First day of school!

Well, it's official, Ailey is a student! Ailey started preschool today and will start going two days a week. The day started off a little rough as she was pulled from my arms crying; however, she pulled it together and had a great day. The school even called to say how great she was doing. We are so fortunate that she has such compassionate teachers!

We are so excited about this new adventure for Ailey. She is such a bright little girl and we can't wait to see how she will learn and grow.

Kristiana will be learning at home. She now says "hi, mama, daddy, A-wee, Yia Yia, Bapou, Nana, Bapa." She also waves "hi", "bye", claps, and raises her arms for "so much." She is standing by herself and getting close to taking her first steps :)

We love summer!

Wow! We had an amazing two months in Northern Michigan. We feel so blessed to have had so much time at the cottage and some time at Kenny condo. Our summer began with a fabulous fourth of July in Harbor Springs, and a great visit from the Hefka family! Then, we were off to the cottage for Ailey's third birthday!

We especially loved our time with the Heppner cousins, the Karras girls and our "Camp Cousins" family reunion weekend with the Tarachas and Vlangos families. It is amazing how one little cottage can bring so much joy to so many people. We are so grateful for the time we had with so many wonderful friends and family. We will cherish our summer memories, until next year :)
