Benjamin's soccer practice!

 I got to take Benjamin to his soccer practice.
 It was the same situation as William.  Benjamin was having a game the following
weekend, but I wasn't going to be there to see it.
 Lindsey loved playing soccer when she was younger.  Her boys are following in her footsteps.

 Benjamin was stylish in his two different colors of socks.





 I have no idea what was happening here, but I love this picture.






 I love watching all my grandsons playing their sports!

Sullivan's working hard!

Oh Sullivan!  Your smile lights up my heart!

 How precious you are!


 How sweet you are!
You're working hard on standing up on your own.
Before too long, you'll be chasing your big brothers around the house!

October 16

I always remember October 16...that was my parents' anniversary.  What I don't remember, is the year.  1949?  1950?  I think it's 1949 which would make this their 70th?  

Happy Anniversary, Mom!

One of my soccer stars!

There goes William!
 I love this picture!
I had taken William to his soccer practice...he was having a game the following weekend, but I wasn't going to be able to watch it.  I just love to watch him play!



 In some drills, he wore the practice pinnie to show he was on one team or the other.  Other drills he was just in his own shirt.



 He forgot his shin guards...oops!
 Look at the expression on his face.
So intense!

That red face!  That just shows the intensity with which he plays! 
My William!
He's definitely a soccer star!

Rest in Peace, Parry!

This is Parry...Parry the parakeet.  Parry was much loved by Benjamin.  He would talk to me about Parry, saying how cute he was...how he loved to swing...how he and Coco were such good buddies.
Sadly, Parry went to bird-heaven.  
This is Coco...William's parakeet.
I bet Coco is really missing his buddy.
Here they both are in their cage.  This was in September when I was there visiting.
On a happier note, it was so much fun hanging out with all the boys!
William and Benjamin both have a notebook they draw pictures in.  Here, 
William was drawing lines just like he sees at school on writing papers.
    Benjamin is an avid reader!  Here he is working some puzzles in the Hidden Pictures book.

Sullivan was curious what he was reading.
You can really see the lines here.  William was very precise in measuring where the lines should be.

Not doing anything spectacular, just totally enjoying hanging out with the boys...and their sweet mama!
