Yesterday I had lunch with Elizabeth and Joey at school. Unfortunately, I
forgot to get a picture with Elizabeth ๐ The chicken “O’s” were pretty
good.

We had a fun afternoon with family and friends at the parade. The kids walked away with bags of candy, pencils, and other items.

My favorite, the marching band
Elizabeth and Joey were very excited today for their first day of school. Joey was especially excited about his first day of kindergarten.

We met the kids at school to take them to class

Joey is a tired boy after telling us, “six and a half hours is a long time” ๐

The final family weekend at the cabin for the season was a relaxing one. The weather was all over the map so we only had a little water time on Friday and had a great time sitting in the sun between showers on Sunday along with a fun visit to a corn maze ๐
Last weekend the kids and I spent some time with the Hollahan’s and some of their friends. The kids all got along great and had a great time together.
The “Kindergarten Kid” aka Joey is pretty excited to be riding the bus with Elizabeth, having school lunch, and recess. He is a proud boy right now ๐
Elizabeth is very happy to have her previous computer lab teacher as her homeroom teacher this year. She is a little nervous that not many of her friends are in her new class but is encouraged that she will have new friends.

They went down for the day to visit Uncle David and Aunt Stephanie. They told me that they had a great time ๐
We had a couple quiet summer weekends at home with friends and family. We watched Twins and Vikings games on the deck with friends, had family over for a couple of meals, took a trip to the mall, stained the deck and play set, and attended a family reunion.

This is a couple of weeks old but Joey had his last T-Ball game. I enjoyed watching my little bud play. Just like going to the Twins game a couple of weeks back, this is something a Dad dreams of for his boy.
Mixed in here are some pictures from an earlier game with Joey’s buddy Nathan.
Intimidatingย at the plate ๐
Solid hit
Magic Johnson was a guest speaker at our leadership conference and ended with a Q&A. After a few very good questions, I simply asked, “Magic, can I get a picture with you?” and he had no problem with it. It received a good laugh by the crowd and started a trend with the folks that asked subsequent questions ๐
