them

last sunday was kick off sunday at church- where we celebrate the new school year and some of the kids "graduate" to the next grade level in sunday school. caleb had already been going up with the older kids because he likes to be with his brother cam… but he was presented with a new bible on stage anyways. i could not believe what a little ham he was being!! 🙂

every time they said his name, he would smile real big and wave like he was a movie star or something! ha! that is SO him. class clown but obedient rule follower at the same time. 🙂 the kids have been quite the little dessert preparers lately too– chopping up fruit (i’m so sad our summer fruit is nearing it’s end.. it’s been so eh lately!) and putting them in yogurt. did you know that kira wants to be a chef and take over food network? i totally believe she can do it! 🙂

and one of cam… who was looking through the blog the other day and noticing that it was very heavy on the elsie side. 🙂 he turns 9 in almost 2 months from now. cannot believe that. my last single digit year with him! 😦 i’m getting old! ha!

and my girls from the last week of summer. hate that this seems SO long ago. they definitely grew closer over the summer and kira’s feeling the brunt of being gone all day… she comes home and wants to kiss and snuggle els but els wants no part of it. lol. sigh. she’d much rather dump all of kira’s things out of her book bag and draw with all her cool mechanical pencils. girls.
