Lottie
Here's just a sample of Lottie's continued cuteness.
She lives out in the woods now, but she comes to the house daily for socializing and for almond butter.

Katie's Soccer Season
Katie moved up to U12s this year and her coach said on her stat card about her: "Katie is a seasoned soccer player and the preferred starter at right defender. Provided outstanding defense all season. Improved considerably in speed, attacking the ball, and filling in gap on defense."
How her sisters sum up her season is:
Sister, "Hey Katie, what was the score?"
Katie, "15 to 0."
Sister, "Who won?"
Katie, "Umm, I'm not sure."
Katie's caoches have forgotten to pressure the kids about winning, it seems.
Laura's Championship
It's tough when you're the photographer of the family because then there are no pictures of you playing soccer.
Such is the case with Laura.
Her team also went all the way to the top of the James River District and won the Championship. However, they also happened to be undefeated all season!
Laura is also #14. She's in the back row, tallest but for the coach in her normal uniform, and with the coach's arm around her in her tournament uniform.
Laura plays defensive mid.

Murphy's Darn Law
I've been having a burned out feeling about homeschool lately. Probably because Katie's not consistently "getting" two digit or higher multiplication.
Big Dan gave me some sage advice on facebook yesterday: "Don't worry, even the worst procrastinator eventually learns double digit multiplication!"
However, I'm a little weary of the sameness of each day's scholastic activities.
I also have parties and practices every night this week, followed by a two day soccer tournament involving two who will be playing and two who will be watching and cheering, and Dan has to work through the whole event.
What better time to open a cabinet and spill 300 doxycylines all over the kitchen?
