I love this picture because it's the combination of two of Connor's favorite things: reading and interacting with Caleb.  This was a book about snakes that Connor had checked out from the school library that day. Caleb was enthralled with the book as Connor read.  Sweetness.

Little Ballerina

 Kylene finished her first session of ballet yesterday and overall really enjoyed learning "ballets" as she calls it.  She had a wonderful teacher in Miss Jennifer and all the little girls were darling to watch.  They learned various ballet positions and terms and 3 dances to different songs.  It was so fun for me to take her and watch her having a good time!

First Feeding

 "So you say we're going to try this cereal thing huh?  I'm not so sure how I feel about this."

 "Mom?"

 "Dad?"

 "Okay I see where we're going with this.  I'll take it from here guys."

Pretty Princess

Kylene got to attend a Princess Birthday party a few weeks ago.  She makes such a lovely princess.

First Day of School!

 Connor started 1st grade at Washington Woods Elementary.  His teacher is Mrs. Dammier and she is fabulous!  Connor come in the door after school every day and either says, "Today was a great day!" or "This was a fun day!".  He loves riding the bus and is becoming a great little reader.  He's a tall, lean machine and seems to be enjoying all things related to being 6 going on 7!

Kylene started Preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Christ United Methodist.  She loves this experience and happily trots off each day.  Her two teachers are Mrs. Veech and Mrs. Mroch and they exude sweetness.  She has an awesome new Hello Kitty backpack that she is very proud of!

5 mths

My sister photographed this sweet little face while his was trying out his new Johnny Jumper.  At 5 mths Caleb is such a JOY!  He smiles and laughs and chews on everything in sight!  He looks at us with the most loving eyes.  We all swarm him whenever he's awake.  He's an official thumb sucker (his left thumb) and cries right up until he's laid in his crib.  He finds that thumb, his eyes roll back and those lids flutter closed.  Melts my heart every time.

Pool Time

 My sister Ashley was visiting with her kids last week and captured all this fun at the pool!

Connor does a mean cannon baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!

 Kylene and Zach were hilarious jumping off the side of the pool holding hands.  Their belly laughs each time were the best!
