Jack's 1st day of 4th grade

Benji's 1st day of 3rd grade

Gavin's 1st day of 1st grade

All I want for First Grade

is my 2 Front Teeth

Cannin

I'm tired, my feet hurt, I *should* be in bed because tomorrow I have to stand at the god-awful state fair for nine or 10 hours on my feet. But I'm happy, and I'm awake; because I'm cannin again.

9 pints of tomato sauce in the books for 2016. I hope the other plants do some heavy ripening so I can add pasta sauce and salsa to this pantry haul.

Jack is 10!

How has he already seen a decade of life??

The brothers are just as excited about these gifts

Skate Party
