August

August has gone be WAY to fast.  Overall the kiddos have had a great summer.  Lots of playing and growing up.  I think both of the girls have grown several inches over the summer.  It seems like every time I have time to reflect on the changes they have added another 1/2 inch or so.

A week or so ago Grandpa J came to stay for two nights.  It was great to have him stay with us. We got to eat some pizza at one of his favorites in town and the kids loved spending time with him.  Grandpa brought his buddy Hunter (his wirehair pointer) with him on this trip.  The kids have not been around many dogs but before we knew it M and M wanted to hang out with the dog the whole time.  Miss C it took a while longer....alot longer but before we knew it she was wanting to take Hunter for a walk as much as possible.  Here is a picture of her with Hunter.

Yesterday was a big day on Mulberry.  We now have two kids in elementary school.  Miss M was ready for the big 1st grade and was up and dressed before 6:30.  A little early for our house but she is always excited for all new adventures. On a side note, she has had her outfit picked out for weeks and was ready to dazzle. Miss C was excited but nervous for her first day.  She did make it out of the house without any delays and by the end of the day she was ready to go back for the next day of school.  Here are some snapshots.
