THE END

Love you all and Steven's antics can be found on FB.

October Came and Went

My! Where does the time go? Here are some highlights of October.

Steven had a great time playing soccer. He had two great coaches and played on a team that worked well together. In the end their record was 7 wins, 1 tie, and one loss. The weather may have played a role in the loss. The boys couldn't stay on their feet due to all the mud. Actually, our last game was Nov. 7.

Halloween was a screaming good time. Our pirate has the loot to show for it. Even mom got into the action or did she just come as herself? Only the Shadow knows. And nothing is more fun then trick or treating with a BFF.

September has been a very busy month. We began with a wonderful Stay-ca-tion before school started. Some of the highlights included a water taxi to Navy Pier. Of course, Steven made a friend on that ride. September was also the start of school, then soccer.

Topping off the month, we celebrated Rosh Hashana and a visit from Shy.

I tried a new way to post and it mixed up the order. Oops. Better luck next time.

The month ended on as good a note and it started. We had a wonderful Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Years) celebration. We spent so much time with family and friends. Here is just on cute shot of Ben, Emily, and Steven.

The month ended with a short and long overdue visit from Shy. For those not in the know, Shy lived with us for two months 3 summers ago. Steven likes to refer to him as his big brother by choice.

Soccer season also started. Steven is a White Night. His team has 2 wins and one tie so far. He has two great coaches and the boys seem to work well together. Steven did have his first experience with trash talking that didn't go so well. Luckily just tears. No physical stuff. Some boy swore at him and told him he was a looser. It was kind of funny considering the White Nights were winning by quite a few and Steven had made a goal.

Here is Steven on his first day of school. 2nd grade is going well. I am so excited to hear him read Hebrew so well and see how big his vocabulary is growing. In his American studies, he much prefers math to reading just like his mom.

Another highlight was the White Sox game with some of our favorite friends.
