Hello family!

Things have been busy since I last wrote. For one thing, the kids are back in school, which is a relief for Heidi in the long run, but is sure hectic for the first few weeks. Erin is in the 4th grade now, Alec in 2nd, and Jack is finishing up his last year of Preschool. Jack goes four days a week, for 1/2 day, but can't wait until he is old enough to ride the bus with the other two.

The boys are both playing baseball this Fall, which adds up to four practices and four games a week until the end of October! In addition, I am helping to coach Jack's team. Now "coaching" is a term that should be used loosely as it pertains to what I am doing, as I have never played organized baseball in my life. But Jack thinks it's cool, so that's as good a reason as any to do it. Both boys had their first game yesterday, and we've posted pictures here.

We went to Destin, Florida for the Labor Day weekend. We rented a condo with our friends, Brett and Amy, at SanDestin, and had a great time. We also took along a friend of Erin's, Libby, who has 5 brothers of her own. Needless to say, she handled Erin's little brothers just fine. Pics from the trip can be found here.

Best wishes to everyone.

Love, Dean
