Catching up on photo sharing.

I've taken tons of pictures lately and haven't had time to share... so today I'm going to innundate you with pics.

Unfortunately, blogger doesn't make it easy for me to format pictures and text, so I'll give descriptions first... I know it's a little confusing that way. Sorry!

1. Asia and Gracie on our evening walk... we try to get out each night to let Gracie run. And boy, does she run. We are fortunate to have these huge playing fields at the end of our block where we can let her off the leash and let her go. Asia brings his phone so the kids can call if they need anything. Unfortunately, he ends up talking to his friends half the time. He is such a social butterfly - and unlike me, he doesn't mind talking on the phone.

2. Asia and the boys checking out the class lists at school. They post these the Friday before school starts. It's a tradition to walk over to the school that evening to see which teachers the kids got and which friends share a class room... it's a little nerve wracking, but always exciting to anticipate the year this way.

3. K. with the most money he's ever saved in his life... his goal this summer was to save up enough to buy a Nintendo DS Lite... which is a portable gaming system I really know nothing about, despite the fact that it is all he's talked about for the past three months. After months of lawn mowing and special chores, he finally had enough cash. He is now the proud owner of a very expensive white thingy that plays games.

4. The rest of the pictures are from the annual Labor Day free symphony in the park concert that we attend each year. There's no better way to end the summer and celebrate the first school night of the fall!
