Here’s a couple pictures of Ash in his Halloween garb for this year. He was a pirate ghost from Garfield’s Halloween.

Ashlin is participating in the Rec. Board K-2 soccer program. They meet every Sunday for about five weeks. Today was the first practice. Here are some pictures.

Ashlin has been adjusting well to school. Aside from some morning grumpies and a few small incidents on the bus with a troublesome child (who is not allowed to sit with Ash any more), Ashlin has really enjoyed going to school. He is always very happy to get on the bus and tells us about all the fun things he does.
Since he’s been in school he has been testing the boundaries of independance at home which has been a little of a trial for us, but we appear to be through the worst of that (though the I’m not going to listen to what you are saying) has been creeping up a lot. I’m sure I said the same thing to my parents many times, so I’m not too worried.
Otherwise, things have been very busy. I have had a lot of work to do on the comic and Heather is at the really busy part of the year for her work, before the volume dies down and after the other bartender leaves. Hopefully things will stabilize in the next few weeks.

Well, it finally happened. Ash is in honest-to-goodness school now. We drove him in for Transition Day yesterday (kind of a “moving up day”), and all was well. No one cried! We were very proud of ourselves. He had many things to say about his first day of school, and hopefully we’ll get him to make a post about it. The classroom is a big open space between two rooms, and the two teachers do cooperative work with both classes most of the day, except for specials. Ash knows a bunch of the kids in his class from Headstart, The Kid’s Place, and playgroups from long ago, and seems very at ease with the whole thing. Oh, and he has an X-Men backpack, and a lunchbox in the shape of a racecar.–Mumma

Ashlin’s famous, well not really, but his picture is up on the local book store’s Web site. You can check it out here at Mr. York’s Book Shoppe. We are regulars at the books store. It opened this year and is one of the few places open after six around us.

Monday we went to the Blue Hill Fair. This years fair was loads of fun. Ashlin was able to go on rides by himself and we all had a great time. We also got to ride the giant ferris wheel as a family. Here are some pictures.
