My Baby is Growing Up! :) :(

In the last two weeks, Em has started taking tap and ballet and she's now going to preschool. How can she be that grown up?! I guess it's the lament of every mother, but the time has gone by so quickly. She loves them both, but has confessed that she thinks craft time is a little boring---a girl after my own heart!

Take Me Out to the...Baseball Hall of Fame

Labor Day found us crossing off another spot on our "To See List." Well, I don't know if it was on my list, but it's been on Dennis's! We made a 3 hour trip to the village of Cooperstown, NY. It really is just a village, surrounded by rolling hills, cows, barns, and a beautiful lake. The museum offered a kids' scavenger hunt, so Cardon, Em andI were off to find the items on the list. Dennis and Chiara, on the other hand, spent a few blissful hours drooling and breathing heavily on glass cases displaying the bats, baseballs, and old cleats of long-dead players! A good day was had by all :)

These Are A Few Of My (Idaho, Wyoming & Utah) Things

When I was downloading photos from the first day of school, I couldn't help but admire some of our summer vacation photos! (OK, so the photo with Em's eyes closed is not one of my favorites, but I put the wrong photo in!) I will figure this thing out eventually--I think.
