Preschool Homework

Well we were nervous at first about Cooper going to preschool, especially since it ended up being a few days after Gwen was born. I was only nervous for him to have to endure such BIG changes all at once. But he loved it from the first day. And continues to talk about it alot and ask almost everyday if its time to go to preschool. We are thankful he has made such an easy transition. And we are so proud of how he is becoming such a BIG boy.

I'm kinda amazed at the things they are teaching at preschool these days. Cooper came home the first week spelling his name. And learning he whole name. At this point he can actually write his name. It looks a little rough. But I mean seriously he is only 3 years old. That seems pretty crazy to me. He comes home every week with a few little worksheets of 'homework' to write the 'letter of the week' or work on various numbers. He loves doing his homework and him and Daddy have fun doing it together.

Gwen's First Bath

Yes Gwen is two months and just now getting a bath. HA! Just kidding. No but I realized that I hadn't written a post about this yet.

 Gwen's first bath went much smoother than Cooper's. She didn't really cry. She wasn't really sure what was going on, but she seemed to enjoy it. 

 Joe is kinda the expert at the early, tiny baby bath stage. I'll admit I'm not a fan of it. Kinda makes me nervous. So Joe is in charge of baths until she is a little bigger.. ha! I help but he does most of it. What a good daddy!

Eckerts - Pumpkin Time

Every October we take off a Friday and head down to Eckert's to pick out a pumpkin. Today was a beautiful day and we had a great time!! We pigged out on Fried Chicken at the little country restaurant and picked some apples and a pumpkin. And we brought home a whole apple pie and all kinds of yummy baked goods stuff.

An attempt at a family photo. I didn't realize Gwen's face was in the sun... ha!

And we tried again. Oh well its sorta .. OK.

My new favorite pic!

Grandma Boeckman always comes with us.
