All three boys were very well behaved at Matthew's benefit dinner at the Elks Club. Bradley didn't stay the entire time. He went to a local high school football game with his cousins. Steven had a good time talking and playing with his cousin Courtney and his friend Megan. Matthew was just having a blast visiting with all of his friends and family. He was so surprised to see so many people he knew. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out. It means a lot to us.

I took some pictures of the boys tonight in our back yard. We didn't stay out there for very long. The bugs we all over us. With all of the rain that we have had this summer the mosquitoes are horrible! I can't believe that they are still out. I'll try to take some more pictures later this week. Hopefully the bugs won't be as bad.

We had a pretty big visitor in our back yard last night. This cute deer was just having a snack. The picture isn't the best because I didn't want to get too close and scare it away.

First day of School

It was "Back to School Day" for the Cech boys! Bradley started 7th grade, Steven is in 4th grade and Matthew started preschool. Everyone had a good first day. Steven also got braces yesterday. His mouth is a bit sore.

MDA Telethon

We went to Vermont today for the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Terry, Bradley and Matthew appeared live for an interview. The interview wasn't as long as we expected it to be because the emcee didn't have a copy of the interview questions. It still went very well and the kids had a fun time . Steven and I didn't appear on TV. We were a bit too nervous with the whole "LIVE" thing.
