Last Day of Summer!!

Today is our last day of summer before Maddy starts 1st grade! She is very excited to get back to school and see her friends. She can't wait to be a 1st grader. We got to go into her school last night and meet her teacher and see her classroom so that was really fun and her teacher seems very nice. She has a few friends in her class from last year, so that will be great as well.

We have had a really good summer --- I am actually a little sad to see it go (even though I love Fall and the cool weather it brings!)

I think Colby and Maddy will miss each other -- they had a lot of fun together this summer and now that Colby is a little older they interact and play together more than they ever have....

Relaxing and watching tv:

2 1/2 Years ......

.....and this picture pretty much says it all!! Colby had his half b-day yesterday and is now 2 1/2!! He is changing so much everyday and is still a very curious, active, talkative, fun-loving little boy! He decided to start the morning off by getting into my mascara and putting it all over his face :-)


Next we celebrated by going to Colby's first movie in the theatre, The Smurfs. Really the movie was more for Maddy (and me, I'll admit, I have been wanting to see it :-)) Colby did pretty good, although there were 30 minutes of previews, so he was ready for a couple of breaks before the movie ended.



It is pretty amazing how much Colby has grown this year and improved in his communication skills. He is pretty much talking non-stop and is so friendly and social to everyone he meets. His favorite things right now are dogs, bunny rabbits, Barney, and playing "tickle monster". He also loves to play outside, ride his scooter and mow with Jeremy. We have had a great summer!
