In August the boys started school. Brock is now in second grade and Theo started Kindergarten. We have awesome teachers this year and both boys are doing great and love school (almost as much as they love breaks:)) We have been so lucky to make great new friends through school and, of course, we enjoy having cousin Carlee there too. Here are some pictures from the first day.
Cory started a new job in August as well! I didn't take pictures of his first day:) This is a huge change for our family! He left his company of 11 years to take a Senior Planner position at the University (yes we work on the same campus!). After a lengthy application period, a four hour interview, and an agonizing decision to leave his other job, he is loving his new work! His new work schedule means no commuting and no traveling. This allows him to pick up the boys from school each day and just be around us more. More vacation and same holidays too - bonus! He enjoys his work and the department he is working in as well. Change is hard, but good!
Brock played on a flag football team this Fall with some of his friends from school. I had to talk him into playing (he is always hesitant and slightly skeptical that child), but it turns out he is a serious baller. Get him on the field and he is a maniac. Aggressive (too aggressive for flag football) and intensely competitive, oh and pretty darn good too. He might have inherited this intensity from his family - just saying. It was a blast to watch him and the other kids learn plays and focus on having fun (though they were all tallying every point - its fun to win too). The coaches were friends of ours and they did a great job with the kids. And the kid who didn't want to play at first, is now bothering me about the next season. He loved it! Here is my handsome football player:
