First Day of Preschool

It was tough to get a shot of the boys together on this, their first day back to preschool. Andrew did not want to cooperate! They are doing great and I am relishing in my few hours alone each week!

Haircut for Andrew

Try as I might, I could not keep Andrew still for cuts at home. He did much better for the stylist and now has a bowl cut which I never ever thought I would go for on my children, but it is so cute on him!

Labor Day in Lake Country

We returned to the land of our courtship for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. Bill has worked such long hours lately, he needed the break mainly to sleep and rest. We found a beautiful place and now plan to try for a week next summer!

Labor day (continued)

J testing daddy's reflexes! He loves to jump off the back deck.

Our house had a great view and sandy beach that was perfect for the boys.

I found this swim set at TJ Maxx this summer and it is great. One piece that wraps the stomach and back and then swimmies. We call it his "turtle back".

Yep. He is.... this is the way he wanted to be on the "beach". Can you imagine the sand!

More great ideas

I am so glad that I don't get to participate in so many of dad's great ideas. A couple of weeks ago he and J made it the whole night out in the tent. Joshua was so excited the next morning that he had slept outside all night (and I was so excited to have had the whole bed to myself!).
