Two months of Updates

First, I want to take you on a tour of our house :)

Here is the room that I almost love the most- the pantry. It actually goes around and has shelves that can't be seen here. LOVE all the space!!

Here is the living room with the beautiful fireplace:

This is a little computer area:

Labor day weekend my brothers and dad came to finish the rock on our house. It looks amazing!!

We love our house. It is so nice to spread out and make plans for the future- such as how we will do the basement and yard. We feel so blessed!

Here are some other happenings around here in the last 2 months:

Joseph got braces. He is such a good kid. He has already had them tightened at least once and he doesn't complain.

Joseph was in a soccer camp this past summer. He really liked it:

Caroline finished up her neighborhood pre-school. She enjoyed it lots.

My sister and her family came to visit. Here the girls are playing around with make up. We love to have family come visit :)

The kids started school:

Caroline started pre-school at the public school. We had her tested for speech in May and she qualified to get pre-school with speech help. The bus comes to pick her up 2 days a week. She has absolutely loved it- except this past Wednesday she cried when I took her on the bus. We hope that is a one day thing.

Lizard catching is the new hobby around here. The boys are obsessed:

The boys started year round baseball in July. We had already signed the older three up for fall soccer, so our month of September is crazy! But we are enjoying it :)
We went to Las Vegas as a family a few weeks ago. We had a great time.
And, last but not least, I found these pictures from probably about a year ago on my phone. They are so cute! It's Caroline's first cleaning at the dentist.

And, now you are up to date :)
