Happy birthday to Jack! August brought us Jack's 14th birthday, the end of summer, the start of soccer and tennis seasons, and the start of school, 8th grade for Jack and 10th grade for Ella.
jack spent his birthday with a day at sports connection and sleepover with noah brown. | complete with publix football cake | we brought friends up to the quarry for a fun day. | ella and kylie (not pictured: jack and his two friends, will and austin) | love how olive's sweet brindle comes out when she's groomed. | jack played off-season league this fall (his club team will now play only in the spring due to high school team's fall schedules, even though jack's not in high school yet) and his hodge podge team were finalists in their first tournament, up against some teams who play year round together. #gojack | ice cream at bruster's, a last day of summer tradition | ella's first day of her sophomore year of high school which starts so early her pic is in the dark (and notice the huge tennis bag she has to lug to school each day) | jack's first day of 8th grade--last year of middle school! | high school football game (we were working concessions with the tennis team parents) | girls' night out to see orchestral maneuvers in the dark (omd)!
