Life Lately

We are all back in the swing of school and activities.   We are busy......running club on Monday nights, choir on Wednesdays, soccer practice on Fridays and games on Saturday.   But it is a fun and joyful kind of busy.   We are trying to soak up every moment and every memory because time just keeps getting faster and these little girls are changing every single day.   Here are the pictures from the past couple of weeks........

We took the girls out to lunch and had chocolate milkshakes to celebrate Susannah and Peter's first big soccer game of the fall season.   

Chocolate shakes with a view of the Potomac. 

SA wanted to make sure she got every last drop.   

Saturday afternoon naps are the best.  

This little one has become such a beloved member of the family.   

We have had unseasonably warm weather the past two weeks so the girls have enjoyed a couple of last hoorahs with the baby pool and sprinklers.  

Meadow enjoying her mud pie. 

This one loves water time in the backyard. 

Mudpie making keeps these two  busy for hours. 

It took a few weeks, but we finally got a fall picture in front of the school sign. 

SA has been really into playing dress up lately.   Susannah loved this dress too and it makes me smile every time SA puts it on. 

Another Sunday afternoon in the backyard.

Sister love.

Sarah decided to get her rain boots and umbrella just in case a stray shower cropped up unexpectedly.   And that is her new big girl backpack.   She is so proud to have one like Susannah's.  

Peter and Susannah have been practicing soccer in the backyard.   

She is really improving.  

Love this picture.

SA is happy in the pool.   All Day Long.

This little girl has emerged from her shell over night.   She talks non-stop and her personality is big and hilarious.   Her newest phrase is, "Mommy, I'm getting so boring."    

Stirring up some pancake batter for pancake night. 

Susannah rides her scooter to school most mornings and Sarah Avery loves chasing her.   

Can't beat this view as a way to start my day.   

And that has been our last couple of weeks.   We love and miss you all!   Happy Fall to everybody!
