End of Summer

Hudson officially went back to school this past Tuesday!  Lets all do a happy dance (wink wink).  Seriously though, he LOVES going to preschool and playing with his friends.  It also happens to give this mama some one on wine time with Alexis.  It's a win win situation.

His first day of school was smooth sailing.  He was so excited the night before that he actually fell asleep at a decent hour!  I had a yummy breakfast waiting for him when he woke up (homemade whole wheat banana muffins, bacon, and fresh fruit).  He was ready to see who his new friends would be and to meet his teacher.  There were no tears.  It was awesome.

I will say that I have really enjoyed this summer with the kids.  It is so much easier than last year when Hud was too little to be independent and alexis was just a newborn baby.  This year, Hudson is much more "responsible" and able to follow directions.  He is so good at playing on his own.  Alexis is walking AND talking now, so communicating with her just keeps getting easier.  The kids can play together really well now (when they aren't fighting over some toy or attention).

We have really taken advantage of our zoo membership and have enjoyed some long days walking around looking at animals and having the best conversations.
