She's attending Community Presbyterian Church 5 days a week from 8:30-11:45am. We were sad to say goodbye to Christ United Methodist Preschool, which had been a great little school for us the past two years, but the schedule at CPPK was going to work out better for the family in the long run. (i.e. Mama keeps her sanity because Coco can still squeeze in a nap before elementary school pick-up!)<br />
<br />
We've always heard great things about CPPK, and so far it's lived up to it's reputation. Brielle has been in a great mood after school every day and her teacher seems really sweet. This past Friday was Show and Tell for the Letter A. Brielle decided to bring apples. On her own, she thought it would be a good idea to give them to Ms. Papke and Ms. Stanford for a gift - she must have somehow known apples are a teacher thing!<br />
<br />
Other highlights of school so far seem to be snack time, puzzles, new friends, and the class guinea pig, Charlie. CPPK wears uniforms...here's a peak at our cute little school girl on her first day of class!<br />

This blog has been such a great way to journal our family adventures, that I just can't let it go! Time will tell whether I catch up from the missing years or just go on from here, but for now I'm posting about this past week - it was a big one! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiZjou_irROFuSXai-cFppePFlB54b3TcUwV7uys4kZfxOLOvXaoiD1YBmvkWrRjZnWUm9gbnXy1IO-Nntw34sXSyO-zOgwhdd7Tw0fBGCzpaVLTgTiHMiDxecivfVUsuFasYug/s1600/P1120254.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiZjou_irROFuSXai-cFppePFlB54b3TcUwV7uys4kZfxOLOvXaoiD1YBmvkWrRjZnWUm9gbnXy1IO-Nntw34sXSyO-zOgwhdd7Tw0fBGCzpaVLTgTiHMiDxecivfVUsuFasYug/s400/P1120254.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
Our big news this week...Josh started kindergarten! After much prayer and conversation, we decided to enroll him at Seaside Community Charter School. This school just opened it's doors in Jacksonville Beach, and Josh has the opportunity to be part of the first graduating class to complete all of elementary school there. It's loosely based on Waldorf educational principles and will involve (we hope) a lot of hands-on learning.<br />
<br />
Once Josh heard that this school took weekly trips to the beach, he was sold. His biggest concerns about heading to school had to do with being gone
all day (I don't like that part either!) and getting lost. He was
worried he might lose his teacher during recess and not find his
classroom or that they'd give him to the wrong mommy at the end of the
day! I assured him there was no way I was letting that happen!<br />
<br />

As the ultimate extrovert, he's been counting down the days until he got to go to kindergarten and woke up Monday morning chanting, "I get to go to school today! I get to go to school today!" Once we got to the school, he had just the right amount of hesitation...excited and happy, but wanting to hold my hand until he found his class. He bravely walked in line with his new teacher, Miss Hohman, and came home all smiles. His first words when he got home were, "I had fun at kindergarten today." Music to my ears! He's been eager to go back each day, but is TIRED! It's a little emotional around our house from 3-8pm! I'm sure it will even out a little bit as we all adjust to our new schedule...I just hope it doesn't take too long!<br />

slept through the whole event!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What an experience!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Corinne

four this fall and started going to preschool twice a week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is doing great in school and loves
all things BOY!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right now he is
really into fighting bad guys, swinging, and riding his big boy bicycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joshua ADORES Corinne and is the king
of giving her zerberts (raspberries).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Brielle is almost three and likes having “school at her green house”
with Mommy as her teacher!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I
still can’t believe she bought into it!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She loves letters, dancing, being upside down, and twirly dresses!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, she can also hang with Joshy in
the muddy banana tree fort!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They have started playing pretend games together and having their own

the ER, and I’m beyond busy at home!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the coming year, we are hoping to get into a regular exercise
routine, get some special time away together, and continue in the discipleship
program at our church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
overwhelmed by God’s goodness in our lives!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wish you all the best for 2012 and much love, joy, and
peace in Jesus this Christmas.</span></div>

He woke up the day after he turned three asking how long it was until his birthday! Despite his anxiousness, the year has still flown by. It's so hard to believe he's 4-years-old already.<br />
<br />
He has recently moved on from "why?" to "when?" as his favorite question - When can I go ride my bike? When can I play with Ezekiel? When can I drive a car?...I was fun to finally be able to tell him that "today" was the answer to "when" it would be his birthday.<br />

