Well summer is over (well, technically we have another week). It's bitter sweet for me. I love summer and I love fall but fall means that winter is right around the corner. And I must be honest, I do not like winter. Even after 8 years of living here you'd think I'd get use to it....but I haven't.
Okay, enough of me whining....I should be enjoying the fall. We've had a couple of teaser type weather days where the air is cool and crisp (ahhhhhh -unpack the jeans!) and then a day or two of heat and humidity. The girls' schedules are in full swing and we are back into "school year" mode.
Zoe started her last year of preschool and is going three full days per week. We signed her up for a combo dance/gymnastics class which she loves. We also signed her up for a 5 weeks of soccer through the Parks & Rec. in our town. I have to admit, watching 4 year olds play soccer is hysterical (in a cute way of course). The kids just run after the ball while the parents are cheering their kids. Zoe did great for her first soccer experience. She chased the ball, kicked it twice and ran her little tushy off. Afterwards she said, "Mommy, that was absolutely fun!" And so it begins....I am officially a soccer mom.
I also signed Lily up for some classes. We are doing 4 weeks of Itsy Bitsy Yoga Tots and Music for Babies. We started the yoga class last week....it's interesting and cute...I'll leave it at that. And music starts on Tuesday....I'll keep you posted. I'm sure she'll love it. She "dances" or sings every time she hears music.
Lily is turning one a week from tomorrow and I have to admit I'm kinda sad about it. She's likely our last kiddo and thinking about how fast this past year has gone by just blows my mind. I love the baby stage and I'm going to really miss it. But I also get to look forward to all the fun milestones she will encounter this next year.
I've posted a few pics from the past weeks and will post a link to all the photos soon. Thanks for visiting.
Happy first birthday to our sweet Lily flower! It's amazing 
that i
t was just a year ago today that she was born. I REALLY feel like it was yesterday....cliche, cliche, cliche, but true. Steven and I were lying in bed last night remembering the night I went into labor and the exciting events that followed. I'm so thankful she was born. She has brought such joy, fun and laughter to our family unit.
Lily! We love you!
