Soccer!!

JJ started his very first soccer league! God bless the person who wanted to take on 3 year old soccer...but nevertheless, JJ had a good time. He was a bit unsure in the beginning (he thought the playground across the park looked like a much better time) but then he warmed up to it and said he was ready to go back again next week! Such a big boy now!

Kay's 4mo Pictures!

Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. Enough said.

Tommy and Suzanne

Mike's nephew and his wife brought Mike's mom up for the weekend and JJ absolutely adores Tommy and 'Susa-uanne' :)
JJ played so hard with them all weekend that he fell asleep as soon as they left Sunday afternoon and is still recovering! He asks all of the time when they are coming back so hopefully we can plan a trip to NJ soon to visit!

Fun with Grandma!

We were so fortunate to have Grandma visit us for the weekend! We haven't seen her since the wedding in June so it was great for the kids to spend so much time with her.

Firsts For JJ!

First day of preschool!

and check out the new sneakers that JJ picked out--with laces! He has decided that he wants to learn to tie his shoes...

Saying the pledge during circle time...

And he's already bored. Great.

No, seriously, he loved it :) Thank goodness JJ went for a couple of months last spring after he turned three--today when he got there he was so excited and already knew the routine and all of the teachers. He was exhausted by the time he arrived home but that's just evidence that he had a good time!

Firsts For Kayley!

Kayley's first time in the highchair! She loves to be up high and at the table so she can see everything that is going on! No knocking our fancy dinner of grilled cheese/tomato soup/tater tots...

First Foods! Here she is in the 'pre' picture of her first time trying cereal...

I don't think she is exactly sold on the idea...

But it looks like she gets the concept! Sort of...

Last Summer Pictures of '08

Labor Day weekend fun! We had a busy long weekend-- Kayley's 4 month pictures were taken on Saturday, a family picnic at Grackin's on Sunday w/ Aunt Nancy, Uncle Ron, Erica's family and Steph's family and then Monday we spent the day at Dad's pool!
We started back to school on Tues, so far the kids love going to the babysitters, and I'm adjusting to being back at work, can't wait for next summer! Enjoy the photos below :)

It's too bad Will was taking a nap and missed out on these pictures... Clockwise Jack, Sam, Kayley, JaysonSnuggle bunnies...

This was Kayley's first time in the pool--you can tell by her smile that she loved it!

Jack...

Sam...

and Jayson!

Don't you just love the panicked tone of my voice in the second video? Oy...
