All in all it was a good day. 2009-10-10T13:02:13-08:00 http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/soccer_sundays/ http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/soccer_sundays/#When:12:54:57Z Jonathan has been playing soccer again this fall.

Some people say that you learn everything you need to know about life in kindergarten. So, I thought it would be fun to ask Jonathan what he learned this past year. 2009-06-13T22:29:12-08:00 http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/riding_without_training_wheels/ http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/riding_without_training_wheels/#When:23:14:53Z Jonathan asked me to take the training wheels off his bike this weekend. 2009-03-15T23:14:53-08:00 http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/our_new_fishy_friends/ http://thesolivas.com/index.php/blog/post/our_new_fishy_friends/#When:11:14:02Z Here is a photo of our new fishy friends.