What to say to summarize this past year in Josh's life...as far as big events go, he became a big brother for a second time and started school. Josh continues to be a chatterbox, LOVES the beach, is very curious, likes to tell jokes, loves to swing, and is NOT a homebody. Joshua's brain and mouth work quickly, sometimes faster than I can keep up with...he can talk circles around me and Dan. All in all, Josh is a great little boy and we are so blessed to have him in our family!</div>Dan&Vanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11059290620849711098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12431916.post-62034981489865494032012-06-13T13:51:00.001-05:002012-06-13T13:54:47.638-05:00Studly Stached SurferNovember was quite a month for Daniel - not only did he participate in Movember and grow a mustache all month (much to my chagrin)...<br />

...he also achieved a long time goal - he got on THE SURF REPORT! There's a few websites that give daily reports on what the surf conditions are like, including pictures of the local surf hotspots, so that surfers can see the actual waves before deciding whether to head out. Daniel checks the site (or calls the telephone surf report) daily (if not more)...even on days he knows it's impossible for him to surf (some form of self torture, I think). He also usually checks the report afterwards to check and see if he MADE the surf report, and after years of looking, he did - multiple times in November...pretty fun pics of my man! (In other surfing news, Daniel also purchased a short board this fall and surprised himself by actually being able to stand up on it. Apparently "old guys" can't really learn to short board and should just stick to long boarding - but, they didn't know his level of studly-ness, I guess!)<br />

We took our second mini-vacay there with my parents in November.<br />
<br />
We stayed at the Nickelodeon hotel...Josh and Brielle loved it because they had their own room, with bunk beds, their own TV including (most importantly) a remote, and they had access non-stop Nick Jr.! <br />

We visited Downtown Disney and ate at the T. Rex Cafe, dug some dino bones, looked at the cool Lego sculptures, and took a free pontoon ride around the lake. The kids think that Mickey Mouse lives at Downtown Disney (FREE
admission!!!) and we're gonna keep it that way as long as possible! <br />

We also took Joshua and Brielle to their first character breakfast. It was Nickelodeon characters, which they aren't too familiar with, but they surprised us by REALLY getting into it. It was so fun to see them nuzzle up to all the characters and get so excited to go and say, "Hi."!<br />

The hotel also had a cool pool with a beach-style entry and fun water slides. The weather was a little chilly, but we still braved the pool for some fun splashing around.<br />

This was the kids' first time dressing up or trick or treating and they thought "Candy Day", as we called it, was a pretty good deal! Daniel had the idea of dressing them up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 (extra appropriate since they run around like Energizer Bunnies making messes all day), and they were super cute!<br />

Dad and Dan picked Josh up from school with the boat in tow (not something you see everyday, but probably not the first boat to pull through the preschool pick up line)! They headed out on the intracoastal and came back with a huge flounder. Joshua was pretty proud!<br />

She may not be getting as much verbage or photos, but hopefully she's getting just as much love! I know we're sure enjoying having her in our family and each family member has their special way of interacting with and loving on her!<br />
<br />
It's hard to even remember back to what Corinne was like during months two, three, and four. I've said she's more emotional than the first two - while she's quick to smile, she's also quick to cry. She's an early riser - up before seven every day. She's just sweet - so sweet with her chubby, chubby, chubby legs. She's ticklish, and right now tickling is pretty much the only way to make her laugh. She started sleeping through the night right on track - about 8 hours at 8 weeks, and 12 hours at 12 weeks! (Thank you, Babywise!) She likes the jump-a-roo, watching her siblings go crazy all around her, belly sleeping, and the doggy teether/stuffed animal toy. Sucking her thumb and twirling her hair are her self-soothing techniques and signs she's sleepy. All in all, she's doing great, meeting her developmental milestones and bringing much joy!<br />

<ul><li> swinging on his new swingset in the backyard</li>
<li>giving Corinne zerberts...actually Corinne in general</li>
<li>bike riding on his birthday bike and </li>
<li>chocolate ANYTHING </li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We still fondly remember when we finally fulfilled Josh's request for a tricycle.

