September! :)

First month of school done. Fall is here. Lots of tidbits for our "family photo album" that I want to make sure to not get lost in my iphoto library! We've been busy now that we are back into the school and daycare routine, but it was a good month!

The weather in September was pretty great, and we make sure to take advantage to be outside whenever possible!

Playing soccer

Ryan's mini me :)

Riding around the driveway in pj's

Hanging out on the back deck - getting tackled by my favorite 2-year-old

Little climber

Annual Apple picking at Crane's

Little ladies are a perfect way to help reach the best apples at the top of the tree!

This girl was REALLY excited to pick apples :)

At the end of the month, we also hung out at Dutch Treat campground for their Halloween weekend. The girls picked pumpkins, which they thought was pretty fun.

They got to go on a wagon ride with cousin Annie

 

And a little trick-or-treating, too. (Camryn was terrified most of the time - she is not a fan of almost all kids in costumes. Maybe next year she will like it better. :))

 The glow sticks were their favorite part.

We got to celebrate Tess's first birthday this month, too!
Cousins playing

Cake time

These girls love their cupcakes

And of course they wanted to help Tess open her gifts

Jeff and I attempting to put together one of Tess's toys

The girls crashed on the way home. :)

Lots of other random moments....

A ride home one day after school when Taylor was not feeling well

Taylor reading her book from preschool to her My Little Ponies

Taking advantage of a hot weekend to pull the sprinklers back out

Cam - my little snuggle buddy (with lambie and pink taggie, too, of course)

And also my little shopping buddy

Lots of sweet sister moments

Dinner - while working on their computers ;)

Working hard after school

It was a good month. :) It feels like the rest of 2014 is going to go pretty quick...holiday season is coming up fast! ;)

Last days of summer...

The first Saturday of the school year, I find myself looking back at the last days of summer. It already seems like it was summer break more than a week ago.

The girls came to school with me a few times as I was getting things ready. And the best part of a kindergarten classroom is all the toys. :)

But there was still lots of time outside

We got a few appointments in before the year, including a check-up of Cam's ears at the ENT. It was not a perfect report - the left side didn't heal quite right, but for now, it's okay, and just something we will have to watch as she gets older.
Getting ready to go

Cuties reading in the waiting room.

The face of a little one who had to skip her nap.

Lunch outside. (My favorite because then I don't have to clean the floor afterward :))

Cam crushing some broccoli

Taylor reading books to Camryn - can't get enough of this

Sleepy face

And a few end of the summer thunderstorms... Camryn has developed a fear of thunder in the past few weeks
So we went from this...happy and smiling, eating a snack outside

To this...only wanting to be held close. That face... so sweet.

Taylor could care less and just wants to run in the rain. :)

And these were the best "first day of school" pictures we could get as we were quickly trying to get out the door! Crazy kids. :)

This one will probably end up at Taylor's high school graduation party. :)

Now that the school year has started, I am ready for fall!!
