We're on vacation

They boys played army guys in the shot put area while we watch Nate at practice Watch practice from the top of the bleachers Nate taking a break from the first day of pads.

For years we have been taking the Roden girls, both the Texas girls and the Jackson girls for a little R and R. This year we have included the two Chicago boys, Ben and Neil - ages 3 and 2 - at Club English. The boys came here on Sunday and are going home on Saturday. It has been awesome. We work out, swim, play, have parties, watch movies, go watch football practice, and play with the dogs. They love their vacation (what we call it every morning). Yesterday Joanne and her kids came over for the day and tomorrow Busia, Papa, Al, Sarah and Kate are coming over to help celebrate Ben's 4th birthday before they all head home on Saturday. The other day Matt taught the boys how to do cannon balls - their new favorite thing.
