We have had a busy few days. Yesterday, we signed Maggie and Luke up for gymnastics. They’ll start their classes next week.

The two of them are constantly jumping off furniture and somersaulting around the living room. We’re hoping that gymnastics will help them to learn to do these things a little more safely, while burning off some extra energy at the same time.

Of course, this could completely backfire on us. Their new-found confidence could turn our couch into a balance beam that they use to launch themselves on to the ceiling fan.

It really could go either way.

Adam has his first soccer game next week. I’m so excited for him. He’s really enjoying it and does a great job following the coach’s instructions.

The kids got a very special back-to-school care package from my friend Shannon. They get super excited about any mail, but a box full of cookies was a really fantastic surprise.

Luke had a follow-up appointment with the ear, nose, and throat doctor today. Everything looks good with his ear tubes.

Maggie had a blast spinning around on the doctor’s stool as we waited.

These last several days have really worn her out though. She crashed as soon as we got home and stayed that way until we woke her up to go to Adam’s soccer practice.
