School park fun...

One of Brent's best ideas--lately, because he has a lot of them--was getting Gavin this awesome, new kite for his birthday. I love to look at Gavin's face when he's flying it.

I got to take it for a spin too and experience, firsthand, how cool it really is. It reminds me of flying a kite with my dad and my brother when we were little.

Gavin and I were playing a little soccer that day too, and Daddy was the photographer.

Gage doesn't seem to mind the grass at all. I seem to recollect that Gavin was a lot more tentative about it.

Mama and her boys! I am so thankful for all of them. And for all of you, too, by the way. (I'm writing this on Thanksgiving, so I'm reflecting a little bit about things I'm grateful for.) It's very fun for me to hear people tell me that they read our blog. We do a lot of this for ourselves (we publish the blog every year in the form of a wonderful book), but it feels extra special to know that we have friends and family that take the time to read about our lives.
