How can it be that I have not posted in over a month? It is unbelievable how quickly time flies once we pass Labor Day. I feel like we hit Labor Day and next thing I know it is Christmas Day. This is always the best time of year for our family... We are finally able to be outside and do something other than sit in the pool or under the misters. We are excited to decorate our house for all the different seasons. We are excited to start cooking and baking again because it is not 120 degrees outside. We love this time of year... and this year is no different.
We are now fully entrenched in school and activities with the first report cards coming home this past Friday and conferences being held. We are thrilled with how well the kids are doing... they are adjusting well to 2nd grade and kindergarten and we hope the rest of the year continues to go well for them. Little One has also reached a major milestone... she has all of her "baby" teeth... we are still awaiting the 2 year molars but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and our happy baby has returned again!
We are now on Fall Break and looking forward to some fun this week... The beginning of the week we seem to be booked solid with playdates and activities. We leave on Thursday to go to Mum and Pa's for a quick visit and to pick up our new addition Boomer. We are excited to hang out with Mum and Pa and help Pa celebrate his birthday early. We are also so excited to finally get our puppy and bring him home. We have been preparing for lots of months and the time is finally arriving.
We finished decorating the inside of the house today for fall and Mike is working on the yard and winter grass. Hopefully this week we will finish decorating the outside of the house and get it all ready for Halloween. Then it is on to Thanksgiving which we are having here this year... excited to spend time with family and friends and just have a nice and hopefully cool day. Christmas will also be spent here and the kids are already making their lists for Santa. Just really hoping Santa has a WII Fit somewhere in the North Pole! :-) We are excited that Mike will have 2 weeks off at Christmas and New Years and looking forward to all of the wonders of the Christmas season!
So, kind of a lame post but just wanted to let you all know we are still alive and kickin... just much too busy for our own good. But, we are thankful that we have such a great little family here that is getting ready for our favorite time of year. We will post pictures of the new addition later this week...
Happy Fall everyone!
