Kickball!

I was asked to play with the Dirty Mama's at a tournament in Corpus this past weekend. It's been about 15 years since I've played in a tournament...at least the corpus kind! We had a great time and I'm so glad I went. We won our first 3 games on Saturday. Lost our next 2 on Sunday. We ended up in 3rd place out of 14 team. Not bad! I wish the lady ninjas had the comradery of the dirty mamas. It would make for some great times!

It got pretty chilly and very windy Sunday. The kids are sick today! I'm not sure if there is any correlation...

Mom was in town today and we didn't want to let that go to waste. We took a quick trip to the pumpkin patch and the kids painted small pumpkins. Chicken noodle soup for dinner! Here's to a fever free Tuesday.

Start of a new school year...

My goal is to update this blog at least every month, but hopefully every week.  There are just a few family members who refuse the most common source of social media, facebook.  That is where I do most of my "blogging".  But, dad, I hope this is a way you can keep up with my kiddo's in between visits! 

A quick update...

Abby started 2nd grade at Naumann this year!  Her teacher is Mrs. Zaharias and she really likes her.  She is different than her previous teachers and I think it's going to be a good year. She is about to turn 8 years old.  CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?  I sure can't.  It seems like just yesterday we were begging her to start walking. (Boy were we dumb)

Luke is 10 months old.  This year has been such a whirlwind.  He is a wonderful little boy.  He makes us laugh and smile almost every second.  He sure loves his big sister too.  He is working on standing by himself.  He seems pretty content just crawling around so I don't see walking happening anytime soon...and we're ok with that.  (We aren't dumb this time around!)  Luke's a mama's boy, I have to admit.  I also should admit that I love it!  Abby was very social and loved being around everyone, it didn't always have to be me.  Maybe it's the difference between boys and girls?  Who knows.  

Like I said, I'm going to attempt once a month!  This is for you, dad. =)

First day of 2nd grade

Welcome Luke Edward Boyle...

On November 18, 2011 at 10:30 in the morning we welcomed Luke Edward Boyle into the world weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long.

Our hearts and souls are filled with overwhelming joy.  We have truly witnessed a miracle and are blessed to be a family of 4!
