September





Back to school...
School supplies, routine, H1N1.
What a month!

No back to school pictures this year of the big kids. Tom was out of town for the big day. I know it broke his heart, Tom has never missed being with them on their first day back. Somehow Madeline became a Freshman at Little Chute High School, Clara is in her last year of Little Chute Elementary as a 5th grader, and Tommy is in 4th grade. I cannot believe that Madeline was younger than Tommy is now when I first met them!

Both Emma and Drew were down for about 2 weeks with the "flu". Drew's progressed to some Bronchitis/Croup mess that left him sounding like Darth Vader for about a month. Both kids were troopers, though. They played and smiled through it all, but I know Emma was ready to get back to her routine and see the Taylor's again.

The best part of September was Emma starting her music class at Heid Music. She loves the songs, the instruments, the teacher, and the new friends. I love watching the joy in her little face and body as she experiments with music. I know most parents like to think their children are gifted... but this little girl IS!

That's too bad the kids were sick. Doesn't that just have to be the hardest thing? Having one down sick is bad enough!!
