Look Who Started Rolling Over!

Heaven help us when we get to the mobile stages. :)

Sloan Family Zoo

My kids have created a zoo in our house. Much as in Good Night Gorilla, the animals seem to sneak their way into the zookeeper's bed at night. Fortunately for them, this particular animal liver doesn't seem to have a problem with that :)

New School

With our move this year out to a new city has come a change to move to a new school.  The two oldest kids were blessed to attend a wonderful school in Fort Worth, but when we moved, the drive to TLCC was prohibitive as a regular routine.  So, the kids have been out of a formalized school setting since the beginning of April and home with us full time.  While we love having them home, we also want them to have the benefit of the academic setting and social interactions that school offers, so this fall, we have enrolled them in a two day a week program at First Baptist Aledo.  For Robby, it is a preschool program, and for Juliet it is more of a play-centered environment.  Last week was their first full week of attendance, and they both really seem to love the school and are excited to go on school mornings.

The first pic is from when we took them to Meet the Teacher day a couple of weeks ago, and the second pic is from the actual first day of school.  The little guy will still be home with us full time this year, though based on his grin above, he seems okay with that :)

Happy 3 Months Lincoln!!

> Lincoln is getting so big already! My little man is three months old and has officially promoted upstairs to share a room with his big brother. He's also been going to the church nursery for about a month now and been totally spoiled by the workers in there. :).
>
> He's not quite rolling over yet, but he's working hard on it and will be mastering it very soon I think.
>
> He's also my first baby who has no interest in this thumb. Why suck a thumb when the whole fist is available for gnawing??
>
> He is a complete master at smiling, cooing, and laughing, pretty much enrapturing everyone who gets around him for any time at all. I'm definitely extremely smitten with the guy :)

Happy 4th Birthday Robby!!

I cannot believe that my big boy turned four years old last week. He has grown so much this year, gaining confidence and blossoming into such a little man. I could not be prouder of him!

Below are some pics of him at the Rangers game this week with Pahpah and tah. What a great present!! He loved it :)

Brotherly Love, Sisterly Love

Lincoln is so lucky to be doted on by two such great older siblings :)

Crazy August

This month has been such a crazy one at the Sloan house. We spent the first week at a lake house with the whole Sloan clan where Bryan's big sister got married!! It was such a wonderful and joyous week. There were 8 kids in the house. Robby was the oldest and Lincoln the youngest. They all loved playing together.

Then, we got home and Bryan and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary, which is kind of hard to believe.

Next up will be Robby's 4th birthday!!!!

In the meantime, here are a few pics of the kids from this month. :)
