Xander and Clare

Every sunny afternoon, just after school lets out, Brandon and Xander dress up
in their baseball garb and play in the street.

Grammy Eve and Grandpa Bill sent their annual Halloween goodies for the kids.

So much fun stuff! Thank you again!

Making funny faces with Mommy.

Xander is now a "star speller" in his classroom, and is taking the
2nd grade-level spelling tests. It's a challenge for him, but after a few nights
of practicing, he got 13 out of 14 right on his first test.

Most nights, unfortunately, Meowy sleeps in Clare's bed...

...while Clare sleeps on the floor. We put her back in,
and she climbs back down after we go.

First grader.

Clare listening to Teacher Caitlin read at goodbye circle.

Another of Xander's elaborate baseball stadiums.

The closest Xander will ever get to having his own dog. ;)
