good-bye summer, hello pre-school!

when you have a baby in the summer, it's not very fun or fair for the older sibling because in the killer heat of summer, all you feel like doing is staying inside...and the LAST thing you feel like doing is 1) putting on a swimsuit, and 2) see yourself in it! BUT...Brayden and I did have one last hurrah at a neighbor's pool before he started school.

Brayden is now attending pre-school at a local church 2 days a week and LOVES it!! We are more than pleased with the program and what he is learning. He comes home with new words and phrases each day. The other morning he woke up and immediately asked for a snack. When I told him it was 7am and time for breakfast, he said "okay, cool!" The 3 hour naps when he gets home are an added bonus too :). Tonight, he had a "date with Dad" sponsored by the school, and presented Chris with a plate he'd made with his handprint on it. We love the social and academic exposure he is getting at such a young age!

At 6 weeks Neely showed significant signs of improvement. As a result we were on our way to establishing a routine and getting on a schedule. So...we gladly dropped the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa and took off on a date. We enjoyed wandering around Dahlonega for the day and touring Three Sisters Vineyard.
