School year 26-27 begins

So far the start to this school year has been pretty easy (knock on wood)! Sam was the first one to start, out the door for his first day of Sophomore Year at Conant High School. This marks his one and only school year without a brother at high school with him.
Isaac got braces just before he got started.
School pics for Sam!
We had a sleepover with Lauren and Sofia that also involved a trip to the dollar store!

And of course some bird watching!
Isaac started up his first day of 8th grade!
School pics for him.
Ice cream beggar strikes again!
Fun with pottery, featuring Sam!
Isaac's 8th grade band played at Septemberfest.
Mike began a "financial literacy" series with the boys, chatting about mortgages and budgeting.
Sam went to the Rainforest cafe with his girlfriend Alissa.
And Noah started his first day at Harper College with his girlfriend, Kae.
We stopped by Phil's reception/party.
And some of my dear coworkers, Susan and Natalie, just happened to be strolled through Katherine Legge Park!
Sam asked Alissa to Homecoming!
We did our annual pilgrimage to Fort Madison for the Rodeo!

All 3 boys came with this year!

Can't go to rodeo and NOT have cotton candy, right?!
The annual line up of all the kids. It took so more shorter this year, everyone knew their spot! Might be one of the last ones with everyone!
Naughty kitty in kitty jail!
And last night, Sam and Alissa went to homecoming!
Now we are ready for fall!
