It's Here

All weekend I've had a lump in my throat and am a heartbeat away from tears streaming down my face.  That can only mean one thing for a typically very even-keel person...summer is officially over.  I just had 2.5 months with my most favorite people.  And, I know, how could I complain?

For Kate, Summer 2014 was highlighted by swimming and biking.  She really took off with both in the last couple of months.  And she is just getting so big, and so funny, and even more observant, and entirely too cute.  Kate loves school.  She is thrilled to be upstairs at Kensington School with the "big kids".  She is happy at her school and I'm confident her transition back will be an easy one.

For Jack, Summer 2014 was highlighted by jumping and sitting up.  I have never seen a baby dominate a jumperoo with a smile on his face like Jack Eder (see photo).  He is transitioning, though, to enjoying the freedom of sitting on the floor and grabbing anything in his reach.  But most of all, he loves watching every move his big sister makes.  We are excited about the in-home babysitter he will have this year and, since he is the only one there, all the attention he will get.  Because Jack will smile and laugh for just about everybody, we think he will have the DiZillo's eating out of his hand by approximately 7:48 tomorrow morning.

Alright, only 180 days to go.  Lets do this.
