For the second straight fall, O and his DEFC Atletico team gave it their all during soccer season. With a fully staffed up team, they got to work as a central unit throughout the season. On to winter training!
Football Highlights
For the first time, both boys played flag football. Colin and the Arlington Bills sought a fifth Super Bowl title, but came up just short in the title game. And Owen, on a new team, made it all the way to the semifinals during their first run together!
Record Breaking Halloween
We did Squid Games this year, inspired by the Stags’ Cooperstown team pins. It was a record-breaking Halloween, with C raking in nearly 20 pounds of candy in an all-out sprint around the neighborhood. O ventured out near our old house with his friends and was decidedly more relaxed – though got a respectable amount…
Fine Number Nine
It’s birthday season, with O soon following C. His friend party was at home with some sports video game battles, pizza and cake. Monday birthdays are never fun, but we made the most of it with presents!
A Teen in the House
A teen has entered the chat! What seems like moments ago entering the world, C has moved to the next tier of adolescent development. He had a typical long fall Saturday filled with sports, with plenty of fun treats in between.
Cox Farms Forever
The boys let us keep going, so we headed out to our favorite fall festival during the October heat wave. It was the 10th trip for us! There were new slides and adventures to be had, to add a little extra fun to the visit. And, cousins made it even better!
Growing the Family
After years of pestering, we finally broke down and got a pair of kittens – Zoro and Phoenix. The boys took a little time to get acclimated, but now they’re just part of the crew!
Back to School!
Just a couple days after we got back from Iceland, it was time for school! The same schools meant familiar places and faces but new teachers to meet. Everyone was up early and excited for the year to begin!
A Wrap Up of the Rest
From puffins to lava to horses to the Blue Lagoon, there were plenty of memorable moments outside of Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and icescapes galore.
