Kindergarten!

This month our little guy became a big kindergartner! Eli slid right back into school mode, and has been exploring and learning so many new things each day - I love hearing whatever updates and info he chooses to share with us. Evelyn and I miss him during the day, but I have to admit that we are also enjoying our "Mommy and Evie" days.

 "You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes...

You're off to great places! Today is your day!

Splash!

Since Labor Day weekend typically marks the end of summer, and since that also usually means closing time for all the pools, here's the round-up of our splashing fun this summer.

Evelyn is ready to steer her boat in swim class

Silly faces show our excitement to be at Lake Ripley

Working to keep the moat walls sound

Relaxing (with floaty on for safety, of course)

One pool near us even has a zebra!
