Leo-centric!

We took the kids to our fire station's open house. They got to put out fires, ride in the truck...it was a great time.

Kaylee reads to her siblings.

Sometimes it is nice to be useless. Rowan and Leo gave each other wagon rides while waiting for Kaylee's bus.

How Rowan rolls to Kindergarten

Party-dress, pink cowgirl boots, braided low side ponytail with matching flower barrette. How did we get a fashion savvy child?

Thank you Cricut!

Thanks Cricut for making our $0.50 notebooks into great one-of-a-kind autograph books!

A family pic!

Thanks UJ for taking this pic, expect to see it again around Christmas!

Happy Birthday!

She's 5!!!!!

Wow, yeah, we've been busy

Ok so I am going to work backwards: starting from today.  This was filthy Leo after his little play date this morning. Dirty=fun, right?

Monday morning--first day of school: kindergarten and 2nd grade!

Rowan was excited to go!

Willing to pose...

My proud little 2nd grader.

On Saturday, Daddy's company had their annual Canobie outing. Leo was pleased to do rides by himself!

And with his sisters

3 in a canoe.

Saturday was also the girls' karate birthday party!! 7 & 5 already?!?!?

Friday was the open house at school where the girls got to visit their classrooms.

Last Wednesday we went to Storyland, the girls took part in a production😄. Well they are our kids after all!

With Alice and friend, Sophie!

Red & Peter Pan.

And while we were away, we got a new septic tank installed, but on The day before the kids got to play on the excavator.

Leo was in Heaven.

Kaylee lost her third tooth last week. And that ought to about wrap it up.

Some quick pics because it has been a while!

The girls are taking karate this summer!

So far, they both love it!

Sundresses from their Auntie Diana's trip to Mexico!

Guess who got their ears pieced?

Both of them!

Swimming lessons

For the last 2 weeks (and the next 2) the kiddos have been taking swimming lessons!  They love it.

Here is the little celebration they have upon completing each 2 week session!

Gymnastics has ended

All 3 of my cherubs have finished their year of gymnastics. They got their trophies!

And we're very proud.

Rowan's gymnastics recital was part of her preschool graduation so it was a little more involved!

Rowan and her class getting ready to start their routine

Pure joy, she loved her class so much!

Getting her diploma and trophy!

The graduating class!

Dress Rehearsal

The big dance recital is coming up on Saturday. Last night was dress rehearsal. There are a lot of pictures (although not as many as last year) but here are some of my favorites so far:
Kaylee's Ballet/Tap costumes

Rowan's Ballet/Tap costumes

Being goofy together!

My littles!

Jazz Time!

Rowan's Ice Cream Jazz costume...potential Halloween costume right here!

Kaylee's Jazz Costume!

Wow, Kaylee was having a very photogenic day.

There are lots more to go through, but Leo's nap is almost over so that's going to have to suffice for now.
