Fall Fun

This fall has been crazy busy for us. I can't belive how fast it's gone by. Patrick is loving school, and making new friends every day. I can't believe this is his last year of preschool. He has begun reading on his own, and is starting to be able to add and subtract. Renee is chattering up a storm. She has some big ideas, and is getting very loud about expressing her opinions. She also has been throwing some temper tantrums lately, which I'm hoping is just the "Terrible Twos". Because I'm very behind on the blog, I've assembled some pictures that capture the "highlights" of the fall.

Sports Stars in Training

I never thought I'd be one to have my kids in a million activities, however, I was wrong. This fall has been incrediably busy for us. Patrick has been wanting to play on a soccer team since he was two. This year he was finally old enough, so I signed him up at the YMCA. Turns out he's a little superstar in training. His team played four games, and Patrick scored at least one goal per game. Most games he scored at least two. In fact, he scored more goals than anyone else in the league combined. :) While Patrick was playing soccer, Miss Renee wanted to join a dance class. She is quite the little diva. She loves the time she spends in "tap tap, ballet" as she calls it. She even puts on her dancing shoes and dances around the house every day. Both kids are also in gymnastics. Renee goes with Kenny on Mondays, and Patrick goes on Tuesdays with me. Both are begining to improve their tumbling, and they love it.
