1st week of school

Charlie had a really successful first week at school! We celebrated the end of the week by going to McDonalds for lunch. It was a real treat for the boys. Oliver is as busy as ever. I've been having to put him in my hiker backpack to keep them contain when we bring Charlie to school. It's pretty hilarious!  Jeremy got out of work early on Friday and we were able to go try out this German beergarden in town for dinner. They had live music which was really fun. Charlie starts his soccer this weekend...that really makes me feel like fall has begun!

Back to school

Well Charlie's starting preschool again. He's going to a kindergarten prep program that's 5 days a week. Even though it's half day it still seems like a huge change! He got a new hairstyle for the new year and really loves it!

After school today I got a call from another little boy's mother. She wanted to tell me that her son Alexander spoke so highly of Charlie. He said that when they were riding bikes, he fell down and Charlie came and gave him a hand to help him up.  Also when they were playing blocks, Alexander knocked his tower down by accident and was upset. Charlie gave him a hug and told him that it was okay, they could build it again. That's really what makes this mama proud.

Farwell summer

Well the summer has come and gone and I have not done any blogging. We spent most of August in Massachusetts with Noni & Grampy. That was a lot of fun! The boys were busy almost all of the time...beach, pool, backyard playing. It was like summer camp! We also got to meet our newest cousin Courtney who was born in July! We saw so many friends and family that I would overwhelm this site if I posted all the pics. Here are a few of my favorite snaps.
