Since my last post we have started to say good-bye to summer (thank goodness!). The heat is still very much with us but signs of fall are here. Walker started his 3rd grade year on Monday. He is very excited to get back into school and seems to really like his teacher. In years past, Walker has been in fall soccer, but this year he has decided to take a different extracurricular approach by taking karate and violin lessons. He will be busy indeed, but I think his year is shaping up great.
In other school news, Barrett AND Evie start "school" next week. It’s actually a mother’s-day-out program, Barrett’s been in it since he was Evie’s age, but now both little ones will be at TCC. Barrett will go four mornings a week and Evie two. Barrett loves school and I’m sure Evie will too. And you might guess that I like them being in school, too. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my babies but I like my free time too:-)
In other news, tomorrow is our sweet Evie’s first birthday! Someone asked me if I could believe she was turning one already and I said yes, only because she walks, runs and climbs like a 2-year-old. But actually her first year has gone incredibly fast, which is a little sad, but only a little.
In honor of Evie’s big day, I present you: The many faces of Evie
Giving me they "eye". I think I caught her trying to do something she wasn’t supposed
to.
The question of every day, "Evie, Honey, what’s in your mouth?" Sometimes, like above,
she’ll prove she’s got nothing to hide.
A cute picture of Evie but also a very telling photo. You may ask, "where are the sofa
cushions?" well, I had to remove them because Evie feels that the sofa is a jungle
gym and with concrete floors, it’s just not safe. Safer, yes. Attractive, no.
Proving she’s big enough to push her big brother around a little, in a toy car, that is.
the jungle gym, I mean, the sofa
