Happenings

Summer is officially over and fall weather is rolling in.  We managed to squeeze in one last day of swimming at aunt Kelly’s before the weather turned.  We had such a great summer swimming over there this year.  Maggie learned to dive to the bottom for toys and Tommy fell in love with the slide.  Thanks for having us all the time Kelly! 

Maggie and I did a kid’s workshop at Home Depot; it was a lot of fun.  Maggie already wants to go back.  We also celebrated Grandma Krumm’s 80^th birthday.  We had family photos that day so the kids all looked so cute, including matching bow ties for Tommy and Teddy.  We finally have a lawn!  Susie has cut it twice now.  All kids have been happy and healthy, and mommies have been busy but enjoying every second with our little monsters.

This picture cracks me up

Maggie building her Wizard of Oz birdhouse.  I was actually impressed with her hammering skills. She put all but 2 nails in all by herself.

Tommy showed off his driving skills to Grandma Krumm

When we built our big walk-in shower we never knew it would get used as much as it does.  

The kids usually pick showers over baths every time. 

Maggie passed Level 3!

And quickly began Level 4 last week.
