It's that time of the year where we are just settling in to our daily routine and schedule, with the occasional smattering of birthday parties or family outings over the weekend.
The kids have already been in school for an entire quarter, and they are doing quite well; our first parent/teacher conference this week left us feeling proud and happy with their progress in school, both scholastically and socially. Hard to believe we're already 1/4 of the way done with the school year!
Meanwhile, we continue to tackle our workload, the daily grind. Noses buried deep in our responsibilities, sometimes just giving ourselves a moment or two to come up for air. Soon the holiday craziness will be upon us, but until then, we're keeping busy.
Here was our week:
Maddy working on some building blocks at the Science Center.
He put the arch together all by himself!
Braelyn perfecting her headstand!
1-2-3…OJA!!!
Swung by a Fall Festival at Magnolia Park Friday afternoon.
Looks like all of Apopka showed up!
They enjoyed playing the games for prizes.
Drummer playing a pretty good beat on his stool drum.
Mommy helping Braelyn give Tux a bath.
Lunch at the senior Jamersons in Sanford, celebrating Jeremy's birthday.
The kids enjoying their pool afterwards.
The 'lyns giving each other hugs goodbye.
Mommy baked a cake in celebration of Papa Dave's birthday!
It was very good!
Took the kids to Epcot Sunday morning for a few hours.
Great weather to enjoy the Food & Wine festival.
Starting to cool down in the mornings, just enough for a jacket!
Afternoon snack!
Nice to have an older sister as your math tutor!
Mommy home early one night to do story time. What a treat!
Enjoying her chocolate cake pop from the bake sale benefitting Breast Cancer Awareness.
Brae missed out on the bake sale so we swung by a bakery in College Park so she could get a cookie too.
Working on their Legos together.
Uncle Mike was in town this week and swung by to see the kids before bedtime.
Uncle Roger was in town as well so we planned a get together for the evening.
It was great catching up, sharing stories and reminiscing of when we were kids together.
Randoms:
Excited to go see her friend!
The twins were a bit wary of the gorilla in our midst.
Fall spread for Jeremy's birthday. Can you guess our contribution?
Maddy saw this at EPCOT and asked Mommy what it was! Wow.
I didn't catch any poignant quotes this week! But hopefully we'll have some next week, right Maddy?
Thank you all Very Much for the Birthday song!!! It was the most Beautiful Choir I have ever seen!! Papa Dave
