Daddy's little helpers





Labor Day weekend, we made Daddy labor!!! We have been wanting to finish/ organize the garage. We got a good start but still have work to do. The boys favorite part was climbing the ladders. They also both got a chance to put Daddys skill to the test!!!

Swimming

Sorry we are all looking into the sun
Ready Set SWIM
All tuckered out after a long swim!!!

We visited Grandma and Grandpa Rices neighborhood pool one warm Friday afternoon. The boys love the water and are wanting to swim without aid.

First Day of School






August 20th Benjamin started school at Centerville Preschool. He has the same teacher as last year, MrsDahl. He also receives speech and occupational therapy at school. He seems to be very comfortable there and doing very well. I still wish he could tell me that he had "fun at school" or not - someday. He always gets off the bus smiling and happy so I guess that is all I could ask for. Will loves to see the bus everyday and is always excited when brother gets home from school/

Chicago Air Show






The weekend before Benjamin started school (Aug 16 and 17), the boys and I braved the car once again and drove to visit Grandma and Grandpa Collins in Chicago. Daddy flew in Friday evening to join us as well. The weekend wore everyone out I think, but Saturday was every little boys dream. We rode a train, boats and saw lots of planes as it was the Air Show. We joined the thousands of people that were at the Navy Pier in near 90 degree weather to enjoy the afternoon. It was a fun afternoon!!!!
