Well, August is almost over and school is just around the corner. Wow, I cannot believe summer is almost over. How quickly this summer has gone. The kids are getting ready for school. We have to get busy buying school supplies.

Kristina starts high school and is so excited and nervous. She doesn't have to wear uniforms at her new school so she's having fun shopping. She already has her class schedule and is looking forward to taking drama.

Eddie is going into 6th grade. He just started his first season of football and is very busy these next two weeks with practices everyday. I took him to get his equipment last Saturday and he was so excited to put everything on. He's hoping to be a wide receiver.

Clayton turns 4 years old this week. Where has the time gone. Wow! He starts preschool again soon and is looking forward to seeing all of his friends at "playschool". He took swimming lessons las fall and spring and is looking forward to swimming classes again this fall.

And then there's Kaitlyn, our little princess. She is 9 months old and has taken several steps. She can stand without holding on and just started crawling around on her feet and hands (the crab crawl). It is soooo funny to watch. What's even more funny is how quickly she gets around. Her new thing now is to stick out her tongue really fast and when she doesn't want anymore to eat, she blocks the spoon with her tongue. How do they know to do this? She went for her 9 mo checkup yesterday and weighs 19 lbs 2 oz and is 28 inches long. What a big girl! Oh, and she is such a daddy's girl. She loves for dada to hold her upside down and loves to cuddle with him. Dada loves it too, of course! :)
