Amazing month of August

Some days it felt like the long, hot days of summer would never end, and now that August is over it seems to have gone by quickly!

Jacob started pre-school at the beginning of the month at the Wee Wisdom School at the Unity Church.  He goes T/Th mornings and gets to experience all sorts of fun things like art, music, storytime, dress-up, outdoor playground, and making new friends.  This month they focused on learning about animals and the first three letters of the alphabet.  The teachers are so warm and caring, they always have nice things to say about Jacob, and we really love his new school!  Here are some pictures from his first day.




Jacob also celebrated his 2nd birthday this month and we had a little party at the house with the family.  He really understood that it was his birthday and it was special.  He was singing "Happy Birthday to Jacob" in the car on the way home from the store after we got him a special Elmo balloon and the ingredients to make his cake!  So cute!  He was very patient and waited for Daddy to get home with the BBQ before opening his presents -- and then he dumped the contents of the bags on the floor as fast as possible!  He is really into his tools (he insisted on sleeping with his hammer a few nights) and his toy chainsaw (wore the batteries out the first day) and his trucks.  I think the love for construction runs in the family!
