videos of Lucas playing soccer, random fall events...

Lucas's friend Jawad took friends to the Gopher game for his birthday - lucky us!

And Lucas's good friend Asha came along too.

Wisdom Day at Lake Country School. It's every fall on the first day all the students are at the school ( the jr high goes on an Odyssey the first 2 weeks of school). All parents are encouraged to attend - it's lots of singing, a short speech by the principal, and then the oldest child carries in the youngest child on her shoulders, followed by each classroom as they sing Funga Alafia. It is so kum-by-ya and I love every second of it. I cry every year. 

Lucas entered the school and on his way to his classroom
