Hmmmm....like I said, I have a hard time keeping up with keeping in contact and everyone updated. School has begun, and I decided to include a whole host of pictures from our summer fun! This summer we went to the Indianapolis Zoo and got to pet real sharks...we also saw giant hippos, giraffes, and elephants. The kids had a great day even though it was sweltering outside. Vincent and Ocean both fell asleep on the way home (that hardly ever happens anymore!) The first week of August we took the kids to Saint Louis to see the Gateway Arch and catch a St. Louis Cardinals game. The kids had a blast... we had 2 rain delays, big league hot dogs, the game went 11 innings, there were 2 homeruns by the Cards, and the Cards won! We also got to sing "Take me out to the Ball Game" and the kids were introduced to the crowd pleasing wave!!! Incredibly fun summer, and not it's all business at school!!!!!!!!!

Finally, a way to keep everyone updated!

Well, as everyone knows in our family, we have a very hard time keeping contact with people. For two years, now, I have had this blogspot on my list of "things to get done"! Now, that Todd and I are both done with our graduate coursework, I find myself getting to tons of things that have not been on the priority list.

Please feel free to comment, e-mail us your info, and check in from time to time. We will try to keep this blog updated frequently, and keep it entertaining!

We look forward to hearing from everybody!

The last picture is of Ocean running into home during one of her softball games. Her last game is Tuesday, and we can't wait! We are exhausted!!

Vincent has really enjoyed baseball season. He is the catcher, and takes it very seriously (too seriously!). We have had to do a lot of parental talks about having fun, and how to take a loss! Since, I am not very good at losing, I think he comes by it honestly. This week he has his final tournament, and he is sure they are going to win the championship game!! I think Todd is more excited than any of us to end the season...Vincent insists on daily practices with him, so he's pretty tired!!
