Andrew's a first grader

Andrew started the first grade this year (holy cow time is speeding by) and like the rock star I am I don't have a whole lot of pictures (in my defense it was basically the first time I had to leave my house with 4 kids and I had to have everyone ready cause we had to all get out of the car and walk around to show Andrew where to line up that I was a bit overwhelmed before I realized I hadn't taken one picture) So here are few of him lining up to head in for his first day.

Berkelees first day of school

Berkelee is in her second year at Miss Angies and she loves it. We are learning the sounds of letters and counting to 100. She always says mom I can count to 100 and then around 37 ask whats after that oh ya quite a few times and she is quite the letter detective (Miss Angie sent home a kit and she finds letters and draws a picture of what starts with it then we talk about the sounds it makes) she is just too cute.

The Zoo

On labor day we took our kids too the zoo (where we learned two important lessons 1. don't take your kids to the zoo on a major holiday cause everyone else is too 2. Four kids might be too many kids to take to the zoo) but they had fun and everyone took a great nap afterwards. Sarah helped me take a couple pictures cause my hand are always full so I thought I would share

Our fun new feature

Like I said before I got a fabulously fun new camera and it takes video (bonus) so I ttok some cute videos of the first day back at dance for Miss Berkelee. Oh and don't worry I did it through the double mirror so you can see all sorts of wonderful reflections that make it more fun.

Andrew's Karate

Andrew started taking karate and he loves it. He had a belt promotion at the end of August (I couldn't figure out how to upload everything, sorry) so here are some pictures, and even a little video or three of the event.

Andrew dancing at school

Andrews teacher sent me this clip the other day and I must say I was so proud of him. He isn't usually one to step up and dance or sing, so I thought I would share. Enjoy

Berkelee is four.

I can't believe she is four :( Time goes by so quickly once you stop wanting it to. But she had a fantastic birthday yesterday. Sadly I don't have any pictures. Our camera is having issues so I had to send it into the manufacturer (great timing right, Berkelee's birthday, Berkelee and Andrews friend party and Andrews birthday are all in the next couple weeks grr)We are so grateful this little darling in our family. She has grown so much in this last year, I can hardly believe it. We love you so much our sweet little lady.
