Day 254 - Sunday, September 11, 2011 – We spent the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 at Liam's football game. Other than noticing that the flag at the stadium was flying at half staff and reflecting briefly on "where I was when" (sleeping with my newborn, my sister calling shortly after the first plane hit, spending the rest of the day glued to the TV as the horrific drama continued to unfold), it was pretty much an ordinary day.

Day 249 - Tuesday, September 6, 2011 – First Day of School, already?! Where did the summer go?! As sad as we are to say goodbye to summer, I have two out of three kids who are thrilled to be going back to school. Jordyn is looking forward to, as a sophomore, no longer being the low man on the high school totem pole. Liam is looking forward to, as a fifth grader, ruling the elementary school. And, Owen, as a second grader, is already looking forward to Friday.
