Fall is here, which means life is getting busier and busier. Our biggest news is that Maggie can ride a 2-wheeler now! She's been so frustrated and scared, and she finally conquered it! We worked in a big empty parking lot, and I just kept running with her until she got it.
The girls were supposed to play soccer in the spring, but the season was postponed until the fall. Evie had her first practice last week, and had a good time (one of her classmates is also on the team). Maggie and Ben came with us, but Maggie quickly made a new friend and was off playing. Maggie's first practice is this week, and she's excited!

Things are still going well at school, so far they are excited to go every day!
Evie uncharacteristically asked me to take a photo of her
We celebrated my dad's 75th birthday! Hard to believe!

Jamie's father's day gift this year was a tent, which we never got around to using. So he finally set it up for a backyard campout with the girls. They had the best time, though I think no one got more than a few hours' sleep... it was a cranky Sunday, but I think the great memory was worth it! (Ben and I slept peacefully in the house!)
Ready for the great outdoors!
We went to the cider mill last weekend for some nice outdoor fun time. We walked the trail, and Ben flirted with everyone we walked past. The girls and Jamie explored the riverbank, and we all enjoyed cider and donuts after!
Ben was not in the mood for photos

He really loves carrying an umbrella like a cane
Pony rides for the win!
Ben had his doctor checkup and is doing great! He has entered a shy phase around strangers, so he kept hiding behind his hands when the doctor or nurse were around. He's about 26.5 lb and 34.25 inches tall now. Ben is a chatter box and has several words in his vocabulary. One of my favorite phrases is when he's really tired, he'll come to me and say "night night." His favorite thing right now is his toothbrush which he calls "teeth" and gets really angry when we put it away.

Aunt Amy sent us a backpack of family activities from their church, which included M&M cookies!
