Summer 2012

September 30: Wow this summer has really flown by! So I know it's been quite a while since we've posted anything (6 months)! Well we've been having fun and enjoying our summer!

Austyn seems like she's older than 3 1/2 sometimes (she likes to say that she's already 4 because that's what she will turn on her next birthday)!So let's see, she started her 2nd year of preschool last month and is not as excited about this class as she was last year! She always has fun once she's there but the drop offs have been a little tough. She will only wear dresses every day; her hair has to be in either a braid or a headband (with a big flower on it); her favorite songs are Firework by Katy Perry, Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift and Beach in Hawaii by Ziggy Marley; she loves to play with our ears (which drives us crazy!) and she is doing really well with writing and spelling her name (we are still working on Y and N)!

Here are some pictures from the past several months:
