As Summer comes to an end it opens up new beginings!

We've had a fairly uneventful summer which is nice but I guess a little boring for the kids. Our highlights of it all probably include going to the beach, spray park, visiting with friends and our basement flood reno #2 coming to a close. So really not to much :) I have a feeling next summer will be a little more busy which will be alright to.

Sophia is a growing weed and has an interest in owning all the toys she sees on the shelves at walmart. She's still very much into tinkerbell, princess's and torturing Seth whenever however she can. Sophia is very excited to start her second year of playschool in two days (Sept 15th, 2009). She'll be going in the afternoon this year from 1-3pm on Tuesday/Thursday. Some exciting news is that Sophia read her first word: Sat!

Seth is busy growing boy too of course, but seems to be into less which is a nice relief. Eric and I are currently in the midst of trying to potty train Seth and he is doing pretty good so far. He seems to got it with pee so long as he has got no pants on. However we did have a poop accident when we were outside and he proceeded to poop on the sidewalk. He will get it eventually and I'm so glad to have hope on the horizon of having less diapers to change!!

Evan is a busy growing boy as well. I have no idea how much he weighs or how tall he is just right now since I haven't taken him in just yet to find out. He's a sitting and army crawling boy. Well he's army crawling for now anyways, he rocks on his hands and knees and is trying to figure out the normal way of crawling, but for now he gets around quite well. He's a very happy and smiley baby who just needs to learn how to sleep better during the night.

We right now are in the process of purging in our house. We have to much stuff and I still have lots of baby clothes from Sophia that need to go to the second hand store. We also are trying to get the basement room ready for Sophia to move down into so that we can put Evan into her old room, but in order to do that we need to finishing purging some more stuff. It's amazing what you can accumulate over the years. We've gotten rid of quite a bit and still have lots more to go.

On a last note I'm proud to say that I've already begun Christmas shopping :)
