So many pics

My very cute boys at the carnival in the parking lot of Post Oak Mall in College Station.

Our family!! (aka our ComGroup!)
What a great action shot!!! Samuel had a early birthday/going away party the second weekend in November. He invited both of his classes, all of ComKids, his soccer team and the kids on the street. We had it at a park, played soccer games, ate cake and played on the playground. Everyone brought an unwrapped soccer ball or soccer gear to give to a toy drive rather than gifts. It was lots of fun and very easy!! :)

Samuel playing the soccer costume relay! Thanks to our wonderful ComGroup for coming and doing the games. It was such a huge help!

Jeremiah playing the soccer costume relay. He giggled the whole time!

The VERY cool cake I made for the party. It Rocked!! :)

The look on Samuel's face is priceless!!! He had about 40 kids come -- lots and lots of fun!

The view from my new breakfast room when I woke up on Thurs. morning after being sent to bed Wed. night at 11pm. Have you ever seen so many empty boxes?

Samuel with some of his classmates on his last day of school. They had a little going away party for him complete with cookies & ice cream. They got a school shirt and all the kids signed it -- very cute! We are really going to miss South Knoll!

The cake Anne made for our going away party Friday night. It was at the bowling alley and we had a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out. We felt very honored!!

I'm not sure I've found a better use for used packing paper than putting it on the trampoline and diving into it. The boys have had a blast!! Sorry Kristi -- it kind hurts seeing it after the hours of stuffing it into trash bags. Know that your nephews are having lots and lots of fun with it!
Samuel and his latest lego accomplishment. Brendan, he wanted to make sure that you saw this! It even has a motor and spins. Pretty cool, eh?

The cake is amazing!!! (Samuel's birthday cake, that is. The other cake is really cool, too, but I wanted to give you props for the cool soccer cake) : ) I'm glad you're settling into the new house. I can't wait to actually see it in person in December.
Love you!
