How is it already September?!? We had a wonderful summer filled with lots of laughter and running around, trying to enjoy this gorgeous season! During the week Kate spent time with Grandma Mary and our dear friend Tandi, and evenings we spent much time walking on Minnehaha Parkway, skipping rocks in the creek or playing in the backyard. This week we start a new routine, Grandma will still be with us two days, but the other days brings a new adventure... Kate starts at an intergenerational daycare. She'll get to share her music class and lunches with the adult daycare. Looking forward to learning lots with all of the new kids.
Kate continues to grow into such an amazing little girl. She keeps us laughing with all her crazy little toddler antics. Lots of walking with her baby stroller and collecting rocks everywhere we go. We're hoping she'll grow up to be a cardiologist... she loves her doctor kit and always wants to listen to your heart (pronounced 'hot').
Music is a big thing for Kate... she's continually dancing and singing... in the car, in the tub. Her favorite song sends her right into her dance groove... check it out!!
