Time Flies

I can't believe summer is over. Where did it go? We walked over to the park across the street this evening after dinner, and I was so sad to see that the water fountain has been turned off for the season. Unless there's some event that prompts them to turn it on, we won't see it running until next May.

Some summer highlights:

I've already told everyone, but I figured I should at least make an official posting to say that Vincent will soon be a big brother. We're expecting another baby in early March of 2009.

We've had a few visitors this summer. David's parents were here back in August. Then, my sister was here the week after. Or was it the other way around? Then, for Labor Day weekend, my friend, Angela came to town. Lastly, next week we will be having my dad here for about 10 days to help with some home projects.

We spent most of our summer days at parks, either in the wading pool, in the fountain, or just on the playground. We planned to go camping one weekend, but it rained quite hard that whole weekend. Oh well. Instead, we went to Pt. Defiance Zoo, which was great! Well, other than the HUGE bump Vincent got on his head from tripping over his own feet.

David's little project for Vincent. A chalk board to cover up that window Vincent broke back a few months ago.

Looking ahead into the fall, what we have planned is another year of Mandarin school, the tots class at the community college, and most exciting of all, Vincent is starting his first year in preschool! No, it's not what you would think of when you hear preschool. It's actually a co-op preschool, and we will only be going one day a week. It's a tots class as well, just and hour and half each time, and I stay there with him the whole time. This preschool is only for 2 years, and there is a lot of parent involvement. Kind of weird thinking of Vincent going to school already, but it's more of an introduction...sort of a pre-preschool.

We are also looking forward to the Puyallup Fair, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, the harvest party at Oxbow Farm, and of course, Halloween!
