Honda Ruckus

We are having a lot of fun with the new Honda Ruckus. This thing is great.

Fantasy Football

Evelyn overheard me tell Kelley about my fantasy football draft. When I got done talking, Evelyn started screaming for joy and saying, "You're playing fantasy football!!!! That's so cool. When is your first game? Will we have to move?" After answering her questions and trying to explain it is not what she thought it was, she was still excited and ran upstairs to tell Emma (who was not as impressed).

First Day of School 2017

Today is the first day of school for the girls.  Evelyn enters 2nd grade.  Emma is moving to the middle school where she starts 6th grade.  It was comforting to know they were both excited for school to start.  It'll be a great year.
