Annual Asilomar Retreat

Our annual fall trip to Assilomar was awesome! Iain loves the grounds there and is becoming more accustomed to exploring on his own (within sight of his parents, of course). While Jim and I participated in an insightful and fun class, Iain read, listened to music, danced and explored the great outdoor.

We took walks, played at the beach, laughed a lot, got silly and enjoyed great food! I love having a place that is so familiar to our boy as he has been there every year of his life. He is always so alive and full of joy in places like this!

MYSA Game 1: Sharks vs. Jacktone

First game of the season and the Sharks dominated the field until the other team built a blockade in front of the goal. LOL. Iain scored two goals and was excited to be on the field again! There are no winners and losers in U6 but the Sharks definitely won that one! :-)

Tired Soccer Scowl

After a long day of school followed by a hard soccer practice in the blazing Modesto heat, Iain was hot, tired, hungry and in no mood for smiling. But I still managed to capture the perfect picture! I love this--it's classic!

Color the Skies 2011

Iain joined his friends Noah and Cooper for an early morning pancake breakfast and hot air balloon launch at the Color the Skies Festival in Ripon. After the launch the boys ran in the Kids Fun Run and each earned a medal! Iain loves to RUN!!!
