August Happenings

Well now that we are back to school we are getting back into a school-year routine. Leah has loved her first two weeks of Kindergarten. We visit once a week at lunch time to help supervise the kiddos, and it is Wyatt's favorite day! The boys and I spend the rest of our days attempting to pack up the house to move, playing baseball, taking walks, discussing baseball, swinging, playing in in the sandbox, arguing about whether or not Wyatt can have another dessert, and unpacking the boxes I just packed up. :) Occasionally they take a nap at the same time and I get two loads of laundry done that day instead of one and maybe even clean something!  In the evenings, theyvlook out the window and wait for daddy so they can wrestle him.  Leah also started soccer, which is her first team sport. Poor Wyatt cant wait until hes old enough himself!

Leah's First Day of Kindergarten

Leah has headed off to KINDERGARTEN this morning!  She is very excited, and a little nervous.  I am very excited, and a little nervous too.  :)  Wyatt is bummed.  Every 5 minutes this morning he has said, "WHERE IS SISTER?!"  The I explain it to him again, and he says, "Oh, sister at school?  We pick her up?  Now?"  He loves her so much.

Exploring

We found a little Japanese garden to explore last night on our walk near the river. It was fenced in so no kids could escape and we had the whole thing to ourselves! We are soaking up the last days of summer vacation. Ryan has been back for a while, but his students start next week. Leah has kindergarten orientation next week too, and starts full time the next week. Yikes!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears! And a house!

The kids and I took a fun day trip with Grammy, Aunt Teresa,  and cousin Gracelyn last week. We spent an afternoon in Naperville at the river walk, visited our family, and then wrangled the children to bed. The next day we went to Brookfield zoo! Leah now hopes to be a dolphin trainer when she grows up. Wyatt wants to be a giraffe. :) In other news, we have made an offer on a new house and it was accepted! So we will be moving to the next town over within the month or so! Papa and Grammy Dainty came this weekend again and helped us with home inspection. We have been lucky yo see them several times this summer. Once I figure out where I stored our Tennessee trip pics I will put some of those up too.
