So Random
I just found this video on Eric's phone. I don't remember when I started to be able to do this but whenever I did, our friends and family (especially kids) got a kick out of it. So we decided to video it. I miss my belly! Nora and I got some good belly workouts!

My sweet boy
The week after school started we got a nice little email from Dresden's teacher. It made me so proud and happy! Love him so much!
Hi Raquel and Eric,
I wanted to drop you a note about Dresden this week. He is doing super at school in fact he is completing all of the routine without any support and is participating in every part of the day. You would have thought he has been in the classroom before as he caught on right away! Not only is he doing well with following directions he is playing very appropriately with peers. An example of this would be, he was playing with the car garage along with another boy and one of them wanted the ramp up and the other down. I could see it was going to be a problem so I walked over to them and asked both of them what was going on. They shared their problem then when I asked them what we should do about it the other boy said we could take turns. Dresden said, "Yah and he can go first". He waited until the other child had a couple turns then he took his 2 turns and then they were fine. These kinds of problem solving skills are so good for kids to workout and I was impressed with his willingness to go second and wait even longer... He also participated in our small group discussion about feelings and talked about the emotions then made them on his face yesterday.
I am so happy to have him in our classroom, we get to see those cute dimples everyday!
Have a good weekend,

First day of school
I can't believe school finally started. I'm way behind here so they have been going for a month now.
Ava absolutely loves kindergarden! It's all day here so I was kind of sad she would be gone for so long. I miss her and hate not knowing what is going on, she doesn't relay information very well! She looked so cute and grown up on her first day. Love my sweet sassy girl!
She loves jewelry right now! And she picked out her backpack too!
As each kid came they got to have a turn holding the sign so students could find where their teacher was. She was pretty excited about it! :)
There she goes! I was sad but since I was so very pregnant it was kind of nice to have some time to relax. And she has never complained about school being too long so that makes me happy!
Dresden's preschool started a week later, which was very hard for Dresden! Every morning we would take Ava and he was so sad it wasn't time for his school. Ava's school starts at 8:15 and Dresden would still want his new school shoes on and his backpack to take Ava. Even though we never leave the car! And I love that Dresden always makes sure Ava gives him a kiss too before she gets out of the car. He is seriously the sweetest boy!
He looked very handsome and could not be more thrilled to start school. He goes to the same school as Ava and is in the same class she was last year. I loved her teacher and I'm so glad Dresden will have her as well. He gets to ride the bus there and then I pick him up the same time I pick up Ava. Lucky for us we live 5 minutes from the school too.
Love that face!!
I had to get one of his favorite shoes! And of course he picked Avengers for his backpack!
Such a big boy heading off to Pre school!

Back to school donuts
We have some friends that get donuts and play at the park as a back to school tradition. I loved the idea and thought we should have it as our tradition too. The kids had so much fun and of course loved eating the donuts!

August pictures
Dresden and Talmage had so much fun together this summer. This was during one of the last summer play dates. I just couldn't resist their cute faces!
The kids are always so excited when daddy comes home. Mommy wasn't much fun the last weeks of pregnancy! Lucky for everyone they have the best daddy ever who plays with them all night long. Frisbee is one of their favorites. I loved watching them and have them give Eric pointers on how to throw it! :) They are both pretty good!
Love this one... daddy threw it a little high!
