Jack was scheduled to have his first flag football game tonight, however, it was canceled at the last minute due to some Brazilian soccer players taking over the field. Anyway, I managed to get a few shots of Jack and Tommy in their jerseys. The girls didn't mind leaving early - they really wanted to get back to trying to con me into taking them to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios (not in a million years, my prittys...).
He's here! Say hello to Reed Parker Terry, newest little guy in the Terry family, firstborn son of Sean and Lisha. He was born yesterday, 9/25, and weighed in at 9lbs, 2 oz. Congrats to all, and we can't wait to meet you, Reed - see you in 17 days!
The kids are hard at work with their next film project. This picture is rumored to have a Halloween theme - something about the toys coming alive and scaring everyone.
Big day for the Willis... he started preschool today! He will be going on Tuesday and Thursday mornings - he went in today, headed right for the toys, and didn't look back! His teacher, Miss Aura, said they will be painting, playing at the water table, and maybe even do some shaving cream-finger painting today! I think he is going to have a blast!
**UPDATED... blast was indeed had! There were two pictures that Will painted hanging up in the classroom, and his teacher said he had a great day!
Today the kids took the bikes to the street for recess. I have been experimenting in my digital darkroom - lately I have been enjoying blowing out the colors on my shots... I think it is a cool effect, although I am sure I will change my mind after awhile.
We were this close to ripping one of our new pear trees out of the ground - every single leaf had turned brown and fallen off, and the thing looked about as dead as can be. Then, a few mornings ago I looked out the window and saw one little white flower blooming on one of the branches! Upon closer examination, we found many many buds on the tree. So I guess it is alive after all! This guy seems to think so as well...
**BONUS TRIVIA QUESTION: The title of this post is a classic quote from a popular 80's sitcom. What is the name of the show, what character said it, and to whom?
