Summer Fun

I have been so bad about updating the blog. Facebook has become so much easier I find it's difficult keeping up with both. We have had a busy summer. So far we've been to Memphis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, and Houston. We have one more trip scheduled for Mexico in two weeks. We are so excited. Caroline has done great traveling. Her plane trip to Pittsburgh was wonderful. She charmed the flight attendants and travelers sitting next to her and played with her brother and his toy cars for most of the flight. It's crazy to think in another month she will be a year old. She's standing up and cruising like crazy but not walking yet. She does love to climb up on tables, chairs and fireplaces. The girl is definately going to be active. Jack and I have had fun this summer, too. The pictures above show him practicing writing his letters in shaving cream. He does pretty well with the letters 'o', 'c', 'h' and 'j'. But the others are still pretty difficult. He's also started swimming lessons which is finally giving him some confidence in the water. His vocabulary is amazing and it has been fun to watch him test out new combinations of words (funny example: I'm going to kick you in the smell box). He has found an increased love of dance, probably due to the fact that we watch 'So You Think You Can Dance' together on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Both of them are doing great. It will be sad to see the summer come to an end.
