Back to School!

Summer was over before we knew it. I think this was the best summer for you both yet, with some very cool camps, hikes, family trips and adventures.
You both seemed excited to start another year although there has not been a first day of school that has gone by where I have not cried.
So far, so good with the school year.
Brady, you love your teacher (Miss Snowden) more than you have ever loved any other ever before. She is interesting and funny and makes learning enjoyable. I haven't heard you talk about school like this ever before. I think school is going to be a great experience for you this year. Although you are testing your boundaries with a few incidents in the classroom that have proven to be learning experiences for all of us (chromebooks and Snowden store tickets!!)

And Lylah, you have started off in your class as such a leader.  Miss Bartlett says you are a joy to have in class...so smart and good and leading by example. I am very proud of both of you!

It's been a few months since I have written, so I will catch you both up in this one post.
Lylah, you had an amazing dance recital at the end of summer. you looked beautiful and did such a great job during both of your dances.
And Brady, you tried out for the competitive soccer team this year and you made the Blue Rush team. What a stud!!! You have grown and progressed so much at soccer and you practice so hard, even on your own time.
You have started running with me on Sundays. We started at 2 miles and today was our longest run yet, finishing at 4.2 miles. It's been so much fun to have this time with you.
Lylah, you and I have had so much fun shopping for fall. you have quite the fashion sense now and you are a great buddy to shop with. You have also become quite the little soccer player, excelling at offense more now than ever.
We had a few firsts this past month. While dad was on a hike one Friday, we ventured out to the US Women's National Soccer game and had a blast (although dinner took forever. We made the best of it!).
And then we went to our first CU football game. What an experience. We decided college games are super fun, the seats from Children's Hospital were THE BEST and the CU campus was pretty darn cool.
Brady started playing the trumpet in the school band and Lylah started a cheer/pom class which is a whole new experience.
So fun to watch you both explore new things.
I can't wait for what fall has in store for us.
Love you both so much!
