Big Girl Best & Best Friends

A picture of Chloe's new bed--we are still amazed at how high it sits off the ground, but thankful for the new storage room under the bed, since it takes up half of Chloe's room now! We had Chloe and Drew's best friends over last weekend, and everyone had a great time--in fact, the only crying of the night was Chloe when their parents came to pick them up! There is something truly special about best friends at this age!

Chloe: Soccer Superstar

Yes, yes, believe it or not....another soccer mom actually looked at me during one practice this season and said, "Wow, she is our superstar!" Now, to be fair, Chloe tends to go all-out during practice when there is no threat of physical contact, but she still shys away from the ball during the game. And she would still rather sit on the sidelines making friends, but that's OK too! (Note the large "egg" on Drew's head--courtesy of his failed attempt to jump UP the curb in the driveway!)

Trip to the Zoo

On a rare cool morning this month, we took a trip to the zoo with the kids and Mama and Papa. Chloe of course loved showing off on the rhino, but Drew was a little bit unsure....I guess he thought that the rhino was going to start moving!
