anyone still here??  good grief!  yes, we have been MIA over here for a while now.  it's been crazy busy around here {isn't that always my excuse?}, a 1st birthday party, school, new activities and now gearing up for the holidays!  i still haven't even taken dawson's twelve month pics...

rawley is finally adjusting to preschool and has been doing well.  he is adjusting to the routine and structure set for him and i can see a difference in him already.  he also has started speech therapy last week and i really think adding that to his days at preschool will get the jump start he needs in the his speaking abilities.  we have also added a soccer class to his schedule.  it's pretty much just to teach him fundamentals {there are no games played, just mostly getting him used to the ball and kicking it around}.  he didn't exactly love it.  he probably participated for 10 minutes and then he cried, screamed and made me hold him for the remainder of class.  it's an eight week program so hopefully in the next few weeks he will start to like it.  i know sissy is proud of her little booger :)

we also had dawson's 1st birthday party a couple weekends ago and it turned out perfect!  sadly, i only took a few detailed shots along with him eating his cake and that was IT.  poor second child and i feel like such a horrible mamma.  now i understand why people out there hire professionals to photograph first birthday parties.  i will have to hit up other people for some pictures.  

halloween was adorable and the boys were gilligan and the skipper.  ryan was the professor and i was mary anne.  rawley did his fair share of trick or treating with our friends and their older kids {who loved walking rawley around from house to house} and we also kicked off the evening at our neighbors house to go around the block with our friend dominick.  dawson ate a full cupcake, a crunch bar, whoppers, and three dum dums.  he is a crazy eater!!!  it was a blast!

now, off to take dawson's twelve month pics...
