September, really?!?

I feel like I begin each blog post with an apology for not posting more often.  Today is no exception.  We have a lot to catch up on! 
The play, Wizard of Oz, was awesome.  Drew was a munchkin, member of the Lollipop Guild, and a flying monkey.  Sterling Civic Theater is a class-act, all the way.  They have open auditions, allowing anyone who wants a part to have one.  We practiced a lot, (Aunt Joan too!) and Drew made it in 4 of the 6 performances.  Opening night was a no-go, but he rallied back and performed the rest of the weekend like a champ.  We had so much support, especially from Lauren, Simron, Hannah and Amanda.  All of the kids were so sweet with Drew, and he LOVED being with kids his age.  They helped him onstage, calmed him during meltdowns, and entertained him in the downtime.  My favorite times were in the cafeteria, between scenes the kids were in.  There was a lot of that time--kids running around, playing, being kids.  There is talk of doing both 'Legally Blond' and 'SchoolHouse Rock' this Winter.  I am hoping for 'SchoolHouse Rock'.  We will definately check it out.

Kate's birthday weekend at Terri's was super fun!  It is always a wonderful time.  Drew and I got the flu and were well taken care of by my sisters, but other than that, it was fun, fun, fun!
We grilled out, swam in Terri's awesome pool, went for walks, went to the River Park, Went on a Pontoon boat ride in the Calibogue Sound.  We loved just being with our family.

YOU should be here!

Fall means FOOTBALL season!  We are well into the season for Morgan, Connor and Brendan.  Morgan is a kicker for her varsity team, Mott Marauders.  Connor is QB for his freshman team.  Brendan plays for 6th grade St. Anne Eagles.  Jim coaches at Seaholm.  WHEW!  That is a lot of football in one house!  We enjoy going to the kids' games and cheering them on when we can. 

Now that it is almost October, I have to think of a good costume for Drew for Halloween.  Any suggestions, Blog followers? If there any even left!!! LOL

I hope you had a great summer...we sure did.  I am looking forward to a fun-filled Fall. 
Drew says: ROCK ON!
