Back to School

August passed in the blink of an eye, with a quick visit from Grandma:

And some fun in the backyard:

And just like that, quicker than I would have believed possible, summer is done and everyone is back to school. 

A mature second-grader:

And two kids in their second year of pre-school!  They were grouped with mostly four-year-olds, which made me a bit nervous, but they don't seem to be having trouble so far.

Plus a new soccer team - the Red Dragons!  Their first game was hugely competitive, tied 2-2, until the other team scored in the last few seconds (in fairness, the Red Dragons were down 3 players, so everyone played the whole game and was exhausted by the end.)  But guess who scored the two goals for our side?!??

And we won the second game 3-2, again the slimmest of margins - Spencer played defence all game, so no goals, but he did a great job.

Finally - a way to kill time waiting for soccer practice to end.
