Playing catch-up with a few photos before Grammy Eve arrives...

We celebrated Taya's birthday on Saturday with a
fantastic shindig at their place.

A girl and her (pink, plastic, pretend) axe.

Clare had her first soccer clinic on Saturday morning
and now she wants to practice in the back yard all the time.

Clare's first kindergarten homework assignment:
a flower with her photo on it for their "kinder garden."

Xander was more nervous than Clare for their first morning
bus ride to school -- but he helped her out and they both did great.

Someone is suddenly a big bike rider!
