Feeling Like Fall

 Grandparents Day at Kensington School

 Mad jumping skills

 We were all happy to celebrate Joe's birthday, but Drew was especially excited when Kate initiated shooting baskets

 Kate might look like she is going to eat that apple, but it would have to be dipped in chocolate for her to consider it.

Disney on Ice

Kate enjoyed her first Disney on Ice experience today!  She especially enjoyed seeing Ariel, her wand, wearing a crown and the concession stand :)

Sports Weekend

After spending Saturday in Dwight cheering on Uncle Mike's softball team and Sunday watching the Bears win the season opener, Kate has had her fill of sports!

What better way to finish the weekend than with a nice, relaxing pedi...

Big Sister!

Kate is very excited that she will be a BIG SISTER in January!  She is certain the baby is a girl and that the baby's name will be "Baby Kate".  When we mentioned that it was possible the baby would be a boy, her face filled with shock:)  Although we won't know until the baby is born whether it will be a boy or girl, Kate will definitely be a great big sister!

First Day of School

Kate had her first full day at Kensington School in LaGrange today!  She ate, slept, went potty in the toilet and made a jelly fish so I'd say it was a successful day.  It is definitely safe to say that she had an easier time with it than her parents did!  We expect, in a few short weeks, Kate will be the mayor of the "2's" room.

Gymnastics

Kate really enjoyed the first few weeks of her gymnastics class this summer!  The last couple of weeks were not quite as enjoyable, but she battled through it :)  She has two things going for her in terms of her future gymnastic endeavors...1. A low, solid center of gravity (good balance) and 2. Pure strength!

Water Fun

In an attempt to squeeze every ounce of fun we could out of the summer, Drew, Kate and I took off for a quick trip to Wisconsin Dells.  Kate loved and we will most definitely be back!
