It's been a good summer!

The kids have had a fun summer...from pirate adventures in the backyard to underwater creatures at the aquarium. Check out the Summer 2008 slide show below to see all the pictures! (Special thanks to Auntie Mel for being our summer event photographer! lol)

As a sign that summer is drawing to a close, Ashton started preschool a few weeks ago. He attends twice a week for a few hours and seems to be enjoying it. He still has a bit of separation anxiety and he gets easily overwhelmed but he says that he likes school and he's always excited to go.

On the subject of going...we've stalled out in potty training. It was going well for awhile and then Ashton regressed and at this point pretty much refuses to use the potty. Sigh. He's holding out... it's definitely a control thing so we're trying not to push. All bets are that Sierra is potty trained before Ashton though!

The little girl is walking all over the place and starting to talk. She's a smart a little cookie and she REALLY likes to test her limits! She's gonna be our trouble maker for sure! She's loving the warm weather and it's impossible to keep her out of the water. She's a little water sprite; if the garden hose or sprinkler is on, she's there (and soaked)! We'll have to get in as many more days outside as we can before fall. Ashton however is already excited for Halloween!