He'll be attending Christ United Methodist Preschool on Thursday and Friday mornings. I think it's going to be a really good thing. It will give our social boy the chance to get out of the house without having to sacrifice Corinne's nap, and also frees me up to run errands with only two kids (three just seems too overwhelming for grocery shopping or major Target runs).<br />
<br />
We didn't want to start talking up school too early because he tends to get VERY excited about upcoming events and it disrupts his sleep as well as him not having a concept of time and expecting the upcoming event to happen immediately. We introduced the topic gradually, but started talking more details the past few weeks. He was very excited to get to go to school. Brielle, of course, expected that she would be starting school as well. Both woke up every morning last week talking about whether they would be going to school that day. We told Brielle she would go to school at her house and that mommy would be her teacher and thankfully, she bought it! We made a paper chain for Josh to count down the "dark naps" until school started, and I got to take him on a special date to buy some school shoes and a lunch box and treat him to a McDonald's ice cream cone, too. It was so sweet how excited he was to be going out with mommy by himself. <br />
<br />
Finally, the first day of school arrived! We started the morning with chocolate chip pancakes and the whole family got to go get him settled into his classroom.<br />

</tbody></table>For school, Brielle colored a picture, did a lacing card, helped me make chocolate chip cookies, and ate her packed lunch. After that she was done with school and ready to play, but she didn't quite know what to do without Joshua...I'm sure she'll get the hang of it, but she just kind of wandered around trying to figure out what to do without her best buddy around to take the lead!<br />
<br />
Despite the great drop-off, I still had butterflies in my stomach all morning wondering how my little man was holding up. He was all smiles when we went to pick him up and Miss Lindsey said, "He had a great first day today. He was outstanding and fit right in!" What a great report! When I put Josh down for his nap he said, "Mom, I'm glad I went to school today because I liked that school." Friday morning went off without a hitch, too. So, now were are officially parents of a preschooler! <br />

This was a big decision since our last vacation with kids was 3 years ago, which not coincidentally, was also the last time we had driven further than the required 3 hours to get to Gigi's house. Our first "family" vacation had left quite a mark (scar?) on us, but we were finally ready to try it again...this time with two more kids in tow! But, we had called in reinforcements as well. Daniel's sister, Janelle, came along with us to help with the kids while Daniel was in class. She is always such a pleasure to have around and having that extra set of hands and eyes made all the difference in being able to sightsee and enjoy it. Huge thanks to Janelle for ALLLL she did that week! <br />
<br />
Daniel's family was headed on vacation the same day, so we were able to meet up in Atlanta at their family friend's house and pick Janelle up there. They have grandchildren about the same age as our kids, and their house has quite the set-up for preschoolers! Toys galore, a beautiful swimming pool, and a sleeping loft where you are allowed to jump on the beds - at least that's what their grandkids told us! We had a good time catching up with them, and seeing the rest of the fam. Josh bonded immediately with one of their grandsons and had a big time. It's so sweet how kids can become best friends so fast! As a bonus, I also got to meet Daniel's Uncle Ivan for the first time!<br />
<br />
We left Atlanta after supper Weds. evening and drove the final two hours to Chattanooga. The kids were really good travelers. Corinne got tired of her car seat, but hung in there pretty well. I don't know how we traveled before you could watch movies in the car...they are such a sanity saver for our family!<br />
<br />
We stayed at Homewood Suites and that was perfect for us. We had hot breakfast every morning and a two room suite, so the kids could go to bed early and the adults could stay up later. The first day we checked out Coolidge Park in downtown Chattanooga (which seems like a really cool town). The kids had fun running in the open field, playing in the splash fountain, and riding the carousel. Brielle still chooses not to ride, but at least she doesn't burst into tears of fear while watching Joshua ride. <br />

We ate hot dogs for lunch at this funky, local place called <a href="http://www.eatatgooddog.com/">Good Dog</a>. (I got a Chicago Style dog - it was no Portillos but still good.) And, then we had hot dogs for dinner as well at the hotel (another bonus of Homewood Suites is free dinner on weeknights)...the kids weren't complaining! Daniel got out of class around 5pm and could join us for dinner and an evening swim in the pool. We treated ourselves to a movie in the room that evening after the kids were in bed.<br />
<br />
Friday morning Janelle and I took the kids to check out the <a href="http://www.cdmfun.org/">Creative Discovery Museum</a>. It took us a while to find the stuff that was most interesting for young children, but once we did the kids were enthralled. They also had a special Bob the Builder exhibit on display.<br />

