We have to share some big news right off, that most of you are probably very well aware of. We're having a baby!! I'm due April 2nd and all five of us are super excited! Sophie is ready to give any and everything of hers that is too small, to the baby and asks daily if she will be able to hold the baby by herself. She announced to Trevor at last weekend's soccer game (quite loudly I might add), "Daddy, we're going to have a baby soon, but the baby isn't going to pop out of Mommy's belly, it's just going to pop out of her 'gina." Oh boy. =)
Other than that, September had all the rush, excitement and time constraints that come with school starting. Summer already feels so far away and the girls are ready for snow so they can ski. The girls both really like their teachers and their classes and are doing great! They are both playing soccer. Corinne really enjoys it and practices at home. Ayla enjoys soccer as well, but doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about it.
Ayla is really excited about joining Girl Scouts this year! She is well on her way to earning a free week at camp by selling nuts, candy and magazines! (Let me know if you're interested- it can be done online!) She has a very active group and is looking forward to spending a night in Boston at the Museum of Science, camping, and a bunch of other fun activities.
Corinne started band at school and is practicing the clarinet every day. She's sounding pretty good so far and it's nice that she practices all on her own with out reminders. Now that Ayla is in 3rd grade she is able to be in Chorus, so we look forward to her concerts.
Sophie has learned all the seasons and knows the correct order of them as well. She's learning how to count and write numbers. She talks non-stop whether someone is listening or not. =)
Make it a great October!!

August Update
Whew! The summer flew by! I can't believe it's September and we're back in school!
Corinne started the month with basketball camp at Bowdoin College and had a great time. Her "report card" at the end commended her on her great attitude and increased skill level.
Ayla went to art camp in Yarmouth and impressed us at her art show with her mobile, paintings, and fairy houses. She made a bird nest out of seaweed, complete with handmade bird eggs. She loved being able to swim, as the camp was on an island in Yarmouth.
Sophie didn't attend any camps, but she left the steps and started swimming in the pool! She is now comfortable swimming with her life jacket or in her inflatable donkey ring. Her personality is more and more animated every day!
Grandma Connie came for a visit in mid-August and the girls had an absolute blast with her! They had water balloon fights (which Trevor and I were victims of), swam in the pool, ate gelato in the park, played at the beach and just acted silly together. We miss her already!
We went camping in Kennebunk at the beginning of July for a family reunion. Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Amanda, Ava and Owen stayed with us at the campground and we all had a great time staying up late and sleeping in the tent.
Ayla had several girls over to swim, eat cake and ice cream and play yard games for her birthday party. All of the girls had lots of fun and Ayla was a gracious hostess!
We went camping Labor Day weekend at Cupsuptic Lake with three other families. The kids had a blast running around the campground, swimming, and eating smores. We went on a great hike up Bald Mountain, which had amazing views from a tower at the top.
The school year is off to a great start and both the girls really enjoy their teachers. I look forward to updating you in another month!
