Shake It Up Bunny, Corduroy's Party, Five Silly Monkey's, The Foot Book, and My Dad ....

.... are a few of Julian's favorite titles to have read to him ... over ... and over ... and over ... and over ... --- ok, you get the idea. Jules loves being read to. I'm particularly biased towards My Dad --- where I'm "the roughest, toughest, biggest, strongest dad in the whole jungle!" Sounds good to me little man, sounds good to me!

It's been a busy Fall 2007 around the Wa-Bish Household. Jake had his Sweet 16th (Happy Birthday Jakeypoo!), Jesse has been killing it in the classroom with Aces High across the board and on the football field where he plays an Urlacher brand of middle linebacker.

Faithe is playing 'classic soccer' in the U-11 Premier League. Faithe is learning a ton and can now juggle the ball over 26 times in a row. We are all having fun watching her progress and play against such great competition week in and week out. She has seen the US Women's Soccer Team as well as the Women Pilots of UP play this fall. Her team SSC Trinidad is making plans for a Spring 2008 trip to San Diego (Donnie/Eric? who's with us?) to compete in the Nomads Tournament. More excellent competition and great memories!

Annie and Julian are doing great. Annie is enjoying her mommy time and runs a busy ship with kids coming, going, coming, going. It's exhausting all that she does, and is truly the engine that makes it all go round! Who woulda' thunk we'd have a 16 yr old and a 13 mos old. Life is great! Julian is getting swole at The Little Gym once a week where he has structured play time with about 12 other 12-18 mos olds. It's a total blast to watch them play and look at one another with their internal monologue saying "hey, that's another little person ..... hi little person, my name is Julian, I'm little too." Soon enough, soon enough! He's growing up too quickly.

I've been busy at the office, getting back on my bike and into the gym (the big boy gym) to lift weights and "do" yoga with Jake. We are both enjoying that very much. Our Blazers started back up this past month and pre-season action is upon us. The boys and I are pretty stoked for the regular season to get underway. If we don't answer our phones, you can bet your benjamins were at the game.

I've uploaded new pix from the past few months for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
