...and The Summer Comes to an End...

We had a great summer and boy was it busy! Weekly Symphony Children's Day concerts, 4 weeks of swim lessons, 5 weeks of gymnastics and hip hop (Sam slept through the last class~ bummer), multiple play dates, pool dates and endless movies (Harry Potter collection and Star Wars). Samantha has improved her artistic skills (see previous post), learned her letter recognition and also started writing her letters; she's great with birthday cards and names! She excited to become a big sister this Thanksgiving and has even learned to write her sister's name. Everyday she talks to and hugs Mama's tummy and learns new ways to care for baby... And she enjoys watching Mama's belly grow bigger and bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We attended Open House for her school last night and although her teacher mentioned that they will be learning their ABC recognition (which we let her know that Sam is already writing them), she said that by the end of the school year they will be doing some math and some kids will even learn to read! We are so excited to see how this school year goes and watch Samantha grow even more amazingly intelligent!.... But not before we visit Grandma Ria, Uncle Brian, Abigail and friends next week!
