August and new milestones

Evidently, two kids is just too much for me to keep up with the blog! The highlight of our August was a trip to Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at Glacier Canyon Lodge at the Wilderness Territory and really enjoyed it. We had a 2 bedroom condo and that is the way to go with 2 little ones! It was a very relaxing trip... Tyler loves the water and fell asleep twice in the lazy river. Emma still seems to prefer sandy beaches to pools, but by the end of our trip she was more comfortable and "swimming" with her noodle.
In other news...
Tyler has joined the crawling crowd. If I thought he was into everything before, he has proven just how wrong I was! He loves exploring and is already starting to try and pull himself up on things. The pulling up/crawling combo has resulted in a few bumps and bruises... hopefully the pediatrician will understand when we see her next week! He is also up to 4 teeth and really babbles. This morning I could have sworn he said "Da da" just as Dave walked through the kitchen.
Emma had her first day of preschool yesterday and seemed to like it. She was disappointed that she had to use her red tote bag provided by the school instead of her polka dot back pack, but I think she's okay with the idea now. What has Emma REALLY excited is the fact that she will start dance classes on Friday. She will be taking Pre-Ballet through our park district. We found her a leotard/skirt combo and preschooler dance shoes at Target last week... she would wear them every day if she could.
We are looking at a busy fall schedule... Dave continues to work too hard. I am still taking my yoga classes, but I have cut down to once a week now that my intro deals and coupons have expired. My DAR and church committee work will be resuming now that school in back in session. We have fun adventures at the zoo and pumpkin patch planned for the next few months as well as lots of birthday fun... hopefully I'll be back with an update soon.
