Summer Recap:
- We sold and bought a new house in Louisville. We are missing our old house and neighborhood, but we are absolutely loving our new home! We moved from a very lively area to a nice family friendly neighborhood. I think it will be a great fit for our family as we continue to grow :)
- With that being said, we are expecting baby Allain #3 in January. I am a little over halfway there and we are getting nervous and excited. We are not finding out if it is a boy or a girl, so that leaves us with a huge surprise! Annabel believes it is a girl and named the baby Kate, but now the baby is Sandy...after the dog in the movie Annie. She somewhat understands that the baby will come when it snows and after Santa comes. It is a lot of fun with her having a little bit of an understanding as to what is happening. She would like for the baby to share a room with her.
- Uncle Noel (Austin's Brother) got married over the summer to the most lovely girl, Mary. Austin and I were able to get away for the weekend alone to celebrate the big event in NY. We are so happy for both Noel and Mary and so excited for Mary to be a part of our family :)
- Daddy started back up at Lowe Elementary and is loving it. I feel it is a great fit for him and we are very lucky. We have attended many school events as a whole family, which has been a lot of fun. Annabel is excited to go to school with daddy when she is five!
- Annabel started back to school and is in the 3 day 3's class; which meets on MWF. Annabel seems to be really enjoying school and meeting a lot of new friends. When she gets home she pretend plays things they did in school. Yesterday we played the "Name Game" for about 30 minutes. She was the teacher and mommy, daddy, and Bryton were the students. It was too funny!
- Bryton started PDO and goes to the same school as Annabel on Wednesdays. I am not sure if he is loving it, but he has only been two times.
- ANNABEL: she is at an awesome age! She is so funny and chatty. The only downside we are having right now is figuring out our day with no nap. She does not nap and Bryton can nap up to three hours, so we have a long afternoon together while we wait for him to wake up. She loves doing crafts, reading books, very interested in ballet, likes the show Sesame Street, and still not the best sleeper. Upcoming events: first soccer game is tomorrow and starts ballet on Tuesday. She is totally pumped!
- BRYTON: funny, adorable, mess! He is our destroyer :) He throws everything, eats anything, and loves to run like his sister. He thinks it is absolutely hilarious to run away from me. He has the most adorable grin....gets me every time! Bryton is saying a lot more words, but still very much a yeller. He had his first round of antibiotics this past week for a sinus infection, but seems to be doing a lot better. He is not the best sleeper these days and sometimes the only thing that calms him down in the middle of the night is if we change his diaper or at least lay him on his changing pad. He is such a goof!
Annabel went to a week long summer art camp. She loved it and brought home a lot of fun art pieces.
Watch out! Two crazy kids driving a bus!
