Sam started his first day of fourth grade this year. He is in the Spanish immersion program and so he has two different teachers. He came home very excited about his new teachers. His English teacher is Mrs. Stevens and his Spanish Teacher is Sra. Alanso. She is from Spain and travels around to do the different Spanish immersion programs.

Sam had a fun and busy summer this year. He took three sessions of tennis and two sessions of golf. He was able to go golfing with his grandpa Doug. He took a mad science class with his cousin Ayden. He went on three fun trips, Colorado,Yellowstone and Lake Powell. He was in a parade with his grandma. He made it to Lagoon..the Zoo .. Dinosaur Park ..the Fair and had a season pass to Cherry Hill. In between all these events, he managed to have plenty of sleepovers at his grandparents, build rivers in the sandbox and catch tons of frogs. I'd say it was a great summer.

Clea has grown up so much over the summer. She has taken a few steps, crawls with tremendous speed and has about forty words in her vocabulary. Her new favorite word seems to be "out". She wants out of her crib, car seat, high chair, stroller or anything else that I can put her in to. After she escapes from whatever she was in, she crawls to the door and says "out". She even wants out of her clothes every time that she sees water, because she wants to get in and get wet. Her summer activities included swim lessons, many days at Cherry Hill, and her first trip to the Zoo. She also discovered that slides are fun and when she is not saying "out" she says "wee" because she wants to go down the slide. She has turned into quite the little toddler and is very happy to watch Sesame Street,talk about Elmo, and eat fish crackers! Crazy enough....she also is registered for preschool 2014.
