Now that I have finally decided to do a better job at updating the blog, here is a little brief catch-up...
Reagan just turned 4. We have started homeschooling, and do it only for a short period each day. Mainly because I haven't completely figured out how to teach both girls or how to keep Kennedy engaged in other activities while I work with Reagan. She absolutely loves Strawberry Shortcake, Princesses, Fairies, etc... She reads chapter books frequently, and loves the different fairy series (sports fairies, weather fairies...) She loves to sing along to Rick's music. He burned a couple CDs for driving to Boston, and Reagan requests them by name and even knows what number they are. She learned to swim this summer with floaties on, and is very proud of that accomplishment. She also likes to ride her bike and her scooter.
Kennedy is 2 years and 4 months. She adores her big sister and always wants to play together. They are absolutely the best of friends. Kennedy is much braver than Reagan and willingly tries new things. She was a little scared of swimming, but I finally taught her to swim with floaties on for short distances. She also learned to pedal her trike! She knows her ABCs by sight, her numbers 1-10 by sight. She loves to color, draw, cut, glue, and do anything crafty. That is basically the only way I can keep her entertained while Reagan and I work on schooling. She has the best imagination, and continues to astound me with her vocabulary. She has been speaking in complete sentences for a year now, but sounds like an adult now. Just last night I told her to find something on the bookshelf. Her response was, "Which bookshelf Mommy, the one on the left or the one on the right?" Apparently she picked up left and right from listening to Reagan and I.
Now here are a few pictures to catch us up...

It was gorgeous, and the kids never tired of playing in the sand.
I just love this picture.
Never tired of sweet deals. This purchase cost $73.

And last, but not least. A short clip of each girl swimming.
I really do enjoy fall, I just absolutely despise winter! Let's hope fall lasts for a long time.
