end of summer pics

 

i can't forget to document the end of the summer! too many big moments that we can't let slip by on the blog!

 

end of summer for me meant wrapping up lots of loose ends at work and leaving the office every day right at 5:00 with no work at nights and weekends so i could have more time with my 3 favorite people! it has been sooo nice. back to real reality.  still busy days and weekends but a different kind of busy. normal busy i guess you can call it.

 

both of the kiddos have really been changing so much in each of their own little way. fran is just talking up a storm but at the same time entering her stage of life of being a total challenge. the month of september she decided she wanted to wake between the hours of 5am and 6am every day. that was fun. she has started singing her abc's, twinkle twinkle, and the little monkeys on the bed song. i keep taping them because i don't ever want to forget her cute little voice.

 

henry has really begun to mature in so many ways-- with his thoughts, questions and just the way he completely loves to be responsible and take care of himself and his sister. we had his teacher conference last week and some of the words they used to describe him were: dependable, most resourceful, & best helper.  he must be on a growth spurt because the boy is eating everything in the house! 26 more days till turning FIVE!

 

 

had to photo her first brownie batter experience. she almost stuck her whole head in the bowl. it was a strip down to our bloomies kind of event.

 

 

henry's trip to the dentist.....all clean report (unlike his mom)
 

CGC nine and dine....winner winner chicken dinner

 

fun dinner with my "myers park girls" celebrating my 35th. i'm old! but so thankful to have had each one of these great girls in my life for so long. i love each one of them so.much.
(mary, me, courtney, melissa, catherine & margaret)

 

saving one of the best photos for last.....Emmett Robert: 6 lbs 4 ozs

He decided to come into the world a few weeks early being born on September 20th.  He is so tiny! I have already forgotten how little they are in the beginning!! He has been doing great and Mindy & Jeff are just loving every moment...and so are Honey and Sam!
