Our Summer

Summer is coming to an end at our house, school starts Tuesday. It is crazy how much life can change in just two months.

Carter has grown, it seems that he will be taller than me before long. He is so excited to start Kindergarten, I on the other hand am not (it makes me feel old). He has become quite the big brother, he has a talent for making Cooper and Hallie laugh or cry, yes both. Today Carter made us pancakes for breakfast all by himself with a little help. The other night I went to check on him and he sat straight up in bed and started giggling. I left his room and came back and he was still laughing. After about 10 minutes he laid down and went back to sleep. He does not know why he was laughing.


Cooper would be content to play games on any electronic device or watch Tom and Jerry all day long if we let him. He is not sure about Hallie since she has become so mobile, we are trying to teach him not to carry her by her neck. Cooper kept telling me that he was going to "inderarten with Carter". I had know idea what he was trying to tell me. We have been talking about Carter gets to go to Kindergarten and Cooper gets to go to Pre-School. Now Cooper is excited to go to Pre-School.

Oh Hallie! She is into everything and is so happy. She is trying to walk, she will stand there on her own for quite some time and then will take a few steps. She loves pushing anything around that will move with her as she walks. Josh and I have been saying that she will start walking this weekend when my mom is here and we are not (isn't that how it always is). Her new thing is climbing. She loves to climb up on Cooper's bed or the couch and just hang out. Amazingly she knows how to get off feet first. She has two teeth.
