You might notice by the picture, that we added a new member to our family. His name is Emmitt. He is a 2 1/2 year old lab. He is really great with the kids and they love him. His previous owners just didn't have the time for him. Our two cats aren't sure what to think, but they are all getting used to eachother. We also now have a goldfish. This was a reward for Joseph (and before we got emmitt). We are on Bob 2, Bob 1 and Goldie didn't make it. First Bob, then Goldie. It's been interesting. I think one was sick when we bought him.
Joseph is playing his first sport. He is playing Fall Soccer. He had his first game last Saturday. He played so hard and did well. We are very proud of his effort and what seems to be natural talent for soccer. He made a goal at his first game! I wish I could have captured the look on his face after he made it. It was very sweet. He was happy, proud and suprised all at the same time. :)
Joseph started Second grade last week. It is much calmer at home with me and Jackson. Jackson and Joseph are really good kids, but seem to get crazy and wild when together for too long. ;)
I am so excited for Fall, I'm looking forward to nestling in with my family and lighting candles. :)
Last thing is I'm really looking for motivation to start kicking this weight. Any encouragment or tips would be appreciated. I know what to do, but feel like I'm just wandering around with no direction or plan. I feel as if life is just passing me by. It's like I'm a spectator in my own life.
Well, I am going to post some pictures and then try to keep up on my blog. :) Hope you are all happy and well.
