Piano Lessons

Noah started piano lessons last week and is enjoying it so far.  We happen to have an old electronic keyboard that came from Leon, his great-grandfather, that will give him some variety as he practices.

Lucy Diane Pawlik

We welcome the arrival of Lucy who was born on Friday, September 15, at 5:43 PM in Austin.  She weighed in at 6 lbs and 4 oz's and was 19 inches. Mom, Dad and big brother are all doing well.  Jacob's smile alone signifies his approval!

Freedom

We think Jacob has been secretly waiting for this day for a very long time.  The boy has an unparalleled streak of independence running through him. We took the training wheels off the bike and it didn't take long for him to get the hang of it.  One trip around the track with Dad hanging on to the bike and then Jacob took over.  He did a few laps around the track and then disaster.  No, he didn't crash on his bike and hurt himself, somehow he managed to get just far enough off the track in just the wrong place that he punctured his tire.  That's how fleeting that freedom can be sometimes.  Nevertheless, we are happy to report that after a quick trip to Walmart and one patched tube later, Jacob is back on the road to freedom.

More Swings

Even good old Frankenstein (our Playscape) has been getting a work out these days.  The swings have now come into fashion and are used on a daily basis.

Swings

This is one of Noah's favorite activities.  Not only the act of swinging but jumping off the swings is even better.

When the call went out for help on Saturday morning, Jacob was quick to answer that call!

Canopy

Jacob was amazed that the canopy was gone at school, a casualty of Harvey.  He was happy to smile and pose for the picture with his new backpack!
