September has come and gone. With all the Alm birthdays the month is over before we know it. September has been a busy month. Ben started preschool this month. He still goes to John and Galina's house but now they have hired a wonderful new teacher, Ms. Erin. Ben is loving school and learning so much already. They do letters of the week, yoga, sign language, arts and crafts and lot and lots of play! We are amazed daily at what his little brain is capable of learning.

We also wrapped up our summer at the cabin although we may still get there for one night next month. Our last weekend up there was beautiful and so relaxing.

Trevor took this past Monday off to stay home with us. We decided to take the kids out to the Arboretum. Ben loved the maze and all the forts made out of sticks. Olivia was just along for the ride and did great as always. She is such an easy baby!


Last weekend the whole family headed to Janna and Erik's wedding at Frontenac Golf Course. I went Friday to have some girl time before the big day. Trevor, Ben, Olivia and my parents joined us Saturday for the wedding and reception.

September is going out with a bang as we start our addition/remodel project. This could be a LONG six months but will all be worth it in the end, I hope. They started digging this week and boy do they work fast. After day 2 we have the block work in the garage for the new mud room/entry and they have started the block work in the massive hole in the back yard you see below that will at some point be our new Master suite. Ben is in 7th Heaven with all the dirt and "Big Diggers". First this morning he when he got out of bed he asked "where are the big diggers? I want to see them?"

Stay tuned for more on the addition... We are taking lots of pictures and will update the progress again soon.
