First Day of School

Caroline started a toddler preschool program this week! She was so excited to go; here she is in the car all ready!She had such a great time playing with all of the other kids! Here she is headed home after a great day with her dinosaur bag made by her Aunt Maxine; she was so excited to put it in her locker! We are so proud of our big girl!

Rosh Hashanah

We took our first family trip to Lexington to have dinner at Uncle Rick and Aunt Lynn's house for Rosh Hashanah. Caroline and Jacob did a great job on the trip and had fun seeing family. Their grandma and grandpa came to stay with us for a few days afterward, and we had so much fun with them!

More Visits from Grandparents

Caroline and Jacob's Mimi also came from Texas to help us as Ken and I have gotten back to teaching as the fall semester started. We loved having her here, and Jacob had lots of good snuggling time with his Mimi!

Visits from Grandparents

We have been so lucky to have visits from ALL of Caroline and Jacob's grandparents. We have had so much fun having them here and have so appreciated all of their help! Here is Caroline and Jacob's granddad here from Texas. He came the day after Jacob was born (good planning by Jacob!) and helped us in the first few days home from the hospital. We got to have a big celebration dinner while Ken's parents were also here.

Brother and Sister

Caroline is GREAT big sister to Jacob! She loves to rub his head and point out all of his body parts (he has only been poked in the eye once so far!). Here are a few cute pics of the duo so far.
