Halloween 2009

The Princess (a.k.a. Tinkerbell) and the Frog

Nicholas Turns 1

We celebrated Nicholas' first birthday on September 12th. He received many gifts. His favorite? A Pringles can with empty thread spools in it! Amy baked him a cute caterpillar cake and big sister helped with blowing out the candle.

August Visit to Coldwater Lake, Michigan

Chris, Heather, Wyatt and Maggie Kauffman came for the day and it was overcast, cool and light rain at times. The kids were dying to get in the water and, finally, had an open window to do so! Sophia and Nicholas loved it, too. A day of special memories!

Swim Lessons - Sophia and Aubrie

Brittany, our college-aged neighbor, gave Sophia and Aubrie swim lessons in her family pool.

Sophia is 3

Sophia had her 3rd birthday party tonight with her "best friend", Aubrie and family in attendance. Sophia received a sleeping bag and a Tinkerbell outfit and Sleeping Beauty outfit, among many other things! It was a "princess" birthday :)

Birthday Party

Sophia and her "best friend" Aubrie had a joint birthday party today at a gymnastics place (Aubrie was 3 on 5/28 and Sophia will be 3 on 7/23). They invited some of their friends from their PDO (Parents' Day Out) class. There was a great deal of activity and Nicholas even joined the fun!

Nicholas - 9 mos. Sophia - hamming it up!
