Soccer Monster - Game 7

My little girl was an animal in this game. In the first quarter she scored 3 goals! Last week she was rather timid and distracted but in the this the second game of the fall season she was a lean mean goal scoring machine. I took some video as well as pictures so as soon as I have the video clips ready I will put a link up.

Meg and Jackson Pollock

I found a great website for creating paintings like Jackson Pollock (click here). Meg had a great time creating art on the site. It is wonderful because it is very simple a straight forward. move your mouse around to make splatters and click to change colors.

I have made this my computer desktop now because I just love this picture. It captures one of those gleeful moments that it seems like like only a child can have. I remember the day well. We were going to the opening football game for Purdue's 2004 season. The various spirit stores around the stadium were competing for customers. Follet's had this inflatable obstical course that Meg took to right away. She had to of run through it 100 times!

First game of Fall - Game 6

This Saturday was the first game of the fall season. Meg didn't really get into the game. Her team has a little problem with kids not showing up so they had to take a member of the other team to field a group of four. Maybe next week we will have more players and Meg will have the Mia Hamm thing going like the spring.

Zach in Lake Michigan

This Labor day we made a trip up to Great Grandma. The weather was amazing despite the dire predictions of various AMA certified weather men so we were able to get into the water each day. First day first beach. It was a bit windy and the water was freezing so we were mainly putting our feet in and playing in the sand. Zach put his feet in and then fell in the water and got all wet. He then stood up and ran out of the water while laughing and saying, ""I deep! I go deep!"" This played out over and over all weekend long just solidifying that we have a little ham on our hands.
