It's been busy here lately, but nothing too fancy-camera-worthy. Except, my Mom and I did take the kids to Houston to watch my nieces show their chickens...but I forgot to take the camera. "/

Anyway, we had a little stomach bug come through a couple of weeks ago, and it was bad enough to take Meredith down a notch. Fortunately for me, my Mom got the brunt of Meredith's illness. Yikes! I thought she was going to quit on me...it sounded terrible.

Poor girl.  She laid there for 3 hours.  :( — Poor girl. She laid there for 3 hours. :(

But she was back to her normal, crazy self in no time.  :) — But she was back to her normal, crazy self in no time. :)

And today was the kids' first soccer game of the season. Well, technically last weekend was the first game, but we missed it with our trip to Houston. It was also team picture day today. There was a new photographer this time, and she appeared to have it together, so I didn't feel the need to hover behind her and take my own pics like a total jerk. I'm excited to see how they turn out.

Josh tried to get this look to fly, but I nixed it.

Although he stays with his team a lot better this season, he doesn't tend to be very engaged.  Right before this I had promised him some ice cream if he kicked the ball...so he was on a mission to get at least one good kick in. — Although he stays with his team a lot better this season, he doesn't tend to be very engaged.

There are at least 4 families on Wallace's team that have another kid on the same team as Anna. The league must have done this intentionally. They practice at the same place and the same time, and their games are usually very close together. Today they were overlapping a little, so I missed the start of Anna's game.

Anna's found a new favorite thing to do...

In-bounding the ball.  :) — In-bounding the ball. :)

She pretty much doesn't let anyone else do it.

Yep...this is her big job.  :) — Yep...this is her big job. :)

I did catch her getting a leg in there at one point though!

She always makes time to socialize too...

So, they could keep their jerseys from last season if they wanted to, and this season they decided not to bother with numbers... So, you can tell who all is new, or maybe just who lost their jersey.

Anyway...although we've been busy, it's been nothing too exciting. "/ Just busy for the sake of being busy.

And I thought I'd finish off this post with another shot of Princess Meredith. :)
