... and August is upon us.

It's hard to believe that it is August already. Before we know it school will be starting, the leaves will be changing, we'll be digging out warmer clothes, and then the first snowflakes will fall.

We have been taking advantage of the warm weather the last couple weeks. We have spent a lot of time outside - attempting to cool off. Friends have introduced us to Moore Park in Brookline. It has a nice play gym, but also has 2 large pillars with sprinklers on top. It sprays 360 ยบ around an enclosed area, and is a great place for kids to play. Joshua had a great time running around in circles. I think he was more wet that afternoon than he is during bathtime!


We have made yet another trip to Round Hill Farm this week. This time we took Amy, Big Gregg and Little Gregg, too. This was the first time they had been there, and Little Gregg loved it as much as Joshua always does.




We have been in contact with a very reputable preschool in Mt. Lebanon this month. We are hoping to enroll Joshua into their 2 yr old program in September. It is 2 days a week, for 2 hours each day. He seems to be excited about the prospects of going to school like a big kid. Apparently he has been told you learn how to play hockey at school, and he is anxious for that, as well. As much as I'm a little anxious about sending him somewhere without me, I am looking forward to some alone time with Chelsea.

Chelsea is going to be a year old next month... it's hard to believe that much time has gone by. She is growing up so quickly! She can say several words - Mama, Dada, Josh, Cat, Hi and Uhoh. She has started pulling herself up a little bit. She's not quite standing, but I'm sure she'll be there soon. She is quite accomplished at climbing over things, and getting into EVERYTHING! I'm not quite sure what I'll do once she's actually walking *laugh*.
