First day of school

Our First Grader

 Katelyn's first day was yesterday.  She loved being there all day and especially eating there.  She said the lunch room was hard to talk in because it was so loud.  Her teacher this year is Mrs. Goodman.  Her best friend, Emily is in her class again this year.  She is so excited to go to school.  I love that.  I didn't mind school, but there were certain years that were really hard to go.  I'm sure we will get to that when girls start being mean and catty.  If you want to see how much she has grown from last year on the first day, you can find that here.

 Juliette has been a real stinker lately.  She loves to sit on our kitchen table so we have to keep the chair backward.  If we forget, this is what we find.

Our garden has done really well this year.  We planted pumpkins, green onions, cucumber, zucchini, chives, thyme, basil, oregano, anaheim, pablano, tomatoes, and cantaloupe.

In our very own pumpkin patch.

Picking and eating cherry tomatoes!

Look Dad, No Wheels!

This last weekend we took Katelyn's training wheels off her bike, which she has been dreading.  She picked it up the first day.  The next day she was super excited to go out and try again and by the end of practicing she could even start by herself.  She kept saying "It's so much fun!"  We told her it would be, but what does Nate and I know.  I am so proud of her.
