Making up for lost time

Since I took a blogging hiatus this summer I figured I'd get moving now that fall is on the way. Although you wouldn't know it by today's 99 degree temperature and ridiculous humidity. It is still August for a few more hours, after all.

We debated putting the girls in an activity this fall. I don't want to be one of those moms who over-programs my kids, especially at this age. On the other hand, I want to expose them to as many different things as possible so they can figure out what they like and what they're good at. I also wanted to avoid signing them up for something just because other parents were doing the same. We talked about it a lot, trying to find a healthy balance, and decided to put them in gymnastics. I took gymnastics as a kid and thought the girls would really enjoy it. They were SO excited (mostly because they got to wear leotards) even though they didn't really know what to expect. I'll continue to post on their progress, but here are a few pics of them on their first day.



Anabelle was dressed & ready a good hour and a half before it was time to go, as you can tell by Adelyn still eating her breakfast in her pj's in the background.


Ready for the gym.


Waiting for Ms. Amy to spot them on the bar.
