The Big Helper!

Evie was off school a few days and she spent Thursday over at my sister's house helping with baby Genevieve. Stephanie said she was a big helper and loved to hold her! I thought I would share a pic, however my sis doesn't allow pics of her kids to be posted on the internet, so you will have to use your imagination...her outfit is cute though!

Josie Girl!

I wanted to give an update on our Josie girl since most of my recent posts have been about Evie!

Josie is growing up so fast! She is such a joy! She is very goal-oriented, has great energy, and is such a jabber bug! She says anything and everything now and asks tons of questions! She sings her ABC's, counts to 15 and is working on her colors! She absolutely loves baby dolls and real babies. She started gymnastics a few weeks ago, and absolutely loves it! She does however bounce some of the kids right off the trampoline and yells "no" at others when they try to jump in the foam pit with her, but other then that it is going great! (pics to come)

We are so blessed to have two wonderful little girls in our lives!

Field trip to the Fire House

Evie's class went on a walking field trip to the Edwardsville Fire House last Wednesday! They had so much fun! They got to walk through the firetrucks and ambulance, shoot the fire hose, take a tour of the entire fire house and learn lots fire safety tips! Evie loved every minute of it!

Soccer + Evie=The unexpected!

Evie had her first official soccer game on September 12 and I am finally getting around to posting pics of the exciting game! It is so funny to watch all the children run to the ball, but not make much contact...I understand why Evie's coach refers to it as "herd ball". Nevertheless, we are enjoying watching Evie, whether it is kicking the ball or doing somersaults down the field, it makes it that much more fun, because we never know what to expect.

Evie's fan club! Josie, Emma and Dominic. Josie sits on her little chair and yells "go Evie go!"

She just scored!!
