Schools Out!

Let's just start this post with some before and after pics...

Here is Sister in September...just 6 months and crawling, cooing, and riding in her carrier.  

And here she is 8 months later!  Walking, saying words like circle, shoe, cracker, going down the slide by herself and riding in a big girl car seat! 

 And here is our sweet and funny little Peanut on his first day in September.

And now... an inch and a half taller, 6 lbs heavier, lots more vocabulary and a continued love of learning. 

Sister's class sings a little song about an airplane that we love so we made airplane favors to take to her friends on the last day of school.

And Brother decided to give something green and growing to his teachers.  He enjoyed picking out the plants and potting them himself!

 These were such fitting gifts not only because he has grown so much this year, but because the women who teach and nurture him each week are so beautiful like these flowers.

 We are enjoying the summer already with trips to the zoos, museums, parks, and playdates.

The relationship between these two continues to flourish and Best and I agree that our favorite times are when we catch them sharing a joke together.  We usually have no idea what is so funny but they can just crack each other up!  Favorite past times include: rolling on the floor together, stacking and crashing blocks, putting all our shoes in the laundry baskets, hiding under and behind furniture, driving cozy coupe cars on the deck and looking at books together. (and apparently picking clumps of grass...smile)



I can't believe after this summer Peanut will be heading off to Pre-school 3 days a week...gasp!  We are making the most of these days and this weather and I am so thankful everyday I get to spend with these kids.  Have a great week friends and family!
