Hi Girls,

Thank you to Heather for setting this up for us-a great idea, and I hope everyone will start posting!

We are doing great here. Lily is 3 1/2 and Jackson turned 2 in July. We are starting to look at schools (preschool) for Lily but she won't be starting until next fall. I am not ready to send her yet! Last week we took Lily to the American Girl store in Chicago as an early birthday gift and she got to pick out a doll (see attached photo). She had such a great time there and loves her new doll (she named her little Lily!). Jackson has been my sweet, lovable little guy until just recently. He is starting to tease his sister and throw little tantrums. I am hoping this is just a short phase! I am enjoying staying home w/the kids. We are involved in MOPS at church and I am part of a bible study w/a group of friends. Ryan's window cleaning business is going great (he is going on his 5th year of it) and he thoroughly enjoys it, and it is great because we can take long weekends whenever we want to spend some extra time at the lake.

I hope you all are well and I can't wait to hear what you've all been up to, so start posting ladies....and don't forget to send pictures of those little ones:)

Tina
