time for football

Joseph's first game was today! He had a great game. A very impressive carry, an awesome tackle, and 2 interceptions.

We posted a clipreel at The Joseph and Carolyn Blog. But I am a horrible camera person. I'll do better next week.

happy birthday carolyn

So, her birthday isn't officially until tomorrow, but we got a jump on the celebration this afternoon. My baby is 3!!

labor day weekend

Here are some photos from our trip to Virginia for Labor Day.

There are new videos posted over at The Joseph and Carolyn blog, too!

Carolyn's First Day

A few shots from Carolyn's first day of "Class School" (which is what she calls preschool). These were actually the day BEFORE her first day, when we went for an orientation to meet the teachers. She cried when I dropped her off, but got over it QUICK. By the end of the hour, she cried when it was time to leave.

a new olearfamilyupdate

Can you even believe it? An OlearFamilyUpdate? I know.

This is the weekend before school started, when we went to spend the day at the pool.

Then this is the following Tuesday when we went to meet Joseph's teacher and see his new classroom.Then, the next day he went off to SECOND GRADE! I of course put a note on his napkin.He was willing to give me a smile inside the car.Can you even stand how grown up he looks?

He asked us to come wait with him in the cafeteria before he went off to class. He loves having his picture made.

This is Carolyn sleeping off her ICK.
And just because she's cute, another one. And Joseph and Carolyn invite you to go see their new videos over at the Joseph and Carolyn blog!

happy father's day dad!
