What a difference a year makes!

School Daze...

Well school has started, and as promised here are first day of school pictures.

Life has been flying by- its hard to believe that it is almost the middle of September. The kids are doing well.

Emily has been learning her letter I and the letter U, she is writing her name and is trying to spell every other word, which is great, but gets a little bit frustrating when she wont tell you what she wants rather she expects you to understand that nonosbd means napkin, or milk or whatever else her heart desires. Silly girl.

Caleb is quite the monkey- he loves to be outside picking raspberries and blackberries and grapes and really anything else that he can find to eat outside. He loves playing and has started teasing and wrestling with his sister. He is very easy to smile and will giggle at some of the strangest things, but that is what makes him so delightful!

Thank you Uncle George and Aunt Linda for the cute outfits! The kids love them and they are absolutely adorable.

Feedback?

Hey all-
Wondering if I could get your feedback on the blog, what do you like? Not like? When do you all visit the site? I really would like some feedback so I know that I should keep updating and posting on here!

Things are going pretty well, we are getting ready to start school and dance classes and daycare.

Emily is pretty excited to be going to preschool she is counting down the days! (I will post first day of school pictures next week). She is turning into that sweet little girl that we have been missing all summer. What a girl, she is so helpful with Caleb, and so loving to everyone. She still has her squirty side to her- but without it she definitely wouldn't be one of my kids! She is going to be starting dance classes taught by my childhood teacher, the teacher also asked me to come back and do Ballet again....haven't decided if I will or not, but I would definitely love to start again.

Caleb is just having fun exploring the world. He can often be found on top of the kitchen table, or on top of the slide. Last week he almost made it to the top of the bunk beds by climbing up the ladder. What a monkey! He also loves water and will find it whether it is a wet spot on the driveway, sprinkler, or full fledged puddle! He has really gotten into teasing everyone, and loves to play hide and seek . Its fun to watch him and Emily play chase and to hear both of them giggle. He also started dancing by turning circles in the middle of the floor.

(yes his feet are off the ground in the picture)

Hope all is well with everyone. Congrats Dan & Jess and welcome baby Penny.
