We're back! Hopefully it won't be a two-month delay on the blog ever again! We've been busy with work, school, soccer, and family time!! Olivia loves 2nd grade--reading, writing, and math are all of her favorites. She enjoys reading about animals and taking notes on what she reads. She literally has scrolls of notes she has taken rolled up and banded together with rubber bands. She and Ben played fall soccer and had a good time with Dad coaching. Olivia has just started her basketball season. Ben will probably start playing in January. With the nice weather they have been able to shoot hoops a lot in the driveway. Olivia has also started taking piano lessons this fall---so far she likes it and doesn't mind practicing:-) Ben turned five in October (see pictures below), and he is really growing up. He is excited to be starting kindergarten next fall. He is learning a lot at Carrie's--he's getting better every day at writing his letters. Sam is becoming quite a character--walking and running at times now. He likes to play hide-and-seek with his brother and sister--he really looks like a big boy now since his first hair cut last week. He likes to go outside and basically GO anywhere. He has recently started dancing when he hears music--he's almost as good as his dad:-) If anything needs to be taken out of drawers or the refrigerator, Sam is our man! Enjoy the pictures from the last couple of months:-)
Olivia and Ben helped rake leaves---jumping in them and throwing them in the air before bagging them up. They still enjoy playing together and get along well (most of the time) :-)
Sam wasn't a HUGE fan of getting his hair cut, but he was a trooper. The whole family went, so he had A LOT of support:-)
By the end he was too tired to cry . . .
When it was over, he was all smiles:-)
