With the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having Brooke’s been getting ready for it by wearing jeans and sweaters lately. It’s a welcomed change from the heat of the summer.

Brooke Helps Dad
Brooke got a new table and chairs for her room this past weekend and she was a big help to Dad in putting it together.
Brooke’s First Day of Preschool
Today Brooke went to her first day of preschool which she will attend once a week for 3.5 hours every Tuesday morning. We got her all dressed and ready for school with her name tag so all the other children would know who she is. She was super excited and when we got to the classroom she ran right in, grabbed two bouncy balls, and started playing. Laura and I tentatively waved goodbye from the door but she was already having a blast. When we picked her up the teacher said she did great, but that she wanted to play outside the whole time and got upset when she had to come inside. I suppose we have been spoiling her with nonstop playground time at the park.
Norfolk Botanical Gardens Bike Night
With the weather getting nicer, we finally got to use our new bike rack tonight. We went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and enjoyed their bike night, where they allow biker riders to ride around the gardens in the evening. We even packed a picnic for us all to enjoy.
Labor Day
We made the most out of Labor Day this year. We started off the day with a family run to a nearby park, where Brooke and I stayed and played while Laura ran a few more miles as she continues to train for the Marine Corps Marathon for this coming October in Washington DC. Then after Brooke’s nap we all went to the beach to enjoy one of the most beautiful days we’ve had there in a while, splashing in the waves, relaxing on the sand and enjoying each others company. Afterwards, we went to Dairy Queen and had ice cream, even Brooke got her own cone. For dinner we grilled burgers and had some tasty sides. Then to finish out the day we took a family bike ride around our neighborhood. It was quite the fun-filled day.
