Busy September

September 28 already and the twins are 18 months old. Around 26 lbs. each and in the 93rd percentile for height, they are moving right along in the growing and learning.  Sydney started preschool and it has been a busy month!  Tuesday and Thursday mornings fly by and there is a lot of carseat buckling and unbuckling but Syd is loving preschool and she adores her teacher.  We started out the month taking care of our monarch caterpillars as they turned into beautiful butterflies.


Over Labor Day weekend, Dan and I also managed to get away for a night while his parents watched the kiddos for us.  We had a great day on Pelee Island and spent the night at a beautiful bed & breakfast in SW Ontario, Iron Kettle.

While we rode bikes around the island, sipped wine, went out to dinner, and slept in, the kids did this (the only thing I don't have a photo of is my 3 kids and their cousin Leah up at 10pm watching cartoons in the basement with Opa & Oma thanks to the thunderstorm!):







This month we also watched Uncle/brother-in-law Jon compete in the Reed's Lake Triathlon

Other than that, it's just been the usual chaos and cuteness around here.  The pool is closed, we are appreciating every last nice day by playing outside, school is in session, moms' church group starts next week, the leaves are falling and the apples are ready for picking.  I love fall!







And maybe I've just never had a boy before (or a coordinated child?), but I think this is a future soccer player!
