August 14 - September 12, 2010

The end of summer is bittersweet. Around here we try to hold onto it as long as possible....even going for some late season swims as recently as today. (Our record breaking summer temps have made that more possible this summer.) It's been a month since I last posted and since then we've enjoyed fun around Raleigh, beginning of football season, and even one last visit to the beach. It's been a great month!

Digging sand and stones....construction is always a hit with Kyle.

Giving his biggest smile!


Helping with the yardwork.

Sorting shapes and counting to fifty.

Also great for dumping!

Making numbers with DoADot markers

Ready to shake it!

Airplane fun

Look what the chef's cooking up in the kitchen.

It's almost football time!

Kyle found the Winnie the Pooh costume we had put away for a long time.

Kyle graduated from his tricycle to a big boy bike during the past month!

July 26 - August 13, 2010

Happy 1st Birthday, Chloe! We had such a great time celebrating our niece's birthday down in Florida. Kyle loves her so much and we love seeing him with her. At the end of our week Kyle and I were able to spend a couple days with grandma also. What a great week we had in Florida!
First hugs!




Chloe gives Kyle a little push....
"Wait for me,Kyle!"

Aunt Maggie sent a fun sticker story book to Kyle...all about trucks and cars! Kyle played with this over and over. Thanks, Aunt Maggie!

Happy Birthday, Chloe!
