Activities are back in full swing this week! Kai is back in soccer and enjoying it, especially as he is with Niko and Dylan on his team. He started off slacking and joking a bit as usual but our coach, Allen, seems pretty good this year and has been working hard to motivate all the kids. Kai has been picking up the pace and getting into it. The Vipers had their first game this past Saturday against the Hammerheads and lost 1-0 but seemed like everyone had a lot of fun.

| Is he smiling under that mask? :) |
Sora also started going to gymnastics with Noe. Again, it's nice that she has a good friend that she can go with to try a new activity. She really enjoyed it and is looking forward to going back. Too bad gymnastics is so pricey (more expensive than other sports) but who knows, maybe we'll have a Suni Lee in our family :p

| Looking very cute in her outfit |
Can't post about Kai and Sora without mentioning Jad. He hasn't been up to much except school but is learning his letters and numbers and manages to put on his shoes correctly about half the time..

| This one is still getting by on his cuteness |
Amy has started training more intensely for her half marathon in November. This morning she ran 5 miles and then sprints for speed. Amazing! I finally finished the climbing wall phase 2 at our house. It took months of planning and work (probably a more handy person could have done it in a couple weeks) but I'm pretty proud of it. The kids are enjoying it quite a bit.

| Yes, it's over the stairs.. don't worry, perfectly safe.. mostly :p |
 |
| Even Evelyn got climbing when they visited |
Which is a nice segue way into our sleepover. It was Yukari's birthday this weekend so the Shaws dropped off their kids for a sleepover and had time to themselves. The kids really enjoyed having their friends over and I think this was the first time, we had friends sleepover. They didn't even bring a Switch!
 |
In addition to climbing, the kids also took
a ride on the zipline |
 |
| Dinner time! |
 |
We even took a walk to Tim and Dali's and invaded their yard
|
 |
| Of course, they all wanted to sleep in the same room |
Lots of fun :) I'm glad we can do this for them and let them enjoy childhood with their friends.
Just to finish off, we also celebrated Amy's dad's bday this Sunday! The kids made a nice piece of art for him and we celebrated with David .. and cake!

| The big 74 :) |
Til next time..
