Anna and Carter have been having lots of fun playing together at home. Anna is learning to share her toys, which is a good thing because Carter is going to be her size soon! He actually pulled a spoon right out of her hand the other day, even though she was trying not to let him! We were all amazed (especially Anna) by his brutish strength!

Yes, that is Anna's hand peeking out from under her blankie to pat Carter on the head, "That's a good buddy," she says to him. Clearly he doesn't seem to mind. He loves his sister!!

They are starting to spend more time together....

She loves to read him books and he loves to chew on them when she's done.

We spent a fun morning picking apples and doing a hayride last week. She had a blast smelling the "pretty flowers"

Here we are with Anna's friend Lily and my friend Lisa. We've been spending lots of time with them and Anna likes to talk about Lily a lot now.

Anna was very proud of the apples we picked and she got to carry them around, although she found them to be very heavy.

First day of school! Anna started her mother's day out program today at St. Ann's with her friend Lily. Anna had an absolute blast. The teacher said she didn't cry at all and was "cute as a button". We didn't get a ton of pictures because it was raining and a little hectic, but we'll get some next week with Lily outside the school. She was very excited and apparently spent most of the time mothering 2 baby dollies.

Oh, my backpack is so heavy!!!

After I put the backpack on her, she said, "Okay, let's boogie!!"

School is very tiring!!


But she had so much fun that tonight after dinner she got her backpack and lunchbox back out and carried them all around for an hour, demanding to go back to school!!
