The autumn beauty happening around us has given us many opportunities to talk to Micah, Mylie & Max about God's creation and His glory. Just the other day on the way to school Micah was telling me that God has to be the best artist. He said he loves our drive to school because there is so much nature to see and it reminds him that God is with us. We can learn so much from our sweet kids.
The fall temperatures have been fantastic. Everyday has been in the high 60's to low 70's. We have also had some rainy days in between. By now, we are all used to it raining randomly during the week. And I've got to say I really enjoy it. The only downside is, it makes me just want to sit inside and snuggle Max all day!
Micah and Mylie have gotten into the swing of their new school schedule. They recently participated in their school walk-a-thon, which they were very proud to be a part of. Micah started Mad Science at his school on Wednesdays. He is my little science nerd. He tells me that he already knows everything that they are learning. So funny! Mylie seems to be doing really great in Kindergarten. All of her class work comes home looking great! She loves writing her letters and coloring.
Back at home, Max and I have been doing mommy pre-school. I feel so blessed to be able to spend alone time talking and teaching him. Since he is the youngest, he has to compete for my attention. So now for the first time, he has my full undivided attention every morning. Since starting his pre-school workbooks and activities, I have to say I am amazed by my little guy. He is only 3 years old and already knows so much. He knows all his letters, numbers, shapes and colors. He loves matching things and sorting. Although he is such a smarty pants, his goofy side never ceases to make an appearance. For example, to give you a quick glance at Max's silly world, this morning we sat down to do a new puzzle. He sat quietly and figured out the puzzle all on his own. As soon as he was finished he wanted to do it again. Only this time I hear him say "Mommy, look. Is this right?" He had stuck a block inside the puzzle piece! Little Max is always looking to get a laugh! And he got one. :)
Sports! Micah is having a blast playing football. He has improved so much this year and is really getting into it. He loves having Matt as a coach and is proud to announce his greatest plays after every game. Mylie is a busy girl this fall doing cheer, ballet and soccer. When I ask her to pick a favorite, she says she can't decide because she loves them all. This is the first time Mylie has been so involved in outside activities and she has amazed us all! She is a determined little girl at all she does and gives 110%! She wants to be the best at everything...sounds like someone we all know...eeehhmmm...Matt. Soccer is the first sport she has played and WOW is she good! She caught onto the concept quickly and plays like a little firecracker. She is aggresive and fast and makes most of the goals for her team the "M&M's". I see an exciting future in the world of sports for this little princess. Now, not to let the fierceness decieve you, she is still our little girly girl! As soon as she is in the cheer gym or wearing her ballet shoes, she assumes her role. It has been such a joy to watch my little princess enjoy the girly girl things, just like her mommy. I can't wait to show you all the upcoming cheer competition pics and her Nutcracker Ballet pics this winter. And lastly, Might Max! Max is playing soccer at the Y too! He looks forward to his class every week. It has been a great class to get him introduced to soccer and also a fun way to make friends.
Hugs and kisses from Ohio!
