Summer 2010

It's hard to believe that the summer is over already! We had such a fun summer with so many things going on that it isn't a surprise that it went by so fast. We had lots of family around so the kids were able to play with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents a lot. We we regulars at State Farm Park and by the time we reached our last trip there Justin and Natalie were pros at going down the waterslides by themselves and Taylor enjoyed going down with either mom or dad. We did our usual blueberry picking, a girls trip to the American Girl Store with The Curtis Family, tested out some real fighter jets, did t-ball/soccer/gymnastics, had a mini-vacation in Galena, kids had sleepovers with friends and family, we all went to the Lincoln Balloon Festival, and Justin drove some big trucks at the Day of the Dozer. I think the kids really enjoyed this summer! Here are just a few pics...

Natalie started Kindergarten last week and is having a lot of fun. She rides the bus to and from school and hasn't had any issues with the whole experience...yet. She loves her teacher, class, and has made a new friend that rides on the bus with her and is in her class. Here is a picture of her on the first day of school.

Justin starts preschool after Labor Day and will meet his new teachers this week for a short time and see his classroom. He'll be going three mornings a week and Taylor will be in the toddlers program one morning a week. We are looking forward to a fun filled school year!
