Swimming in October?

Olivia, William, and Jason swimming last night about 6:30-yes the water is a little cool, which is why I am taking the picture-and I hate to tell everyone, but I am not posting a picture of myself in a swimming suit on my blog EVER!

Okay, so technically October begins tomorrow, but last night we went swimming, so the weather here is definitely no where near any fall that I am used to. We made it through the summer and are really looking forward to the cooler months. I even took Olivia on a walk this morning at 6am. She doesn’t normally get up this early-I am not sure what woke her up. I just have to say that I miss my friend Elise, who I used to walk with in Omaha. We had such a good time on our walks and got in some good exercise with all the rolling hills of Nebraska. After going on a walk here I didn't even need to eat breakfast, because I was sure I ate a few of the gazillion bugs flying around outside. EEEWWW

Anyway, we had a nice summer. Will is growing and growing. He had his first taste of rice cereal, and seemed to really like it.

and here are a few recent pictures...

I would like to thank whatever member of our family taught Olivia about doing "silly pictures" Every time I get out the camera she wants me to take a "silly one" William got in on the action too in this one.

William likes the swing sometimes, most of the time he wants to be carried around. He is my cuddly baby-as opposed to Olivia who was not into cuddling.

First...I mean second day of preschool

Olivia started preschool on Tuesday, but it took me until Thursday to post this...incompetent blogger that I am. Anyway, she is going two days a week. She is sooo excited. This morning she woke up at 7am and had to wait and wait for preschool at 9. She has been telling everyone that her teacher is Miss Bedie. Before she had even been to preschool I was asking her cousins who their teachers were at school and Olivia piped up with "My teacher is Miss Bedie" which I had only told her a couple of times. I was surprised that she remembered! She seemed proud that she had a teacher like her big cousins Howie and Kali. Olivia's cousin, Brynn, is in her class so they are both very excited.

William had his four month appointment today. We are a little late since he is almost 5 months. (we were traveling) He is doing great! He is in the 42% for weight and the 57% for height. He got 4 shots which he was quite upset about. He is growing up so fast and is so much fun. I wish there was some kind of vaccination to keep them little babies longer!
