Chris and Natalie Owen!
A year ago, Ben and I along with my dad and Carla went to San Diego to see the BEARS vs. Chargers. Ben and my dad love the Bears hence the Bears game. It was a blast. I love football and every aspect of the game.
Monday was the first day of school for Kira. She has been really excited about school. I have been very impressed with Kira so far. She is really dedicated to do her homework and reading everyday. She does have a little extra incentive (a new shirt), I'll do whatever works to inspire her to read.
Maci starts school next Tuesday. Ben, Leigh and I took her to visit her new preschool. She was hesitant at first but warmed up after 10 minutes. By the time we were ready to leave she didn't want to leave. That's a first. I'm hoping for that much enthusiasm when I drop her off next week.

Ben's favorite place on the ship, the ICE CREAM dispenser.
