A great night to be together.  Aunt Becca had us over for a Steeler’s party and a mini birthday party for Piper. It was really sweet and Piper loved every minute of it. What a great night!  Thanks again!

We went up to Oak Glen to apple pick this morning.  It was a nice cool day with a brilliant blue sky.  We picked Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Spartan apples.  There weren’t as many trees or apples to pick from this year so it was a little disappointing. After picking we had lunch at Los Rios and headed over to Snow Line for the apple cider donuts.  The donuts were our favorite part of the day!

Piper’s bedroom recently got a makeover.  We knew she was going to get homework this year so we got her a desk and cleaned out her old toys.  Over the summer she also inherited a bed frame from a friend.  We spent last weekend organizing everything including moving around the artwork.  It turned out great and Piper is really happy.  Soon we will have photos of Andrew’s room once we get some photos on the wall. The new desk and new hook for her backpack. Makes doing homework a snap. Piper made the cherry blossom picture and painted the Hello Kitty sitting on her desk. Piper made the flower above the letter I on the last day of school

We are sizzling out here.  Today our temps reached 106!  We went to the beach in hopes to cool off but it was even hot at the beach.  The water made everything better though. This heat wave is to continue for a few more days. Can’t wait for cooler weather.

Today was Andrew’s first day of school.  He was very quiet and shy as I dropped him off. It’s a new teacher and classroom this year which he needs to get used to. I think once he gets into routine he will enjoy it more.  There will be lots to learn!  He will attend Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
