The Girls' First Day of School

Carolne and Julia started the new school year at Chapman Hills. Caroline is now a big 2nd Grader. She is getting so big! Julia is a kindergartener! How can my sweet little baby girl be old enough for elementary school? They are both so smart and doing so well. I am so proud of them both.

Swimming Lessons

The kids had fun with swimming lessons this summer. Caroline is swimming so well now. Erik is like a little fish. He loves the water - constantly jumping in and blowing bubbles. Julia is a little nervous about the water, but she is improving.

Erik's First Day of Preschool

When Erik turned 2, he was able to start school at Clever Endeavors where I teach. I was so excited to have my little boy come to work with me and begin having enjoyable, beneficial experiences at school. Julia was excited to have her little brother at school with her. Erik has been doing incredibly well at school. He seems to have a lot of fun and he likes the teachers. What a big boy!

Erik's 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Erik's birthday witha monkey theme party at La Veta park. it was a fun party - Erik had a great time. Our family was there, the Sperry relatives were still in town and the Manions - friends from church also made it. We played, had bubbles and balls for playing, there were snacks and even a monkey cake my mom made for Erik. It was a perfect party.

Erik is 2 Years Old

July 9, 2009 was Erik's 2nd birthday. I can hardly believe my baby is now 2 years old! It seems like I was just bringing him home from the hospital. Erik has been such a joy. He is sweet and loving, adventurous and curious and has the funniest sense of humor. I am so grateful to has such an amazing little boy in my life.
