Brigham's first day of Joy School (September 2nd)! We have 5 kids this year: Emberlyn, Jessica, Anthony, and Karter are doing Joy School with us.  We are teaching in 2 week blocks and we have assigned numbers, letters, words, shapes, and patterns for each week.  The teacher is responsible for creating the curriculum.  I teach this week.  We will see how it goes.....ha ha ha

Our new tradition of having the First Day of School Cookie Cake!  It turned out great and the kiddos were super excited.  I think this will be a great tradition!

Cora-Bleu swimming.  She really enjoyed it and kicked her legs like crazy.  Mark was brave and let her go so she could "swim" on her own.  It was fun to watch her and she really liked it!

August 29th Mark took the day off work and we went to the Greensboro Science Center.  It is a great center and the kids really loved it.  We were there for 5 hours!  I was definitely ready to go by that point. ha  Brigham can't wait to go back. 

This is the frog that lived in our bathroom for a week.  Mark couldn't find him the day I first saw him and we thought he must have gone back down in the toilet and died or something.  Well we were wrong.  He looks a lot smaller than that first time.  Maybe he lost weight or maybe my imagination got the best of me. I think he lost weight and was starving to death.

Squishy Baff!  These guys love this stuff.

If it isn't her 2 middle fingers then it is her toes in her mouth.  Aubree and Brigham were never really feet suckers.  This girl loves her toes!
