OKTOBERFEST in georgia

Phil and I have been looking forward to going to the Oktoberfest in Helen, Georgia for months now. He found the website (http://helenchamber.com/oktoberfest.htm) and it looked great! HA...well, let's just say it was a waste of 2 1/2 hours of driving. We actually spent more time in the CAR than we did at the fest! What a shame. Oh well, we got to see the beautiful mountains and it was a great day for a drive, although it's tough to find gas around here these days. Here are some pictures from our outting.

Yes everyone, we have proven that Elvis lives! He's hiding out in Helen, Georgia!

The boys have started fall lacrosse with an organization I helped form closer to our home (West Forsyth Young Lacrosse Association). It's intended to be a feeder program for the high school once it gets up and running and we had a fantastic turnout for our first season. Some of you know that lacrosse is actually a spring sport so the fact that we've got U-11, 2 U-13, and 1 U-15 teams in the fall (competing with football) is fantastic! We've also already signed up close to 30 players for spring (and apparently have 40+ more football players interested) and our games for fall haven't even begun! Can you tell I'm excited!? Here are a few pictures from last Sunday. We had a Labor Day cookout at the field and parent/player scrimmages (by age group). Everyone had a blast! Go Wolverines!

1st day of school pics

The first day of school was August 11th so these are a little dated but I wanted to add them anyhow. The boys seem to be doing very well so far and are loving each of their teachers. Phil is adjusting to his middle school routine and I think he enjoys the fact that he doesn't have to crawl out of bed until 7:30am each morning.
