Fall is here....

It has been so long since I have blogged & so much is happening. Taylor is officially in pre-school and doing really well. She likes her new teachers Ms. Brigilio and Mr. Franklin. Mr. Franklin plays guitar and knows Justin Roberts so she pretty much is hooked on him & Ms. Brigilio teaches her new things everyday. She also attends a drama class thru Emerald City Theater and they are working on a production of Where the Wild Things Are. I can't wait to see it. She also is in a dance class and gymnastics. Luckily two of them are thru the after school program so we don't have to take up all of our weekend time (Which of course is never enough time).

Taylor is talking non-stop. She loves to play teacher and read to 'her kids'. She also likes to tell us all what we are not doing correctly. She is a bit bossy. We are just getting ready for fall and hope to be enjoying the season in our great city!!! We took in our first Cubs game a couple of weeks ago and Taylor lasted till the top of the 8th. SHe was a trooper. She said the ballpark was too loud. Taylor loves to take Roxie for long walks and is getting to be quite the bike rider. We had to say bye to grandma and grandpa Donnelly for the season and can't wait till they come back. Taylor was very excited that they were going to visit the White House.

Here are some pics from our summer adventures.....
