Autumn has arrived!


The boys have started school and we are finally getting into our fall routine. Charlie absolutely LOVES kindergarten and has grown up to be such a little man. Charlie started on a school soccer team this month and is having a great time with his classmates. The long days at school have not slowed him down at all! He is off and running when he arrives home from school - playing catch outside and football with his friends. The highlight of his day includes going outside, taking the bus to school and gym class!


Tommy really enjoys his three afternoons of preschool a week and two days of soccer. He has met some cute little buddies and enjoys learning and playing. Scootering is a favorite activity around here and now that we have discovered a new park in the neighborhood, we frequently scooter to this favorite destination! He is my little sidekick at home and is enjoying this precious time as the BIG brother.
Ellie is our little spitfire -very independent and tenacious! Around here, what Ellie wants Ellie usually gets (she is one strong little girl)! She love her lovies and baby doll, as well as shoes and purses. It is truly amazing to see the fashionista blossom,as well as her nurturing tendancies, at such an early age. Ellie loves to talk (in her sweet little language) and give a long, friendly wave to any person/car/dog/bird/plane that is in sight!


Lukie continues to be our charmer, cuddler, and "do gooder" of the clan. He loves to wave and blow kisses, and his vocabulary has blossomed. He can be found sitting next to his big brothers and just stares and smiles at them with complete adoration. This little one loves to join in any game and participate in the fun. His giggle and smile are contageous and he enjoys reading books, singing and dancing, playing ball, and being outside.


Andy Man is our little fearless monkey. This boy is a climber! He is sneaky and sweet and definitely has a love for the game :) He could pass on any toy truck, train or car, but give him a ball and bat and he grins from ear to ear. If Andy could spend the entire day outside, he would be one happy boy. He is so fun loving, playful and full of chuckles!




September was a fun-filled month. We enjoyed having my college friends and their families over for an end of summer party. The kids have grown up with each other and it is always a good time when we all get together! A few other highlights of the month include a couple trips to the local race track to watch live horse racing, outings to the zoo and enjoying the Jesse James Day parade in Northfield.
