So is anyone surprised that Ben can beat me at any GameCube game? Yes, he's all of 3.5 years. Maybe he's a boy genius...or maybe I'm just a slacker mom who lets him play too much. I'll go with the genius option, it's much more fun to think about! Hey, maybe he can figure out why I can't get my new memory card to work! Then I can post more pics!

We're loving the coming of Fall! Highlights so far: Dave traveled to Alaska for a Boys' weekend fishing trip and caughts many large fish for us. My hunter-gatherer has fulfilled his duty! The kids started school again--hooray! Haylee went off to Jr. High with excitement, Tanner begrudgingly entered 5th grade, and Tyson happily returned for 2nd grade. Ben can start preschool, but I'm just not on the ball enough so didn't get him signed up! I'll begin to work on that now that I have some time to think...
