September Update

I have been a really bad blogger lately, and I apologize for the lack of updates, but with 3 little ones and a house that we are trying to get back to normal post-construction, things have been crazy around here.

On September 13, we celebrated the third anniversary of Mary Joyce's Gotcha Day. We really don't go overboard with celebrating, but we talked about why the day was special, and she wore her "China Dress" to church. We also let her pick the place for lunch, and she picked our favorite Chinese buffet restaurant. Mary Joyce is also loving preschool.

Malcom is growing by leaps and bounds. He turned 5 months old on the 21st, and he is wearing 6-9 month sized clothes already. He loves baby food, and is eating 2 full jars a day already, one at lunch and one at supper. He is also rolling all over the place. Look out, world, when he gets the whole crawling thing figured out!

Katherine is also growing. She is talking more and more every day. Her favorite word of late is that two-year old staple--"No!" Funny thing is, she says it in such a cute way that it doesn't come across as obnoxious. She is still just a sweet-natured little girl who is shy around strangers and people that she doesn't see often.

Enjoy the photo slideshow in the post below!

Mary Joyce's First Day of Preschool

Mary Joyce started 3 year old preschool on Monday. Here are a couple of pictures before leaving for her first day. Her words at the end of the day were, "I didn't cry, Mama!"

A Malcom Thread, Just Because...

Here are some pictures of our little man that I made on Sunday afternoon...

Katherine's Birthday Party

We had Katherine's birthday party on Saturday, and it went well. We had a Sesame Street theme, and from the time we picked up the cake at the grocery store, she wanted nothing more than to get her hands on the toys that were the cake toppers. (I think those are some of her favorite new toys.) She wasn't sure what to think of the whole party thing until her daddy picked her up and everyone started singing "Happy Birthday." Her little face lit up all over. All-in-all, I think she had a very good party day.

Stucco & Skylight

Stucco work on the addition was done on Thursday or Friday, and the bathroom skylight was installed on Saturday. They got a lot done today, but no pictures yet.
