Bad Daddy!

But with an explanation. No posts for a month?! Bad, bad, bad. The avalanche called our schedule has been overwhelming again, as usual. There are way too many things going on right now to post them all, so how about some bullet points.

--High school (and not the easy public school version) has hit full force.

--JV soccer, at a school 25 miles away. Ugh, we travel just to go to practices.

--Fall sports (soccer, mostly, but also flag football) for everyone else.

--New nephew was born, a month early, on 10/1.

--Gall stones (me, including a midnight trip to ER), laproscopic surgery scheduled for next week.

--Homeschool, for the middle four kids.

--Piano lessons.

--Kenzie. She has several entries to herself since she causes more than the usual conflicts.

--Kenzie travel softball: four-hour practices (30 minutes from home) and weekend tournaments, year-round.

--Kenzie travel soccer: three nights a week, plus weekend games (sometimes 2 hours away).

--Connor travel soccer: not really on the team, but he practices with them twice a week.

--Birthdays. Our family (including in-laws) has 6 to celebrate in October.

I gotta stop now because Alex's ride just picked him up to get him to the bus stop and that's my cue to get everyone else rolling. Here's some quick shots of Bekah's birthday. She just recently discovered Barney.
