The Best Key Lime Pie I Ever Had

First Soccer Game

Today was Zach and Isabella's first day of soccer with the "Bulldogs." They are playing with a YMCA team. They had a lot of fun. They figured out pretty quickly that Isabella likes defense and Zach likes offense.

Zach and Xander take a break.

A good action shot of Isabella trying to get back down to the goal.

We were there for the game but have no idea who won. :-) The kids didn't seem to care at this point- they just had fun playing the game!

Xander's play time

Playing in the living room... he is one happy kid.

He loves to swing with his brother and sister.

He really loves to eat watermelon.

He loves to play with Zach and will crawl all over him.

Here he was getting in to Mommy's things and had a blast doing it.

Here he is at Zach and Isabella's soccer game.

He loves to steal those glasses and play with them.

Here is a quick 5 minute video that explains our ministry with Global Short Film Network.

Some fun pictures

The kids have lots of fun playing. Isabella and Zach play very well together and they like to play with Xander too. He is still more of a lone explorer, but he has fun laughing with them when they try to entertain him. Xander is now totally mobile and loves to go everywhere. Isabella received the fisher price play house from her grandparents back when she was tiny and all three kids have enjoyed playing with it over the years. Xander loves is now and will spend lots of time playing in and around it. He also loves to get under the end tables and go for the cords- or pull stuff off the end tables.

First Ice cream cone

Today we celebrated Xander's 9 month birthday by going out for ice cream. He can now have dairy, so we thought he'd really enjoy it. His reaction was not what we expected:

Sooooo good, but soooo painful!

Happy 9 Month Birthday Xander!

If you've been watching the blog, you've seen pictures every month on the red couch. Each month we put him in the same spot so we can see the changes over time. This month, it was just a bit more challenging....

Let's hear it for the long line of slobber and those cute teeth!

Here we finally got him to pose for the 2 seconds it took to snap the shutter.
