| Taft was all set for Kindergarten when it came to reading. It's such a cool thing to see you kids learn to read! |
 |
| First Day of School! Taft's school starts at 7:45 but he likes to do Running Club so we're usually there by 7:20. It's early. I really look forward to the weekend when I don't have to tell anyone to HURRY in the morning. |

| Fall is a great time to visit San Diego. It's still totally summer and is usually pretty warm and perfect for the beach or in this case, the Legoland Waterpark. This watermark is perfect for the boys current ages. We love it! |

| We had two families over for Thanksgiving this year. We've been having the Thanksgiving with the same friends since living in San Diego. Another family joined in this year and it was great! We love this tradition. This was a little post-turkey WWF. 8 boys and only 1 girl between the three families. |
