Allie playing the drums and singing

 

Singing at church with Maddie and Dane!

This recording is from the practice.  I'm not sure why Allie had her fingers in her mouth.  You can hear her though!

All of the kids did a great job at the practice prior to the service.  However, when it came time to perform for the church, Allie made a show of her own.  It was comical and embarrassing, but she managed to get through it!

OK, fine.  Here is the silly Allie version:

Brookfield zoo before Welke baby!

On Colombus Day, we headed to the zoo with our Newton/Welke crew!

 Dane was nervous about riding an animal, so he went with the peacock bench!

 The kids were all about taking these pictures! 

 Not just for heads!

We had a great day!

Uncle Greg is famous!

The girls watched this music video at least 10 times!  Allie asked for it constantly!  Their little commentary cracks me up!

Birthday!

Thanks Ma and Pa for having us over for a fabulous feast!

Allie's first day at 2's on the Move! Sept. 12th

She did it!  It was a rough start and the night before she went, she told me that she was going to cry.  When Claire and I went to pick her up after class, she excitedly told us that she stopped crying.  She wore the same dress that Claire wore to her first day of 2's on the Move!

The class is 1.5 hours one day a week.  She cried a bit on week 2, but recovered quickly.  At the end of class, I peeked into the classroom and she was holding hands with another little girl.  She told me that she made a friend and that she had the best day.  On week 3, she didn't cry a bit!  Allie is growing up!

 Sisters looking for bugs after class!

First day at Grace Preschool-Sept. 10th

 Ice cream at Grammie and Papo's before the big school drop off!  It was a hot day!

 Cheese!
