going to have a hard time going less than that from now on...
