Autumn has arrived!

Fall is always a busy time of year for us.  Back to school, soccer, Jason is busy with his end of year things for work. It all works out to many busy days and weekends.  Thankfully Jason found it in his heart to volunteer to coach Soccer this year and we are so grateful!  He is proving to be quite the coach and the kids love him.  We are 2-0 but whose counting and the kids are learning every week and showing off their new skills.

We had a great game last Saturday and we have practice tonight. Abby is also starting Girl Scout's today too. It's going to be another busy year for us.

It's that time of year for us to submit our picks to the Detailer.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that we actually get a something on our list this year.  Here are a few pictures from the soccer game this weekend.  Go Hornets!

First Day of School

Today was Abby's first day of school. She is officially a 2nd grader!  I personally have a hard time wrapping my head around this. I remember bringing her home from the hospital like yesterday but I guess as a Mom that is a memory I will always have with me.  Yesterday we went up to her school and met the teacher and she got to see who was in her class.  Thankfully she knew a few of the kids so that put her at ease.  She was excited and ready to go back but this morning a case of the nerves set in.  Once we made it out to the bus stop she was fine.  The bus arrived only a few minutes late which is great because last year it never showed up on the first day!  Hopefully this is a sign of how the year will go, smoothly!  

We had a busy summer and now our busy fall is starting. Jason is coaching Abby's soccer team this year and this Saturday I am competing with a group of Coast Guard Wives in the annual Beast of the East, Mud Run. It's a 10k ( 6.2 mile) running/obstacle course and yes there is mud.  I keep telling myself that my skin will look radiant after this!
