Catching up with the Stuttses

It has been a good seven weeks since I've posted. What's been going on? School! Work! Life! Soccer! Family! Fun!

I'm teaching an online course at Texas A&M this semester (Multicultural Foundations of Education), and pretty much any chance I get to be online, I'm working on that course.

Last Saturday, we went down to Seabrook. Here's Galveston Bay from Pine Gully Park as seen with the fancy panoramic function on my camera. Notice the newly rebuilt pier! Braden would NOT join the family picture at the edge of the pier, but here are the rest of us. I was about to leave to run the four miles back to the house on the trails, which is why I'm dressed for running. Looking at this picture, I really notice how Kyle and I have aged...the wrinkles (mostly me) the gray hair (mostly him). Gosh, where did the last ten years go?
Cutie patooties! Here are Garrett and GrandTom walking out on the pier. I love this picture!


Garrett is pointing to the waves. Notice the little green Matchbox car in his right hand. He's been carrying it around for several days now.




Playground buddies!



Braden and his daddy. Braden did NOT trust us near the edge of the dropoff to the water. Like we would scare him or something...





I love this picture! What a fun-loving boy! Hard to tell from this picture how very moody he can be!




Spring soccer is underway! Here is the the Spring 2010 version of the Hurricanes (minus one sick little boy). Kyle and I are again coaching. Braden is collapsing on his good buddy Zachary (Braden says they "fell like dominoes"). Braden and Zachary have known each other since they were three and in the same daycare class. We have to be careful to keep them separated on the soccer field (one plays, one is on the sideline), otherwise silliness ensues. Notice a pouty Garrett in the background. He really wants to play. Next fall cannot come soon enough for him!









Braden really enjoys soccer and has no interest in any other sport. He isn't the star of the team, but he is a pretty decent little player.
