The boys had three days of soccer camp this week, put on by a local church and taught be a gentleman who played at one point for Brazil.  Here is a pep talk from older brother to younger brother, over breakfast, about what he could expect from the camp!



I don't know how many kids they had, probably 40-50, but all seemed to enjoy it.  It was close enough that they could bike there and back.


We got a call this past week from Joseph's soon to be kindergarten teacher.  In our district the kindergarten teachers reach out to all families over the summer and do a meet and greet.  His teacher will be the same teacher Jacob had.  The teacher, Mrs. Suit, actually begged the principal to have Joseph, because she fell in love with him when he and I would go into Jacob's classroom to help out.  We met at the school playground and he played.....


then I got a picture of the two of them, since back to school night is always so chaotic.

He is super excited to start school and is asking how many more days until his birthday and how many more days until school starts.

Seems my boys hijacked my camera recently.  This photo cracks me up.   They had taken about 15 photos, all of Benjamin appearing to play some intensely, emotional song.  He was all in.
