Soccer Girl

This young lady was looking pretty cute today!

Pay no attention

to the disgusting glass - 

 apparently I don't!

Tonight

she is on her way...

To her very 1st soccer game

Pink shorts and all.

I did try to put on big brother's black shorts,

but ultimately she thought maybe people

would think she was a boy,

so we stuck with the pink to be safe!

All Wet!

He started with a drink...

Ooops...

What would a 2 year old say

 in a situation like this?

His little voice says, "All wet?"

Oh well

It's fun!

1st Day of School

Today was the 1st day of kindergarten. 

I was so bummed I did not get a nice picture...

And this picture...

This was the best of like 27...errrr.

I wanted them to sit close together - all cuddley and cute - but that was not going to happen.

This was actually the night before.

I love this picture -true excitement

(he does not do well with posed pics)

Sounds like he had a pretty good day.  I asked him if he wanted to go back tomorrow or stay home with me.  I guess it would have been a bit difficult if he had answered the latter!  And so he must go and grow up on me!

Splish Splash

Today we went to a new, low-key (yeah for me) - splash park

One of this guy's favorite things

This one not quite as much

But she does warm up to it!

And this guy

Well, I just love this pose!

This summer has gone too quickly.  It is always hard to believe how quickly little ones grow and change.  I have been taking a zillion photos lately as to not ever forget. But one thing a photo cannot capture, one of my favorite things in life, is hearing the sound of their little voices (well not so much the screaming part - I think I hear my fair share) but, the sweet, gentle voices of a child.  I am especially loving right now Cy's 2 year old 2 word sentences and how he refers to himself as Cyrus.  Tears flow when I think of them growing up on me....

Tree Lined Paths

I love tree lined paths.
Especially secret ones that not many know of such as this one at the Columban Fathers Campus.  I cannot wait to come here in the fall!