</tbody></table>Daniel finished up his class that afternoon and passed his exam. We went to the <a href="http://terminalbrewhouse.com/">Terminal Brewhouse</a> for dinner. The food was yummy and the homemade root beer was delicious. Saturday morning we rode <a href="http://ridetheincline.com/">The Incline</a> railway up to the top of Lookout Mountain. It's a one mile ride at 73% grade. STEEP!<br />

Since it was an outdoor wedding and had been raining for the past two weeks in Minnesota, Mark and Renee had been carefully watching the forecast. My favorite quote of the week was Mark saying, "Saturday's forecast, 10% chance of rain...100% chance of getting married!". Both were glowing and grinning all week - we were so happy for them! <br />
<br />
Dan and I kept low expectations for the trip. We expected it to be pretty stressful and exhausting - traveling with a 7 week old, 2 year old, and 3 year old as well as all of us being in the bridal party, and we were staying at my parents house...A.K.A. - wedding details central! But, we were pleasantly surprised. We were definitely BUSY, but were able to enjoy some time together just the two of us (Thanks, Mom for excellent babysitting), the kids were great travelers, and Corinne started sleeping 8 hours at night while we were there (She's a champ!).<br />

</tbody></table>The wedding festivities were kicked off by going <a href="http://www.pedalpub.com/twincities/index.htm">Pedal Pubbing</a> with the bridal party. A Pedal Pub is a bicycle built to hold 16 people that you can rent and tour around the Twin Cities. Their slogan is, "It's <b>SLOW </b>fun!" It was a super fun way to get to know the rest of the wedding party. <br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The wedding was held in a <a href="http://blackbearcrossings.com/wedding_gallery.html">pavillion on a lake</a> at Como Park in St. Paul. Very beautiful setting. Josh was a ringbearer, and Brielle was a flower girl. I was a bridesmaid, and can't help but mention that the Carcas was a "brides-man" which he handled with impressive poise and confidence! I went down the aisle just before the kids were supposed to come down. Dan stayed at the back to send them down at the right time, and they were supposed to "walk to Mommy" where they would get a lollipop reward for "doing their job". Things pretty much went as they had in the rehearsal. Brielle pranced down the aisle on her tiptoes, along with Allison, Mark's 3 year old neice, who even remembered to sprinkle the flower petals. Josh got a little stage fright and wasn't budging, so Dan ended up walking him down the aisle while holding Corinne in the car seat! Instance #2 of extras coming down the aisle...but not a big deal.<br />
<br />
The ceremony was sweet and extra special to have someone perform it who knew them both so well. Mark was neighbors with Brooke growing up, and she and Renee were cross country and youth group buddies in high school. I don't have any pictures from the ceremony and just a few from the reception, but hope I can post some of their professional pics at a later date. <br />

The first month has been so FULL! I am definitely busier than ever before with three take care of, but we are settling in to life pretty well and taking it one day at a time. We've already made several trips to the library, park, beach, and restaurants as we try to entertain Josh and Brielle, plus we'vehad lots of fun visitors.<br />
<br />
As far as her schedule, Corinne has been eating about every 2 1/2 hours pretty much around the clock. And, she is definitely growing. Through the night she's waking up about every 3 hours, but thankfully, goes right back to sleep after eating. I've been able to sneak a quick nap while J and B nap (or during NBA Finals games when I fall asleep during the fourth quarter - much to Daniel's dismay!). We barely had to cook dinner the first month because great friends provided A LOT of meals and my parents were here. What a blessing! Other than eating, Corinne spends most of her days sleeping and is usually awake an hour or less before she needs another nap! I've swaddled her more than the other kids. I think because they had her swaddled so tightly at Wolfsons, but am moving away from it now. She doesn't seem to care too much either way. Josh and Brielle are doing great with her, but express it in different ways. Josh wants to shower her with lots of hugs and kisses and has a baby voice (I think it's an imitation of mine) and his own pet name for her (Cutie-face). Brielle has gotten VERY interested in playing dolls and likes to change their diapers and feed them milk ("I'm feeding her milk like you, Mom"). <br />
<br />
Below are some pictures from Corinne's first month. <br />
