Conner

This Conner at his swim lessons. At the end of each lesson his swim teacher would let all the kids take 2 jumps off the diving board. Conner took full advantage of these and would either do a 360, front flip, or a cannon ball. Talk about fun to watch, he is always so much fun to watch at what ever he is doing because he is so coordinated.

My talented Sis-in-law took these pics back in May and it's taken me far too long to post them. If anyone wants to know, her name is Kate Benson. You can look her up at katebensonphotography.blogspot.com. She's really good!

Noelle is......full of life, beautiful, smart, kind, coordinated, lovely, jealous, funny, curious, spontaneous, helpful, naughty sometimes, sharing, neat, full of love......and she starts kindergarten on Thurs. She is beside herself with excitement! We met with her teacher today and I couldn't believe how smart she is. You'd think I would know these things and.....the truth is I did know that she was smart but I didn't realized just how well she knew her stuff. I sat there listening to her talk to her teacher and recite all that she knew and I couldn't help but be so proud of her. She is the only one of my kids, so far, that is most like me when it comes to being protective of her stuff. I always had all my favorite things stuffed somewhere special just the way she does. My favorite clothes were always hung up nicely, just like hers are, and I would wait until school started to wear any of my new clothes, just like she has. She's overly sensitive like I am, worries about what people think of her and if she has very many friends. I'm excited for her to start school to see what this new phase of life brings her way. I loved school and was always so excited for the new year to begin, she is the same. Last year when she found out that it would be one more year before she got to go to Cedar Ridge she cried, just like this year when she found out that she had to wait one week longer before starting. I love you Noelle.
