First day of Schools!

School is here!  Noah is now a "grader" as he calls anyone beyond kindergarten.  Amazing to believe he is starting 1st grade.  This year, the Friend's Central bus picks him up every morning right from home.  He still does "PPU" (Parent Pick Up) in the afternoon.

You are going to learn amazing things this year.

Noah is waiting for the bus.  Even Sophie was excited for him and came out to wait with him.

Have a great first day Noah.  We love you.

Waiting for Mom to pick him him.  Looks like he had a great first day, doesn't it!?

Sophie started school as well.  This is her first day at Temple Sholom pre-school.  Her teachers are  Gladys  and Micah.  She was really excited.  She brings her own back pack  everyday with a clean diaper and a snack.  She was really excited to go..  

Noah had a off school on Sophie's first day and got to help drop her off and show her where he went to pre-school  as well.

This is during her "Zumba" class

Taking a little break from the Zumba

Summer is over and fall is here.  Stay tuned for school and summer adventures!

Sharks and fun

Sophie is Mommy's little girl, and loves the art of shopping!

"I caught me!"

This is one of the best times of the day.  Noah still loves reading and being read to before bed.  We are still reading "My Weird School" books, and we all hope they never end.  

One little Phillies fan!

Noah and Kira wrestling.  We think. 

Sophie is getting ready for bed.  She rarely goes anywhere without Maggie these days.  And a little milk before bed. 

Noah's lego ships and getting cooler and cooler all the time.

A little silly fun outside. 

Last weekend, on a rainy Labor day weekend, we went to the aquarium.  Everyone had a ball.  Glad we didnt' meet this shark at Ocean City

Underwater kids!

Noah only stool under that sign for 2 minutes.  Can you read it?  There is a tree with  over his head with a bunch of birds. 

Shark bait!

But the real things!

Surfer dudes!

What a great time!  

Sarah's Shower

There was a Shower for Sarah last week, and we got to go to Danbury for the weekend.  There was lots of fun stuff to play with. 

Sophie helped Poppy get around.  This was the week before his hip surgery.

Sophie was sharing her milk with Poppy too.

Poppy and the kids...

Sophie had so much fun she just wanted to dance.

But the weekend tired everyone out.  Congratulations to Sarah.  Good night everyone.

Night night....

Back Home

It was hard coming back from vacation, but the we're back home and doing lots of fun things.  Noah loved the "Science Guy" who was at Linvilla Orchards.  He was picked to with this experiment using dry ice and some tubes, and some other things....

And of course he got to make slime!

Meanwhile our little cowgirl was out riding the ponies!

If you look back at the blog last year and the year before, Noah used to love to ride this train at Linvilla.  He still likes it, but he has gotten so big.  What a difference a year makes.

Then on to the Ponies for Noah too.

We picked up some corn at Linvilla.  Sophie has munched it to the cob!

Cooking

And Rock Star Sophie!  

We had a great time

Poor Sophie didn't get enough attention on vacation (you think?) 

Nanny and Sophie had breakfast together

Brown bear, brown bear...it's time for bed.

Lunch on the beach.  Turkey and Sand Sandwiches.

Hi Ah-Lo (that's Sophie-talk for Auntie Laurie).

Noah is playing a little poker with Poppy.

Hey buzzing bee.

Noah was pretty excited to get a tattoo.  

Noah and Ben were good sports.  They got on this ride to take Sophie.  Then Sophie decided very loudly she didn't want to go on the ride.  So the boys were a little bored.

Great times....
