It is almost October and we're just feeling the beginnings of fall, one of my favorite times of year! This past month we've been busy with school and just enjoying this last bit of the warm, summer sun! As sad as I am to see it go, I'm also really looking forward to the next few weeks of cool breezes, fresh apples, colorful leaves, and all things pumpkin! We did our first "fall" event a couple of weeks ago when we took you to one of the apple orchards in north Georgia. It is the cutest place! We spent an afternoon picking apples, riding ponies, taking a hay ride, riding pedal cars, jumping on the jumpy pillow (almost like a jumpy house, but even better!) visiting the animals in the petting zoo, and watching the mini pig races! In the next couple of weeks, we'll be going to the pumpkin patch to gather pumpkins - we really look forward to that each year!!
Chloe,
You are doing so well in school and you're really enjoying it now! I've volunteered in your class a couple of days, so I've had the opportunity of watching you in action. We have also visited you for lunch a couple of times - you always love having visitors. You are sounding out letters, recognizing your sight words, and you are learning to read! You are so smart, and I am constantly amazed by how quickly you pick things up! I am one proud Mommy!! Other than school, you have really gotten into painting. You have always loved art, but over the last month, I don't think there's been even one day that you haven't painted with your watercolor set!
Madeline,
You are still loving your preschool class as much as you did the very first day! Each day is new and exciting to you, and I am always in awe of how happy and joyful you are. You are always smiling and our lives are brighter because of you! We are still working on our potty training, and you are learning to brush your teeth by yourself! You have always been our Miss Independent :) You are really into baby dolls and strollers right now, along with doing anything your big sister does. The two of you love drawing together, blowing bubbles together, playing outside, and running around chasing each other!
The two of you continue to be best little buddies and I pray it always stays this way. I am so blessed by both of you, and I am so thankful for our little family!!
Love,
Mommy
