September 2011

I don’t remember much about September other than it was still really hot.  I am definitely still adjusting to Florida weather and it not getting so cold.  Believe it or not by mid-October Ga was actually pretty cool.  Its November here now and the kids are still wearing shorts some days.  Part of the reason everything is such a blur is because we are expecting baby #3 at the end of April.  This baby took more out of me the first trimester than my first two.  May explain why I am so far behind on the blog posting ;-)

August 2011

So, obviously it’s the end of November and I am just getting around to posting August, oops.  I guess you could say we’ve had a busy several months getting settled into a new house again.  The kids started new schools, new activities and new therapists.  Dan started school at UF and likes it a lot so far.  We have also painted a couple bedrooms and worked on the landscaping.  In August Mimi came to visit and we went to the UF Butterfly museum and the Santa Fe teaching zoo.  The kids loved both.

First Day of School

 

 

 

Amelia started cheer, tumbling, and ballet.  Ballet is by far her favorite, so much so she takes her ballet clothes to bed with her sometimes.

 

Alex is doing karate and likes it a lot.

July 4th Weekend

We were lucky enough over July 4th weekend to have Aunt Sarah visit!  The kids had such a blast with a new playmate and she is super fun to hang out with.  The kids had their first experience with poppers and sparklers.  Alex was really good with the poppers, Amelia not too much.  They were both hesitant about the sparklers but really got into them after a while.  Also, Dan convinced me to take them to the fireworks for their first time and they absolutely loved it.  There was lots of oohs, aahs, mommy look!   daddy look!  Amelia still mentions occasionally that “fireworks to boom.”  Amelia the linguest she is says “oh mommy, they are sooooo beautiful,” complete with a sigh.
