Oh my, it is hard to know where to begin when describing Carter these days, but one thing is certain: he loves music. He bobs his head while driving down the road, he points to the sound dock for us to put on some tunes, and his most recent discovery is his love for the guitar.
Taylor had her first day of preschool today and handled it like a pro. She was very excited and wanted no help from Mom with her backpack or a kiss good-bye. 
This is Taylor's cubby where she hangs her back pack outside of her classroom.
Taylor is welcomed with a hug from Mrs Johnson. I think it is going to be a great experience for Taylor.
This is Taylor just after getting home from preschool. So happy.
Carter had his first actual "play date" the other day with his friend Josh from church. They are just 4 weeks apart in age and actually did some playing together.
Taylor also had a play date with her friends Kylie and Jaclyn. She was in her glory all day. They wore princess gowns all day and played with absolutely everything we have and there wasn't one disagreement.
Hailey was welcomed home by her brother the other day with a good tackle.
Oh my, Hailey started 1st Grade today. I can't believe it. She will be going to school everyday this year and I'm sure loving every minute of it. She did really well today and was really excited about finding her desk and looking through all of her beautiful workbooks.
This weekend we celebrated my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. So many friends, co-workers, and family came to celebrate with us. It was great to honor their commitment to each other.

Taylor gets some pretty crazy hair with the humidity
The past couple of days have been really rainy and gloomy resulting in some serious cabin fever at my house; frightening.
