September thus far in 32 pictures! First up - the first day of school!! Rowan started 3rd grade with Mrs Maloney at Crooked Billet and Lily started Kindergarten with Miss Dutkiewicz at the Goddard School. We went ahead and enrolled Lily in Kindy early hoping she will pass into 1st grade at CB next year. She has had a rough start to the year however so right now we don't know the long term prognosis. She has had more trouble than we were anticipating with separation anxiety, starting a new school and having to make all new friends. I hope she finds her groove soon. Every morning is becoming a little easier and a little less dramatic but we are in the 4th week now and still there are adjustments that need to be worked on. In due time, fingers crossed!
Rowan opted to play socccer again this fall and while she missed the first few weeks of practices because of the time she spend in Canada she found her groove and is right back into it. Her coach this year is Dan Hamilton and he is one of the best coaches she has ever had! She plays and enjoys it - it's great!
Fall weather brings family hiking which we love and we found a new state park to add to our places to visit. Peace Valley Park surrounding Lake Galena - gorgeous, close to home and we Jazz gets to play in the water! We have been twice in two weeks now!
On the 18th Lily turned 5 years old! My baby, 5 years old already! Sighs.. Where does the time go?? We had a regular school day that day though so nothing too exciting for her but a little cake for the four of us and a couple of presents. Her birthday party is this coming Sunday at Everybody's Playground where we are expecting about 13 kids so should be fun!
This year I found a subscription series for kids to the Walnut Street Theater. Our first show was this past Saturday called Seussical Jr. We made a day trip of it! We took the train to the city, walked around to some historical sites per Rowan's request, did a horse driven carriage ride, went to the show, had an early dinner/late lunch and had a great day!
And just for the record - still riding like she has been doing it for years! Santa is going to have to bring a larger bike this year!
