If you still hear crickets then summer isn't over. The crickets are chirping but school has started and we and the dog days are giving way to indian summer. The tomatoes have taken off and quickly overgrown our small impromtu plot at the new place. The kids have all started their respective schools and it is going as well as we can hope for with a couple of bumps. Ella is in cross country for the school, but the organization leaves something to be desired. Grace has started guitar lessons and working on her rock persona. Merrick is in the middle of his football season and has been named offensive player of the week three times and was able to lead the team cheer (I believe that we will win) after the last practice. Sophia is continuing to work on her gymnastics routine and will start competetions this fall. We were able to sneak out for fishing at our standard spot and then walked to a new ice cream place. It used to be a the house were the lock operator lived. Between the high wind and high temperatures the kids ended up wearing most of their cones. The girls had no direction to turn as the wind either blew ice cream on to them or if they turned their backs blew their hair into the ice cream. We did have storm come through that sent us to the basement...Merrick and Ella decided to be extra prepared. I don't recall why Ella has a mustache....everyday is a slumberparty mixed with a snowday at our house.
