Happy 11th Birthday Kiernan!











Yesterday our oldest son Kiernan turned 11. We celebrated by having a party with his cousin Isaiah who also has the same birthday. My aunt was kind enough to open her house so Kiernan could have a pool party. He had a great time. And yes, I can't believe he is 11. Where has 11 years gone?

This will probably be my last post for a while. We are leaving for Disney this Sunday and will be there for a week. The kids are so excited to be going (as are we)! When we return, we will post lots of pictures and tell you all about the trip.

Have a great couple of weeks and enjoy the summer!

Swimming

Ashlyn and Katelyn swimming tonight in the pool. They are both swimming so good and it is so cute to watch.

That's all for now. Enjoy the video.

Here's what's new...

This is what happens when Katelyn gets a hold of a marker. Do you see the green in her mouth?
This was a few weeks ago. How could I get mad? She looks too cute!





Playing with sparklers.

Hello to all our faithful followers. Sorry for the delay in posting. We have been busy.

Ashlyn has therapist come in everyday. She is doing really well. We are coming down to the last few weeks and then she will be starting school in Sept. We are still not sure where she will be going to Pre-K. It's either Circle of Friends in Ravena or Sonshine Preschool in Catskill. In Ravena she would be in school 5 days a week with more therapies. In Catskill 3 days a week with therapies also. We are pushing for Circle of Friends because we think with it being 5 days a week that would just get her more prepared for Kindergarten. We have a meeting on Aug. 14th to decide that. We will keep you posted.

Preston has been going to summer school for extra reading. He goes 4 days a week for 2 1/2 hours a day. He says he's having fun. The thing I like about this school is that they will get kids extra help even if they are not below the standard, but maybe close to the edge. I'm happy with the school district so far.

Kiernan and Katelyn are just having a great summer swimming at our pool, Aunt Robin's pool, and our public pool. Katelyn learned to swim with a life jacket. It is so cute to see her swim. She has no fear of the pool. I call her my future Olympic swimmer.

The other news is that we will be going to Disney from Aug. 23-29th. Thanks to Make-A-Wish. We will take lots of pictures and share them with you all when we get home.

Hope you all are enjoying your summer.
