Happy 6th birthday to Owen!

We continued the Smith family tradition of the 'birthday door' with Owen. Oh, to crash or climb through?!

Corn maze

A beautiful fall day to go apple picking and get lost in a corn maze! Literally, we never did find the way out!

Boots!

Fall = boots!

First day of pre-school

Grace has started pre-school! 

There were some tears and requests to "cancel school" the first day, but she came home happy and excited. 

Big brother gave some advice, support and love to little sis. 

 They're going to have a great year of learning

and fun! 

Gracie's pledge

First Day of Kindergarten

Owen has been so excited to start Kindergarten and ride the bus to school, and finally, the big day is here!

Grace wasn't so sure about sending him off and asked all day when he'd be home.

Someone's excited.. Owen and his buddies ran to the bus stop!

First bus ride

And they're off!
