September

 Nothing too big happened this month. Mostly it has been getting into the routine of school, preschool and piano lessons. Everything is in full swing and going well.
Roslyn loves coming to school and always comes running when it's time to start. This is her trying to do the worksheets like her big brothers.
(I guess the big thing this month has been putting an offer on a home and going through the details on that.)

 Evan and Roslyn play really well together. This is them sitting and reading books together.
 This was a different fruit from our store. It's been fun finding some different foods we usually don't eat.
 Benson still loves the preschool crafts. This was our g grass garden.
 Plants:  I love the hibiscus flower and our spinach has done well here so far. I'm glad we squeezed them in the moving truck.

Calvin in his scout uniform. He will have a short time in scouts. He's enjoying it so far.

August


Calvin always loves holding Roslyn.  Roslyn doesn't always want to be held.  He was excited that she finally let him hold her and wanted a picture of it!

Exercise! I decided that I needed to do something fun and together to start school off.  We decided to have choir...sing a couple of songs and then we do exercises while we count.  It has been a lot of fun.


Evan is super excited to start preschool and really so is Benson.  These boys love playing games.

Putting on bows and bracelets.  It is so fun doing little girl things with my little girl.  She really is a girly girl.  She loves to pick out her bows and really loves to get her nails done. Our little cutie pie.


Our big 8 year old! He was so excited to turn 8 and had gotten his shirt ready to wear weeks in advance.  On the actually day he excitedly put it on first thing in the morning!






One happy boy! He decided to play games most of the day on his birthday. But he was sure a happy boy all day long.




Sunday afternoon working on family search, Alden made it all the way back to Adam and Eve.  It is pretty neat to think that one of my lines goes all the way back! :)

First day of preschool! And Alden's birthday the following day.



Alden wanted to have an ice cream cake, it was fun to have something different. We all had fun celebrating this special day with this boy.


Calvin's baptism! It was neat to see how excited Calvin was for his baptism.  We had talked to him about moving it back a week because Grandma would be in town, but he didn't want to wait! It worked out great to have it when we did.




It was so nice of his cousins (and their parents) to make the long drive to be here for Calvin's special day.



Ron and Tara also made a long drive to be with us.  It was so nice to have them with us and to show them where we live.





Aunt Janice and Uncle Erin also made the drive down and were really helpful in helping us out with the program.  Aunt Janice gave such a nice talk on baptism.
