Fall 2009

Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a while since my last post, but with 2 little ones around the house time is precious (and naps are few!)

In September, Virginia started school and all her activities such as dance, sporty shorties and Kindermusik. She loves her class and has been learning things from bats and owls to the pilgrims and the Mayflower. Her favorite job at school is to be the "weather helper" where she gets to look outside and decide if the weather is sunny or cloudy, etc. She has been writing her name (a couple of letters need some more work) and making a new craft project every day at school. Taylor and I are trying to find places to store her artwork... I just can't bear to throw it out. She loves to play at home with her dolls and stuffed animals, play dress up, and "lady pirates" with the girls next door on the playground in the backyard.

Henry has been growing like a weed and developing new skills every day. I can hardly remember the newborn anymore! He is a calm baby and loves to watch everything and everyone... Virginia is his favorite subject. He has been holding his head up on his own, smiling, laughing, cooing and "talking." Just yesterday on Thanksgiving he rolled over for the first time from his tummy to back! He is a great baby and the best part is that he loves to snuggle with Mom... Dad too! Enjoy the pictures from the last 3 months!

Henry's first bath, always so calm... loves the water - 4 1/2 weeks


Virginia's first day of Preschool at the Wolfeboro Nursery School. I couldn't believe she was going to school already, she is growing up so fast.

Henry is such a beautiful baby! I love the pictures of Virginia when you gave her the gum- priceless. I can't wait to see all of you over x-mas break. Take care!
