August, Already? Really?

I have fallen off of the blogging wagon...well it may be more appropriate to say the graduate school, a full time job, 2 young children and a busy husband pushed me off. But here is my meager attempt to climb back on and try again!

School and the Art Of Communication
So how did we get to August already? I suppose the 105 degree heat index should clue me in to the fact that it is really here but as the yellow school buses rolled through our neighborhood this morning, I was still in shock. Not because this day means much to me at the moment, but I can't imagine that in one short year my little Hannah will start Kindergarten. Amazing huh? In the meantime Connor will soon begin his stint at the preschool that Hannah attended last year. I am hoping that being away from his sister for a few hours a day will encourage him to speak. When Hannah's around there just isn't a need for him to say anything and we all have become quite adept at understanding his grunt and point form of communication.

Hannah on the other hand is a proficient communicator and informed Jason and I the other day that she needs a phone. We of course replied "You have a phone" as we gave her and Connor our old cell phones. To which she replied "A real phone, duh!". Um Yeah, you're 4 who would you call? Hannah says "my friends from school, like Cody." Really? Really? Already? This just can't be!


Hannah the Baker
Hannah and her friends after a tour of the grocery store....she came home and informed me that now she knows ho w to bake and simply needs a good cook book and a little time!
