Preston playing soccer and building a lego plane:
From Preston: Our weekends are FULL lately. The highlight of last weekend was a trip to Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. This was a "Mommy-adventure" day, which doesn't always pan out the way we hope, but this one actually worked out ok! We took a picnic lunch with us, and had a good time once we got there! We found a little picnic table to eat, there were some fun activities for kids inside the visitors center, and we went on a short walk with a naturalist who told us all about the native forests of Pennsylvania. I took some awesome pictures while we were on the walk.
We were there because Mommy wanted to check out the native plant nursery and buy a few things for our garden. I picked out a beautiful tree, and I check on it almost everyday to make sure that it is doing ok in our yard!
From Luke:
I had a good time at the picnic in the woods. I mostly got to sit in the stoller, but I also did some of the fun activities. My favorite part of the day was my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I started my sandwich during the picnic, and took tiny little bites. Mom and Dad and Preston were done with all of their lunches before I even made a small dent in my half-sandwich, so I got to take it with me in the stroller. I savored that sandwich. I took tiny bites and enjoyed every moment. Nearly an hour later I finally finished my sandwich, but boy was it good.

From Preston:
This weekend has been busy, too. Yesterday I had my first soccer practice. It was so fun! I was the fastest kid on the orange team, and I made sure that I always got to use the yellow ball. We did some fun drills and switched around to different soccer practice stations before it was time to head home. I really loved it, and I’m excited to go back next week!
From Luke:
While Preston and Daddy stayed at soccer, Mom and I went to Target to exchange some things. I asked for Daddy the whole time, and when we got back to soccer practice Mom realized that she had lost my shoe somewhere along the way. I got to stay with Daddy while she went back to Target to find my shoe (she did!), and then we headed off to Gavin’s Birthday Party. Preston and I both had an awesome time at Gavin’s Party. Mom and Dad LOVE how independent I am, and I don’t mind doing things all by myself. I even managed to insert myself into the big-kid activities at the party. They were all doing an obstacle course to find some buried treasure, and I figured out the pattern of activities and did them all myself. Nothing slows me down.
Preston’s favorite part of the party was digging for pirate treasure in the sandbox. He got a ton of gold coins and jewels. I just liked digging. I didn’t know what I was looking for.
From Mommy:
Luke has been adding more words everyday lately. We knew this time would finally come! Some of the new additions include: choo-choo train, drink, juice, kitty, baby, and mine. It’s very cute. I LOVE how independent he is. He still obviously needs help with some things, but he finds toys to play with and figures them out all by himself. He’s persistent and analytical. We recently discovered that he loves babies, too. That’s a bonus. He loves to visit the baby room at school and make them all laugh. And at the party on Saturday there was a little baby. She got sad when her Mommy put her in her car seat, but the second Luke heard her cry he ran over to see what the problem was. She cheered up when she saw a little person paying attention to her. It was a cute moment.
Today I finally finished the 4 curtains in the living room, a project that has been looming for months. They were SO difficult, mostly because of my poor fabric choice, and broke my machine, numerous needles, and were all around a huge pain. John finally incentivized me with the promise of Louboutins if I finished them before October. I hunkered down this morning and got it done. Louboutins are coming my way.
