One big blog!!!

For beginners I cannot believe summer's ending. But I do love what that means!! FALL is here and my apple and spice candles are filling up my house with yummy-ness. I am so excited for so many things happening for our family in the coming months. We get to send Jaelyn to preschool 3 days a week, starting next Wednesday then she will go M W T for 3 hours in the mornings. We had her orientation this week. Tom and I went alone on Thursday to meet the teacher's (again) and the director talked with all of the parents. It's such a neat little church, I guess that's all that is little because they've been a Preschool since 1965. The wife of the pastor had a child and she wanted her child to have some kids to play with. That's how the preschool began and it hasn't stopped growing. They have the preschool that Jaelyn will attend which is in the church building, this is only preschool ages 3-5. Then they have another building with K-8 and that has over 200 kids. So they have a great repuatation in our town. I'm excited too that we can walk there! It's a mere 3 blocks away from our house! Tom is so excited to walk her or ride her on his bike everyday. These are the times he really appreciates working from home. He is superdad and doesn't miss out on anything, is always with us and it's amazing. Time is precious and we are taking advantage of all of the time we can together, as a family!
Checking out her preschool!






We have a lot of neat stuff that goes on here in Canal Winchester and our surrounding areas so we stay so busy during the summer months. Most of the festivals around here have yummy junk food, fresh squeezed lemonade and of course rides for the kids. My kids are definitely spoiled when it comes to having fun. Their Dad always makes sure they have tons of it!

Jaelyn and Nicco would go down this slide 100 times if they could!





Kids first ride together, besides the carousel. They loved it as you can tell.




Tom & his childhood buddy Bob




The girls playing in the fountain, it was terribly hot!




My kids LOVE corn on the cob!






My boys!!!






Another thing we've done A LOT this summer is hit the park!

Nicco's a pro on all slides and will climb the highest ladders to the big slides! Scares the wits outta me but his Dad is always underneath him just in case. Such a careful Daddy but let's them push their safety zones a bit.
The way to go is backwards and on your tummy if you ask Nic!





Jae loves the park, anything that she can climb on, jump over, dance around, and try to figure out she's on it! She's become quite the spunky little gal! She's definitely acting way older than just turning 3!





Besides loving the park, Jaelyn is also very fond of make-up and nail polish right now. She's been asking me for the past six months if she could paint her nails herself. I kept saying maybe when you're bigger like Mommy you can do it. Well I finally got tired of hearing it, so I found her some nail polish and she's done it by herself and did a fabulous job!!



I wasn't exaggerating when I said SUPERDAD!!



My life!!




We've ran many miles (sometimes the heat is unbearable, even at night!) and the kids love it. We have a nice wide sidewalk trail that runs from our house and continues around a big loop for about a 4 mile total run. It's perfect because there's a park halfway through the run and we usually stop and let the kids play before finishing up.
Nicco is quite the pro at climbing anything, he's just as determined as his sister and will do something even if we all think there is no way he can! He's all boy and wild and non-stop! But he's handsome and sweet as they come.



Now while all of this fun is going on Channing has been strapped to Mommy or Daddy!!



She's been such a wonderful addition to our already awesome family! She's a perfect baby, besides taking medicine for acid reflux and getting a tummy ache every few days she's PERFECT! She is sleeping great goes from about 10pm until 8am! She knows Mommy and Daddy need their sleep! She absolutely loves to go for runs in the jogging stroller. She smirks every time she's in it.



Sweetest girl around town!




Always has a sibling trying to love on her.





Of course we've made so many trips to the wonderful Columbus Zoo & Aquarium that I have thousands of pictures..here's just a couple from our last visit. Nicco love watching the fish!!





Hope you enjoyed an update! I'm going to be a better blogger PROMISE!!!
