You must have been a beautiful baby because baby look at you . . .
at you now! Mer is 11! Time flies when you are . . .
in 5th grade! Over five feet tall and growing like a weed, reading a ton of books, a real beauty queen, ice skating, training for a 5K run, earning all A's (I think), going to girl scouts, playing Webkinz, participating in drama club, taking flute lessons, going to church school and hanging out with all of your friends! :)

SCORE!
Will made his first grade soccer debut this afternoon. He scored the first goal of the season, the first goal of the game and the first goal of his soccer "career"! His team, the Okemos Mudsharks, tied the game 10 to 10. What fun soccer is on a sunny fall Sunday afternoon! Go Mudsharks! Let's hope for a season of more sun than mud. :)

Back to School!
Mer and Will had a great first week back to school, I think. Reality will set in when they have to go for five full days next week! Just ask ME who has been back for nearly three weeks. Next year we will all be on the same school calendar, at least I hope so.
Meredith has a teacher who is new to the building, he is young and male. I think that it is going to be a great year. How could it NOT be when you have the elementary school version of a rock star as a teacher!?? (translation: male teacher at the elementary level = rock star)
Thoughts about school from Mer? So far she doesn't have much to say but I do notice that she is taking great care in what she wears to school each day. (Sorry Mer, Mr. S. is too old for you.)
I can't help bursting in song, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" Answer: I sure hope so.
Will was exhausted last night. He could barely stay awake at the high school football game of all places. His reports about first grade? The bathroom was flooded, Peter and Blake got into a fight, then lied about it and Gillian (his favorite gal pal) from kindergarten met a new girl in their class who has brownish-red hair (Will's details) that "Gal Pal" thinks she wants to be friends with, but they don't know what her name is yet. Note to teacher and self: Perhaps Will shouldn't be sitting next to Gal Pal in class? What kind of conversation was Will having with Gal Pal, "Hey, Gal Pal, what kid do you want to be friends with? The girl with the black hair or the boy with the yellow hair?" Gal Pal to Will, "No, Will, I think I want to be friends with the girl with the brownish-red hair."
Oh! And he has student teacher in his classroom, Ms. H. but . . . he has no idea of what her first name is. Hmm . . . I hope he doesn't think that if he knows her first name he can call her by her first name. OR perhaps he will call her tall, way too skinny, young and cute student teacher with the yellow hair? (Bad, bad MOM)

Baby Will!
This is one of my all time favorite pictures of Will. He is sitting on the back porch of the library on Mackinac Island POSING (as always) for the camera.
Happy 7th Birthday Will!
Time certainly flies when you are having FUN! And FUN is what Will is all about. Will must be the happiest, most easy going little boy around. He is always on the move but he smiles, TALKS, skips and sings all day long. His smile and sweet talking ways are hard for anyone to resist -- especially MOM. Will, you are the apple, strawberry and banana of my EYE. Happy Birthday to you! :) I can't believe that you are going to be a fabulous first grader. Watch out world, here he comes! (Ready or not!??)
