So looks like I went all summer without posting. We had a pretty busy summer. These are pictures of the girls' first day of school, and our new puppy, Winnie. Things are going well. The girls are growing so fast. Claire and Nora are doing swimming and gymnastics, and Elise starts soccer up again soon. We have been busy training our new puppy, texting her manners. 

We have really enjoyed spring here is Missouri. So many beautiful days. We have been so busy since my last post. The girls had a fun Easter egg just in our front yard. And we now have a new puppy named Lily. 

Claire at SDC proud of her new name necklace. 

Having fun at Mimi and Papa's house. 

Our new puppy, Lily. 

Decorating our Easter bunny cake with Nana. 

At the zoo this weekend with Aunt Debbie. 

Elise soaking wet and happy, after playing in the spray misters at the zoo. 

We figured we have lived in STL for almost a year, we should try Ted Drews frozen custard. It was yummy stuff. 

Well the girls have officially seen their first snow this winter, and have become pros at sledding. 

Jason and I took a one day trip to Washington DC. We got really lucky, because we were there the weekend before their big 20 something inch snow. 

Claire started indoor soccer this winter. 

Amos and Elise are best buds. 

He gets a lot of attention most mornings. 

I found Nora and Claire in my bed like this one afternoon. How sweet!

We had a great Thanksgivong and Christmas in our new home. It was really great being so close to family. 

I took Claire to a princess tea party. 

Thanksgiving. 

We finally put up a tree this year. It's been  3 years I think since we last put up the tree. 

Claire at her Christmas school concert. Her two best friends are beside her. 

I didn't take very many pics of the girls opening gifts. I tried to enjoy the chaos with my own eyes this year. But here a a few pics. 

Sister love. 

We are all getting used to the cold weather. I think all the extra coats, gloves, scarves, and caps are worse than the cold itself. 

Had a great time at the zoo one morning, and went on a hay ride with a bunch of our neighbors. 

Of course we went pumpkin picking. 

We all decided to dress up for Halloween this year. We became all the frozen characters and Elise was ironman. The girls really had a great time. 

Today we took the girls up in the arch. It was foggy but they still enjoyed it.
