August 2016



Aurora learned how to ride a pedal bike at camp this summer! We sent her to the Avid Learn to Bike Camp, just hoping to get her more excited about biking, and she came home after the first day saying she had learned how to ride. She spent the rest of the week learning not to crash into the other kids :)



Matt and I took the kids to Deer Valley for a much needed vacation. It was a 7.5 hour drive but we all survived and it was actually much easier than flying! We spent the week hiking and hanging with the kids. One day Matt and Aurora actually climbed all the way up the mountain and rode the chairlift down. She was so proud!







Mimi and Papa came to visit and take care of the house and dogs while we were in Deer Valley. They came up a few days before we left and then stayed a few days after we got back. It was perfect to get two mini visits with them. They also got to pretend that they already lived in Denver for a week and just relax here.


Aurora started Kindergarten at The Logan School! She has loved it from second one and never had a moment of being nervous or scared, just super super excited. Coming from the girl who cried almost every time we dropped her off at Temple Emanuel that is really saying something.


Connor also started school! He is a Squirrel Nutkin -- 2's class at Paddington Station :) He goes MWF mornings and seems pretty happy. It is a whole new experience so he is rightly a little cautious, but we haven't had any tears yet so, YAY!


Cooper at 10 months -- I can't believe I don't have any notes here for July or August!! Yikes.
