Brawny anyone?

Yesterday was picture day at Poston.  Nate decided to dress as a lumberjack.  Thus ensuring that 20 years from now when his classmates look at their old yearbooks they will be saying "I can't remember that guy's name, but he sure was weird."
 At the beginning of the summer Nate somehow convinced me to let him go without a haircut until the second week of school.  Yesterday was week 2 and I was waiting with the scissors when our little logger came home.
 
Before
 After.
Notice he looks equally happy in each picture.  He's trying to come up with his own version of "Blue Steel".
And finally, Ivy has decided to take up the violin. A wonderful choice since our new neighborhood is over run with stray cats.  We plan to have her practice in the front yard and call her the Feline Fiddler.  JUST KIDDING!! She's excited to start orchestra and we are excited to go her recitals.  We will be sure to let those of you who are local know when the time comes so you can join us.

Summer wrap up

When we last checked in swim and dive season were ending and it was hotter than, um, you know, Arizona in the summer.
The dive championships left Eli with the honor of being 5th for his age group of all the master divers in Mesa. WooHoo!!
With all that daily swimming out of the way, Ivy was finally able to do something nice with her hair.
Just kidding. Karla was kind enough to give Ivy this wig. And boy are we glad. For a few days Ivy wanted to wear it everywhere, but because I'm not as kind as Karla, I drew the line at wearing it to church. But if any of you want to take Ivy and her wig to church they would love to join you.
At the end of July Sylvan, Ivy and I got to see Wicked with the Thomas'. It was our first time seeing it and we had a great time.
The last couple of months have been busy. We finally finished moving out of our old house last weekend and now we are trying to finish the work on our new one and get settled in. School has started and we are hoping to get into a routine. With any luck that means more regular posting here.
