East Coast Judo Championships - Newark, NJ

Nate, we're so proud of you! You went 1-1 today to win the silver medal in the 4-6 heavyweight class. Once again, the Georgian boy found a way to knock you off balance, but we know you'll prevail next time! (Your yoga training seems to be helpful as you spent a while in headstand during the warm-up period).

No more training wheels for Nate

The first time Nate tried riding his bike without training wheels was on Memorial Day weekend. It went about how you would expect a first try to go. For the rest of the summer the bike sat in the garage with no interest from Nate in riding it again. Then, out of the blue, on Labor Day (and Dad's birthday), Nate declared that he wanted to ride his bike. Dad and Nate went to the empty parking lot at Orange Avenue School to give it a try. After about a half hour of practice with Dad running along side of him, Nate decided he would try on his own. When Mom and Ben came to see the progress, they were amazed at what they found…

A visit to Cranbury for Mom

On our annual trip to Cranbury we were able to attend a service in the United Methodist Church. This was the first time the boys saw the inside of the church we were married in 10 years ago. We also swung by Princeton for a walk on campus and ice cream at Halo Pub.

Hey batter!

Baseball campers @ Somerset Patriots

Nate, you had a great time with your fellow campers at your first pro (AAA-ish) baseball game. You had a great time singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" with your fellow campers in the 7th inning and also getting autographs before the game. Each time a player signed your ball - you went and signed NATE as well. Hilarious!

Ben, you had your first ride in the bumper cars (and Nate chased you the whole time). Nate, you went down the big slide 22 times and would have gone more.
