Summer Catch-up

The fall of 2009 has been a typical fall (crazy busy). So in order to catch our blog up here are random shots from June 2009 through the start of the school year.


M4 has been growing quickly. Here he is loving quality time in the Bumbo chair. The attachable table makes for a great work-space. M4 really does well with having his picture taken. It is so funny how young kids catch on to the process of picture taking. Our camera has an orange warning light that lights up before the actual picture is taken. M4 quickly caught on to this and almost always puts a great smile on once he sees the orange light.


Now that we have a dining room we also have the piano in a spot where it can be accessed by the kids. Initially this was a great source of entertainment for the house. Here M3 is tickling the ivories and working the crowd. Pretty good posture!


The piano has a demo button that plays many songs that showcase all that it can do. The songs are always in the same order and the kids learned the various styles quickly. The first song is upbeat so they always start dancing as soon as it begins. The next song is a slow, ballad. M3 loves to sing like a little crooner (hence the expression on his face). It's really very funny to hear/watch in person.


M3: "No wait, I like that song."


More emotional crooning from our little lounge singer.


"Oh yeah...I'm cute!"


M3 was playing with one of the chairs in the living room. Somehow he became stuck in the space between the arm of the chair and the seat. Being the caring parent that I am I quickly got up &...got the camera. He wiggled his way out and learned through doing not to do it again.










M1 started taking piano lessons this summer from H. The home improvements tended to put practicing and teaching on hold until later.












"Ta-dah!"










M1 still had time to make a silly face for you.










We had a day in July where we played with the small pool outside and ended the afternoon/evening with a campfire dinner.










M2 LOVES cherries!
