Fall is in the air!

WOW! We have had an action-packed summer and a lot to report since the previous blog post. We moved into a new home at the end of June and have been hard at work making it our own :) We said goodbye to Omega Drive.... Once we moved in, the projects began... The kids loved watching the big cement trucks work on our new driveway and during the installation of our basketball court! It is so nice having a larger yard for the kids to run and our new play set and basketball court have made the move worth while! We had a wonderful summer with soccer, baseball and flag football - along with a trip to Iowa to visit grandparents and cousins and a few trips from family both near and far! Sister Bernadine and her future Duhawks! Charlie Man celebrated his 8th birthday in July and had a party at home with several of his closest buddies. As a ball lover, it was only appropriate to have a Twin's themed party complete with a game at the new Auge Field :) Charlie is a special young man and is growing up so fast. He continues to bless us every day with his kind, confident, playful and caring personality. We love you Charlie Man! Last month, our household accomplished a huge milestone - WE ARE DIAPER FREE! Andy Man was one proud little boy when he mastered this feat and earned his bubble gum treat from Daddy! Charlie and Tommy are one week into another school year and are thrilled to be learning and playing with friends all day long. Their presence at home is missed, but we anxiously await their smiles as they descend from the bus stop each afternoon. Andy, Luke and Ellie will start preschool this week and speech the following week. It will be eerily quiet around the house for these few hours....but I am sure I can find ways to pass the time :)
