Is anyone out there?

Yes, I know, I am sure that no one is reading anymore except for my Mom who informed me that a girl in her office keeps a "Dog Blog" and adds to it EVERY DAY!!!! I do have 4 kids though, so I hoping to start working this into my schedule more often.

I thought I would start back easy by just posting some pictures of Elijah's soccer games. His first game they had had only one practice. One sweet little girl on our team scored 2 points...for the other team. Oh, well. Eljah though is really catching on. He got the ball several times and almost scored a goal.
Game 1
Throwing the ball in

His favorite thing: digging the ball out of the net.

He kept forgetting he was supposed to be playing the game, so he rested his arms on his head.

Getting to the ball

Game 2

Hustling to get the ball (he was much more aggressive this week)

Kicking the ball in

On top of this, the rest of us are doing well. Bella will be going back to Ballet tomorrow after the fun few days with no electricity caused last week's to be cancelled. Lydia is getting wilder and wilder. She's learned to jump with both feet off the ground and loves singing "Itsy Spiderman." Ellie is still army crawling, but has added pulling up to her list of skills. Also, I must add that so far she is the most skilled of all the kids at the "getting down" part. No free falling backwards for her!

Elijah's Spiderman cake...I didn't make it! :(
