Caitlin is back to school at St. Michael as a big first grader. She is busy with cross country, soccer, and school. We are taking a tennis break for now, since we have plenty of other extra curriculars. She celebrated her seventh birthday in style at Juju Beadz. The girls got to make necklaces and matching earrings, eat pizza and cake, and act like giggling seven year-old girls for two hours. It was so fun, but exhausting.
Carson has had some really exciting times over the last 6 weeks. We met the train engineer from the rail line that goes behind our house. Mr. Parish stopped the train at the back of our house to let Carson get on. I will get that video footage as soon as I transfer it to the computer :). Carson got on and made the train whistle sound and the lights go on. It was a very exciting day.
Carson also has figured out how to go down the water slide as well. It is great to see him enjoy the fun with the rest of the swimming population. He learned to swim without his "bubble" at the end of pool season too.
Carly is our daily challenge child. She is sweet, but has a nickname of "HOUDINI." She has a secret way to manuever in and out of any place she wants to go. She finally has more teeth coming in and a new mode of transportation, her feet.
I savor every moment with them, since my oldest is 7... UNBELIEVABLE.
As for Jason and I, we are greatful for his mom to be back at home. After a horrific bicycle accident she sustained multiple injuries and spent 6 weeks in the hospital. Jason is trying to make a trip there in late October to help her continue her healing process, and visit with his dad.
Enjoy the photos, we enjoyed the MOMENTS!
