We've been working on Big D's Faith in God Award for Family Night lately. Tonight we wrote haiku's about God's creations or a gospel principal. Here are a few:
At eight years of age
Baptisms are done on days
Cleansed by sacred prayer
-----
Waves softly roll in
My feet are buried in the sand
Dozing off to sleep
---------
Without works it dies
As small as a mustard seed
It can move mountains
------
A great ball of clay
Circling among the stars
A witness of God
-----
Regret fills my heart
I promise never again
I know he forgives
-----
Vast open canyon
His creation is awesome
I know he loves us

What a good boy, am I!
We are still playing with nicknames: Mister Maser, Buster, Bubbers, BubbaGoo...Chubby. (Any suggestions?) At 2 months old he is bigger than some 3-6 month olds I've seen lately. Maybe that's why he sleep so well. O-Dog was a skinny little thing and the worst sleeper ever!

Soccer
O-dog is playing soccer for the first time this year and it's so fun and funny to watch him and all his buddies. Most of the kids are from our ward, our old joy school group and in the same kindergarten class, so they know each other well! It's nice to go as a family and support him. At least their games are pretty quick - not like baseball season!

End of Summer
The weekend before school started we took the kids to Dillon Beach.
One last hurrah.
We were joined by Grandma and Grandpa Lewis and Aunt Carrie.
There's always a little mystery as to what kind of weather you'll get on the coast in Northern California, but we lucked out that weekend and it was gorgeous. A tiny bit windy, but it gave us a chance to fly our kite, and it died down after a while. By the time the fog started to roll in, we were done and ready to go home.
We even managed to take Cooper on his first family outing. (if you didn't know, Cooper is the dog, not the new baby.)
The Baby did awesome, by the way!

School's in session
The boys started school over a month ago. Crazy how time flies! Miss P was a little sad about her brothers leaving so she had to get her picture taken too.
Maybe I should be a little sad about my kids being gone, but I am enjoying some peace and quiet and so proud that they are learning and becoming more independent - not that they ever had a problem with that!
