Summer happenings and back to school...

I've not been to good about updating during the summer...you would think I had lots of time on my hands. Well we have actually been rather busy this summer--but all stuff we wanted to do, of course.

Anne has been such a joy! Michael and I have had the best time being home with her this summer. She is learning so much so fast!!! Everyday she is making new sounds and doing new tricks. Some of the latest:

17 and 1/2 months old and weighs 24 pounds...

Likes: talking...I just wish we could understand it all, anything to do with outside, balls, sitting in grown up chairs, sitting on the potty (but not using it!), swimming in the bathtub, taking off her diaper, playing chase, singing/doing the motions to patty cake, itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, riding her rocking horse, playing with any kind of remote, opening dvd cases, playing with other children, CLIMBING on everything!

Dislikes: getting anything taken away from her, the word NO, anyone leaving(without her), eating healthy food...this one is about to get me down, getting out of the bathtub, going to bed, I'm sure there are more, but I'm having trouble thinking right now.

Here are a few of my favorite recent pictures of us...
