SCHOOL!

Izzy and Mommy are both at school. Izzy started Pre-primary, and Sally is back at work covering maternity leave and trying out working with two kids after a year of being at home. We are all keeping busy and Izzy is loving school. She doesn't want to come home. She has also never slept so well. Special thanks to her teachers for wearing her out completely. We are learning right along with her. We were told to use our "inside voices." :) Charlie is also now enjoying hanging out with some kids his own age at "school". It took some adjusting to being away from Mommy during the day but he is having fun with his friends. Mommy is enjoying using her teacher brain. We are all worn out at the end of the day :)!

First Day of School with a big backpack

Izzy gets to hang out in Mommy's big fifth grade class in the mornings.

Daddy is loving story time with both kids.

Wyoming and Horses

We had a great time with the Ashe side of the Family on the annual pilgrimage to Wyoming.Love from Uncle Obbie!
Yes we hiked all over Teton National Park with children strapped to us :)
Lots of horse rides for the big girl...Her brother was just there long enough for a picture :)
Happy was a great horse escort!

Baptism

Charlie was baptized at the end of July. He was a very good boy during the service.

He didn't even wiggle out of Gary's arms to crawl.

We had the treat of the Martins coming to visit for Charlie's big day. Olivia was a good girl for her parents.

...and of course Sydney and Izzy had a ball together again...Izzy still points out Sydney's hotel on our way to school everyday.

So nice to play together!

Cute baby on the move :)

Charlie is a big time crawler and Izzy is fully potty trained...both accomplished this summer and you wonder why we have had no time to blog :)

Fun in the Mountains

Life of late has brought lots so we have been slow to blog. Here is the first in what will be several catch-up posts if any of you are actually still reading the blog...We made a couple trips to the mountains this summer here are a couple fun pictures from the trip over the 4th of July. Scott was at a wedding in Oregon so the kids and I went to NC with Granny and Happy.
