Alice loves yogurt!

Besides just loving the taste of yogurt (she has it at least twice a day) Alice loves the independence of feeding herself this gloopy goo. Here is a clip from a month ago when she first fed herself this delightful treat. Pretty funny! Thought it was worth a post...

Cousin Fun!

We had a great weekend visit from the Quinns (minus Josh). Jenn came down with Cooper and Isabel on Friday and stayed through the weekend. It was a great chance for the cousins to catch up while also helping us manage our last weekend conflict with games. We were grateful to Jenn for taking all three munchkins for a good portion of the day while we took care of our various obligations. While I was on the sidelines of the field hockey game, Jenn had the kids hanging out in the shade for a halftime picnic! It was a total kiddy corner, as Cameron Catarazolo joined them for a good chunk of the game. Afterward we checked out the local Canton library and found a new playground that Cooper and Isabel really enjoyed. It was a bit too big for Alice so she and I just ran around on the soccer field. Sunday we took the Quinns to our favorite playground - that's where most of the pictures are from. While the kids were a little sleep deprived on Saturday, they generally got along really well and had a ton of fun playing together! We are looking forward to hanging out again soon!
Bath Time! It was a little crowded but tons of fun!

Cookies after dinner. Alice had her first chocolate chip cookie and loved it! Cooper and Isabel were pretty pleased as well. Cooper even snuck an extra one before we moved them out of reach!


At the playground on Sunday morning. We had a great time playing and exploring the path to the soccer fields. It was a perfect morning activity before the Quinns hit the road to go back to Midd.

Alice thought this was a fun position on the swing. A little odd if you ask me...

Quinn group hug!

The gang!

Fun at the Park

Ok...so it's been awhile since I've posted. Can you tell the school year just started? I've been encouraged to update things so here it is!

Alice had her first full week back at school. It's been hard on her mother, but I think she's happy to be back in a routine. We had a quick visit from Grandma Carolyn last night which was awesome. A much need visit as Reeves and I were juggling both a soccer and field hockey game.

The latest news with Alice is that she will be moving up to the toddler room at daycare. We just received a phone call yesterday proposing the idea of 'transitioning' to the older classroom. This was oddly emotional for me. It really hit home that she is growing up and gaining more and more independence everyday. While that is of course a great development, it's a little hard to see our baby Alice not be a baby anymore. I'm not exactly sure when she'll be moving rooms, but it should be exciting and maybe a little challenging at first.

Here are some much over due pictures of Alice from a few weekends ago. Reeves discovered a park near our house which is great. Alice loved climbing up the stairs and coming down the slide in our laps. She warmed up to the swing after a few pushes! We will probably head back there tomorrow!

Technical Difficulties...

Hard to take pictures when someone is capping the lens...
