2. So let's get started.
3. Nate turned the big 0-4 in July! He's the biggest four-year-old in the history of ever. Of course, we had the traditional grandparent party with cake and whatnot.
(Not pictured: napping baby brother.)
Nate loves his friends, telling jokes that make no sense, cuddling, getting my full attention, corn dogs, the color green, peeing on the fence, playing Candy Land, and Brooke.
He doesn't like sharing, taking naps, anything I make for dinner, and babies that take his toys.
Oh, I do love that one. Happy 4th birthday to you, Nate. :-)
4. Brooke lost her first tooth and now she looks like a big girl and that makes me a little sad.
5. Eli is 18 months now! He doesn't say much yet, but he loves to dance. He'll make an excellent husband someday.
6. Brooke started KINDERGARTEN!! Sheesh. She's getting so big.
I'm very proud to report that I didn't cry. I almost cried, but I didn't. She was just so ready and excited that it was hard to be sad. She wanted to ride the bus and everything. Her first day was "amazing" and the "best day ever." Hopefully she can keep this attitude up for the next thirteen years.
7. And that's about it! I have plans to keep up with blogging in the upcoming months. I've missed it. :-)












Wonderful, as usual! I'm not a weepy person, but your blog always makes me cry (in a good way, really!) By the way, your mom is not the only one who checks in periodically... : )
ReplyDeleteAmy!! Glad you are back! The kids are getting TOO big!
ReplyDeleteI love your rendition of Nate, the pics of Brooke and Eli, and your cute silver flip flops!
Praying for sweet girl as she settles into school!
I laughed out loud at #5, HILARIOUS! This blog is so great Amy, and FYI I was just reading a blog today about how to tell good professional pics from "fauxtographers" and then in looking at all our Christmas cards, unsurprisingly, I could tell that YOUR pic of your kids was better than anybody else's. I can't wait until we get back to St. Louis. I won't have to do any research - we will hire YOU and pay top dollar if you'll take our family pics!
