Soccer, Mother's Day, and a Lost tooth too

Hi there!! Are you ready for this post?? Time to get caught up.  So much has happened over the last couple of weeks, I'd hate not to write it down.  First of all Soccer ended. Jack and Max played their last games a couple of weekends ago.  I will miss seeing them play.  They both had such great seasons.

Jack was the youngest on the team, though you would never know it.  He has great ball handling skills.

He had wonderful coaches and lots of friends on his team, which makes soccer even more fun.

Max really shined this year.  I think they won their last game 7 to 0.  I love this picture of him.  You can just see him reading the situation before he goes for it.

He really enjoyed having Doug coach his team.  Doug has become such a great coach.  He really did a great job this season.

This is how Super Luke spends his time at the fields.  I think I may let him play next season.  We'll see.

We also celebrated Mother's day.  At this house that means breakfast in bed.  This year was strawberry crepes with a presentation by Meredith.

Somehow the evening turned into backyard mischief.

My one request for the day was that I get a picture of me with my kids.  I didn't even make Luke change his soaking wet clothes. This is how I'd like to remember us.  Just a snapshot from a moment of a life full of busy little bodies.


Doug also caught these two in rare form.  I'm hoping they can stay best friends for more than a couple of hours in the future, but we take what we can get. Maybe putting this picture on the wall would help to remind them.


Another big event happened on Mother's day.  Jack had been wiggling a loose tooth for weeks.

It finally wiggled out on Mother's Day.  We helped it a bit.  It was barely hanging on. The other tooth had already started to come in behind it so I tied a piece of floss around it and had Doug yank it out, with's Jack's permission of course.

He lost his First tooth.  The tooth fairy was nice and brought him $2.  Everyday he comes home talking about how someone in his class just lost a tooth.  He was very excited that now it was his turn.

I have a few more things to share but it is past my bed time so they will have to wait. Good night!
