Thanksgiving 2008

The entire (although not so large) Brees clan gathered at Lolly and Pop's house in Augusta, GA to celebrate Thanksgiving. Jeremy and Emily drove up from Tallahassee and we ate more than any other family.

Soccer Season

Simon played soccer for the first time this Fall (2008). It was the micro-league where the kids spend as much time falling down, chatting about a stick and other (more interesting) pursuits than kicking the ball into the goal. Still it was quite fun to watch and coach.

Simon and Coach Daddy off to a game.

Kicking the ball.

Most of the team couldn't wait to stop playing soccer so they could play with this little marble game built into the play gym. Figures.

Wine Tasting

A few pictures from our most recent wine tasting.

Halloween

Simon wanted to be a ghost this Halloween. He was scary.

South Dakota Pheasant Hunting

My (Jeb) GC took the Commonwealth team and some others on a pheasant hunting trip up near Clark, SD in mid-October. It was a great weekend of hunting, poker and manly fellowship. Here are a few snapshots from the trip.

Simon's Gold Star Day

Simon's gold star day. The camera ran out of batteries so we don't have as many pictures as we'd like.
