Happy Birthday Evelyn!

It is hard to believe that our baby girl turned two today. She is a happy little girl and her energy is endless. She wakes up with a smile on her face every morning and wins the title for the only morning person in our house. She makes the funniest faces and is probably the silliest two year old I have ever met. She never stops talking and often is yelling at her brother to stop doing something he should not be doing. She is always playing with her babies, making tea or wants to play chase. She can also regularly be found with one of Charlie's guys battling, just like him. She is opinionated and outspoken and when she wants something you will know. She picks out her own clothes every morning and always has to have bows in her hair. She is caring and empathetic, she never wants to see anyone cry or sad. When someone is hurt, she heads straight to the freezer for ice and comes back with ice (and kisses) to make you feel better. She loves music and if she is not talking she is usually singing. She is a mommy's girl and daddy is her jungle gym - she knows which one of she needs and when. However, her partner in crime and the person she loves most is her brother. She follows him and everything he does and when he is not home she wants to know where he is and when he will be back. Evy is an amazing little human and we look forward to the years to come. Happy birthday to our sweet girl!

First Day of Kindergarten!

It is hard to believe, but today is Charlie's first day of Kindergarten! He popped out of bed this morning ready to head to school. We are so proud of him and we look forward to watching all that is in store for him this year. It is going to be a great year!

(Ready to go!)

Spider Santa Man!

He fights crime and loves cookies. In his spare time he delivers toys to children. What an amazing guy! 

Skid Marks!

Our professional two-wheeler bike rider figured out how to leave skid marks on the side walk and he is so proud!

End of Summer Means Chuck E Cheese!

Charlie has the memory of an elephant and remembered that last year before school started we visited Chuck E Cheese and wanted to do it again. Today in the sweltering heat, I decided spending the day inside would not be all bad. Although I think the place smells a little funky, the kids had a great time!
