My oldest Dakota will be starting to kindergarten in just 3 short weeks. Where have the last 5 1/2 years gone to? They have flown by just as my summer has too. I have not posted a blog in months much to my dismay but my hopes are to start blogging more once things calm down from the busy days of summer.
Dakota is not to thrilled about going to school. He would rather home school but for now that is not possible but I will not rule that out all together for our future. His GI Joe book back has been purchased (thanks to his Mimi McGee) and the school supplies just need his name written on them. We are trying to do a few more fun things with the last remaining weeks of summer. A few cute summer photos of my sweet little boy enjoying his last summer before I have to let him go into a world of influence and children I don't know. I will admit it does worry me at times that he will soon be surrounded by so many outside influences but at the same time I know God will be with him everyday. Thank God for prayer and the trust I do have in Him. His first day of school will still not be an easy one. =( I am very excited for him to make some new friends and to have the chance to learn so many new things. I think he will thrive in school and enjoy the learning process in so many new subjects. =)
*Dakota LOVES animals! We've had several pets this summer that he has found in the great outdoors but that will be a story for another blog. The cute baby duck was at a widelife place we visited in amish country. I can't wait to have a homestead full of animals one day and see how he thrives with all of the farm animals. Another story for another blog as well. =)
Many of you know I LOVE photography. I decided to take some photos of the kids going down the Slip-N-Slide and I captured this incredible photo of Emma. I wanted to post it so I will always have a memory of the awesome picture. =) A definite YES moment and thrill as a photographer!! =)
My adorable little ballerina took her first ballet classes over the summer. She just loved the lessons. She will be continuing in the fall and I'm already looking forward to her recital in the spring. I've been waiting for the day that my little girl could take dance lessons and I enjoyed watching all she learned during the parents viewing the last lesson. She remembered today as I was posting the ballet pictures that she was doing a demi plie (sp?) in the photo. I'm amazed by how much she learned in just 6 weeks. =)
Emma enjoyed our visit to Amish country and holding the baby ducks. =)
Emma had a lot of fun playing with her cousin Millie during there Ohio visit in June. They were thrilled that they both had Ariel nightgowns. They had lots of fun playing dress-up together, going on a hike, and making there own pizzas. =)
Emma loves her puppies! She does a good job in getting them there dog food. She loves to hold them and pet them. =)
