Goodbye ladybugs. J will miss you. He has grown fond of your kind these last few months, but rest assured, I think he'll be ecstatic to see you next year.

 Goodbye outdoor toys. B will miss you. He loves to race toys up and down the backyard with his brother, but we'll find a way to make it work in the snow. Toboggan races anyone?

 Hello new toy of Daddy's! The boys are enamored with all that you do and will surely be asking to have more time to play all of your games with Daddy.

And hello homework! Jonah's first assignment is a poster about himself. A family photo was required, and since we don't have any since Benett was 5 months old (better fix that!), we took our own. I am quite pleased that this was our first try!
