Happy Birthday Ailey!
It seems as though I have forgotten about the blog, or perhaps just neglected it immensely! We had a fantastic, but very busy summer. In June Ailey and I cut off 8 inches of our hair and donated it to the Pantene Beautiful locks campaign, which makes free wigs for cancer patients.
We are loving the ease of shorter hair!
Blake raced in seven triathlons this summer and I participated in my first two. Blake finished third overall in the Olympic triathlon in Tawas and finished first in his age group in every other race, he is amazing! I had some bike issues in both races, but felt a great sense of accomplishment and felt like an athlete for the first time in my life!
The girls are growing and growing! Ailey celebrated her fourth birthday on July 10th. We had a party with her friends before we left and had a fun dinner at the cottage with the grandparents on her real birthday.
We spent all of July and August in Traverse City at the cottage, and had three trips to Harbor Springs. Georgea, Dennis and the girls were there for most of the summer so it was crazy, but so much fun! It had been a full year since we had seen my sister and the girls! We also had many great weekends with friends and family that came to visit!
We also had a fabulous time when Uncle Bryce, Aunt Christa and Baby Caden in Harbor Springs! The girls love their cousin sooooo much!
Ailey has become a terrific swimmer and Kristiana is talking in full sentences and says just about everything! Koda loved his time at the lake! I think we wore Yia Yia and Papou out, but we feel so blessed to have had time together.
In September Ailey started four year old preschool three days a week and she is loving it. She also started Sunday school. We can't believe how mature she seems. She is starting to write more words and it "trying" to read :)
