I know, I know...I'm so bad at this...

Okay...So I really need some reminders to do this on a consistent basis. I do have good intentions and take pictures all the time with the intent on posting them on this blog...but I never actually sit down and do it. Well, now that the summer is (almost) over and the family is back into the swing of things, I'd like to do more updates. Here's the latest on us...

Cole started preschool on Sept. 8th! I can't believe the day really came, but it did and I'm so proud of my big boy. I ended up staying the entire time with him on his first day so he could get acquainted with everything and by the second day, he was off and running...literally! Here are a few pics from that historic first day...

Cheeseball!!!! :)

Fun with playdough...what's with the face, dude?!
So precise...
Mama helping the preschooler with his all-important cubbie page...
We decided to do our funny faces for the camera...YIKES!

Off to stamp art time... hmmm, which one should I choose...Cole's favorite part of the day so far...SNACK TIME!
"Hang on to the donut rope kids...
...because we're off to the park!"
Park time with his new buddies!!

Sand is so cool...Cole loves the swings...now...for so long he was afraid when he went in them. Now he reminds me (or his teacher) that he's slowing down. When she pushed him way up high, he replied with, "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" :)
Cole, Miss Anita, Miss Laura, and the rest of the kiddos in the class!
Circle Time!
What a fun time this is going to be! I'm looking forward to helping out in the class. I have signed up for about 6 days that I'll be helping. It should be loads of fun. And I really think Cole's going to enjoy the interaction with his buddies and the teachers!

Cole recently learned how to draw happy faces and this was the result of the first try on a page. I think it's quite good! :)

So there you have it...it's been a crazy four weeks! Emilie, Brice and I sang in a trio at church 2 weekends ago with the choir and had a wonderful time praising our Lord! We've had some good family evenings involving great food and fun card playing. We've enjoyed the nice weather we had last week. And we're excited to see what Fall brings to the table!
