Kylia's 1st Day of Pre'K

September 8th

Kylia is now attending Pre-K at Prarie Pals Preschool just down the road in Oswego. She goes M-Th (1-3:30pm) and loves her new teacher Ms. Dotty. Every time we dropped of Kylia for the first couple of weeks, Julia would say with a sad little frown and pouty voice, "I miss Kylia. She's my best friend." Here are some pictures of her first day...

Auntie Terry

August 28th
Thanks for visiting Auntie Terry! We love you and miss you!!

Blue Harbor Resort

We had an incredibly fun Labor Day weekend at the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, WI with Grandma and Grandpa. It was right on Lake Michigan and also had an indoor water resort. We had sunny, 80 degree weather and the girls loved every minute!! Here are a bunch of pictures…it was hard to choose. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Swim Lessons For Kylia

Kylia really enjoyed her first swim lessons this summer and was able to swim underwater, float on her back, and jump in the water all by herself by her last lesson!

Nanny’s Visit

Shane’s mom came to visit us and meet her grandbaby #11 and brought her first grandbaby, Katie (who is now 12), with her from New Mexico.
