Last Days of Summer...August!

The hot days of August really put a damper on our outdoor adventures, but we managed to have fun anyway! Clayton started his first official soccer team soccer practices. OMG! He was so excited and Ryan and I could hardly sleep the night before. Clay really enjoys soccer and is so focused. His first game is right after school starts in September. We can't wait! Chloe transitioned to a new dance class this month. It is a jazz and ballet combo class. The caliber of instruction is leagues more intense than her previous class. I honestly half expected her to walk out in tears, but sweet Chloe caught right on. From learning to do the splitz, to various dance combinations, and standing leg lifts, Chloe is incredibly focused and determined. She dances all throughout the house, validating our decision to add a second class for her in September even more. Easton continues to excel at speech. We are so proud of how far he has come. I've lost count of the words he has. He has several 2-3 word sentences and is getting increasingly confident with saying words on his own without prompting. I am so grateful we intervened early and even more grateful for little E's progress. Ryan and I celebrated our 9th anniversary (wow, we are getting old!) on August 20th. He surprised me with an overnight getaway at the HB Hyatt which is where we stayed for our wedding night. A nice boardwalk walk to dinner and drinks at Duke's, drinks at a hip and happening bar, sleeping in, and quiet time at the pool the following day was a well-deserved treat for us!

Here's some pictures from our fun!
