Charlotte's Concerto

She has quite the imagination... and it is so entertaining for us.

Puyallup Fair 2009

We were joined this year by Heather and Mia Mae! The weather was record breaking heat- once again- but we drank lots of water and had a great time! Charlotte was super excited for the rides, until she realized (once she was on it) that they move! When the little rocket ride started moving and I thought she was going to burst into tears! But, by the last two passes, she was happy and enjoying the ride! The train was her favorite! Thank you Mia Mae for accompanying Charlotte on the rides! And thanks for joining us at the fair!

Tired Girl...

Being in school sure does tucker you out! And...its just not easy getting used to a new schedule!

Charlotte's First Day of Preschool

At First Pres Church School we have a program for 2 year olds called The Beginners Program. Not very many other schools , I am finding, offer such a program. Charlotte loves it! She gets to explore, be with other kids, do art projects, and most of all sing songs! I was told by one of the teachers that she sings the loudest in the class! What is so weird for me... is that my baby girl is developing a world outside our home. One day, I came into the classroom to chat with a parent and Charlotte piped in part way through our conversation, "MOMMA... GOOD-BYE!" The next day, I tried to come in in again to chat , and Charlotte, shaking her pointer finger at me, promptly led me to the door, opened it, and pushed me out, saying, "Love you, GoodBye!"

Football means fall...

While I get excited for fall colors, decorations, pumkins, fall cooking, and storming days that blow all the leaves off the trees... my husband gets excited for FOOTBALL! So I joined him for a preseason Seahawks game this year, when the weather was still nice! I have to say, that my favorite part was watching the drumline, Blue Thunder play before the game... oh yeah, and just having a date with my hubby!!!!
