The good

 I miss pictures like this!! 
And yes, that is an adult size Razor scooter- Chet didn't want to miss out on the fun!

There is a lot of good in our life right now!

The weather is changing and we are getting a head start on welcoming the Fall!  I am ready to put out the fall decor NOW and we already bought all 3 girls' costumer for Halloween. I am done with summer and ready to move on!

The weather was so nice this weekend and we finally got out to the park. I cannot describe how nice it felt to run in the grass, practice soccer drills with Julia and just get some exercise!



 This picture shows how BIG the soccer field is for Julia's division this year. It's a full size field- this picture was taken at mid field only. She was SO sore after running back and forth during her first game this last weekend. 

 The "kids" on their scooters.
 JOY!!!
 Bella and Chet doing cartwheels. Did I mention how happy we were to be outside?? ;-) 

 I think I need to work on my back bend form a little!

And this added 'good' to a rough day for Julia. Despite putting in so much work and effort into her campaign, Julia was not elected Student Council Secretary this year and was devastated. At 10 years old, its a little hard to understand that there is a life lesson in all experiences (good and bad) and that she can try again next year. After seeing her visibly upset after school, these 2 neighbor boys, Tyler and Cody who just moved next door this Spring, came by with this bouquet of flowers for Julia. They truly have been wonderful neighbors and have shown such kindness to us.  It really brightened her day and she was so honored.
