September...where did the time go?

It's the middle of September....How did this year go so fast already? More important, how did the last 5 years go so fast? My baby Keely will be turning 5 on Thursday and she is so excited! I cannot believe it's been 5 years since she was born. WOAH! She got to start preschool this fall and really, REALLY loves it. The first day she got back into the car after school and said, "mom, I LOVE school!" She has 10 kids in her class and looks forward to going all the time! The second week of school, she asked me if I could "drop her off at the corner and not walk her in". WHAT? She just wants to be independant. I couldn't love her more, but somehow I do everyday! She has also started swimming lessons at Foss again and is so good. She loves the water which is so great! Mali will be starting swimming in October and is already a fish! Lessons will be fun for her too!

Mali has also started ballet and tap class. She has only had one class, but REALLY loves it! On the way home after the first day she said, "Mom, I had so much fun at dance, I almost forgot I was there!" It took us about 15 minutes to walk to the car because she wanted to stop and show me all her dance moves she learned. She cracks me up everyday!

I can't get over how smart the girls are. Good thing they have Jeff's genius genes! Keely is still reading amazingly well. Can read pretty much anything, but long books don't keep her interest much. She mostly likes the level 1 and 2 books, which are for kids age 6-8. WHEW! I don't think Mali will be too far behind her as she loves books too! Both girls are learning Spanish as well. They know most of their colors in Spanish and can sing a song or two. We got a Spanish / English tape at the library and they want to listen to it all the time. It's so hard to get those darn songs out of your head!

I love you girls to bit and pieces! You are my life!
Love,
Mom
