Hello, Second Grade!

Our last 'summer' weekend.

History Guru Dad took the girls to Toltec Mounds (followed by a stop at Charlotte's in Keo) on Friday!

Saturday we all saw the Dinosaur exhibit at Clinton Library!

And walked part of the river park!

And Caroline and NeNe hit the new Tesla exhibit at the Museum of Discovery!

Today Cate moved from her trike to a bike with training wheels and rode all the way around Lakewood Lake! 

Our last weekend before school starts again was a success! Bring on 2nd grade  and PreK!

Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Hiking at Petit Jean

A few days late (ok, a week late) but since the blog serves as a virtual baby book then it's better late than never to write a few things in honor of our Cater Bug's fourth birthday. This was the first year she had a birthday party and when we asked her where she wanted to have it she didn't hesitate on specifying the "bowling alley in the bowling room". Of course she was too busy opening presents to bowl. 

What four year old Cate is like:

- Very dependent on her big sister

- She likes to speak loudly and with force

- Patience isn't her thing, but persistence is

- She is very loving and cuddly

- She laughs a lot, very easily

- She loves to wear her cowgirl boots 

- She could eat a hamburger 3 meals a day, 7 days a week (and she will ask her dad to make it)

- She is a great sleeper, and loves to have all her 'lovies' in the bed, but she also yells and talks in her sleep! 

Cate is a true joy! What a fun four years it has been with her! 

P.S. The blog got a make-over! 

Cater Bug is four! Happy birthday to our sweet girl!
