Sweet Potatoes!

We have been so spoiled this summer. We have enjoyed 2 uninterrupted, glorious months together as a family. Now its back to school for all of us including Nolan! We have lots of changes to report! I'm heading to Cascade Elementary to teach 1st grade. Brian is still a math coach at Nelsen, but will be an "EA" at Campbell Hill Elementary as well! An EA is a supportive administrative role and he's very excited to move forward with his hopes of becoming a principal some day! Finally our little boy is off to preschool! He's so excited. We know it will be a great experience for him. Claire and Nolan will be joining Grandma Barb and Grandpa Don at their home while we're at school this year. Although it is hard to head back to work, we know they are surrounded by love in our absence. Much love to all of you out there!

Like father like daughter :)

So many things going on this month. Everyday is something new. Claire has started solid food and is very entertaining for her big brother as shown above! Our babies are getting so big!

Video of Claire's Laugh with Uncle Adam

Here are Claire, Amy, and Uncle Adam hanging out (and Nolan in the background :)). What you can't see is Adam walking back and forth, but Claire is following his every move. What a great chuckle she has!!

We celebrated Nicole and Chas' wedding this past weekend! It was a wonderful time with friends and family. My good friend Kim and I made the cake so I had to show it off! :) Nolan was a ham as usual and uncle Jeff was there to capture him in his glory!

Happy 4th!
