Soccer and swimming

We have been having a great summer. I can't believe Alex starts Kindergarten in two weeks. He is very excited! I had to be careful because for a while I kept saying how much I was going to miss him when school started, etc.. and so he would say "I'll just stay home with you Mama, don't worry. I don't want to go I'll just stay home with you". So now that I have kept my selfish thoughts to myself, he is definitely excited to go.
He has also just started soccer- we thought it would be good for him to be around some other kids and continue learning teamwork. It is going okay. He kicks the ball well with me and Chris around the house and at practice, but he's not really getting into it at game time. He is busy watching the kids running around and investigating the soccer field. Also he is such a talker that the last game he spent most of it with a little piece of wood in his hand he was using as a microphone and giving commentary on everyone else's plays (and telling them what to do). Oh well.. he sure is cute!















































And now to what he really loves to do....
Swim, swim, swim

Beach trip to Jekyll Island

We went to Jekyll Island again this year for the 4th of July and had a great time! Before we left Alex said he was not going to get into the ocean this year. As you can see from the video below, it didn't last long.
As we left Alex told us "Just say the word and I'm ready to go on vacation again". Sounds good to us!
