1st day for Ainsley

Ainsley started school on Wednesday, August 20th....where did the summer go?

1st day of school for Kaley

Kaley attended school on Wednesday, the 20th- to meet Mrs. Hazel. This was an out of uniform day for her. Kaley's first full day was the 21st....uniform and all.

Where did the summer go....well, here we are on the 1st day of school. Ainsley has Ms. Dillman (Ms. D) and Kaley has Mrs. Hazel. Michael could not have found us a more ideally located house- it is great be so close to school, where I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time.

Cheese

Kroger sells all kinds of packaged shredded cheese. I've been using lots of this one. Only in Ohio!!!!

Special Fed Ex Delivery for Daddy

It's a bird, It's a plane, NO>>>It's a special delivery for Daddy!!

Camping out in the Sunroom

Aahhhh, the lazy days of summer. Ainsley and Kaley decided that they wanted to "camp out" in the sunroom one night. Of course, mommy was the one who was cranky the next day as I had one of those "worry" nights and eventhough I was right there with them, I didn't sleep a wink.

American Girl Dolls and Hannah

Ainsley and Hannah have a good time playing with their American Girl Dolls. Hannah is in 4th grade, but is always very kind to include Kaley.

Another Pig and Superstar Readers

This Pig is located in Montgomery, on Cooper, in front of a store called Gattles. Kaley wanted a photo of it to send to her friend, Avery, who is very fancy (Kaley's favorite word, these days).

My Superstar readers!!!!

Decoating the signs with McKenna, Kylie and Mia

Once we completed our summer reading project, up went the signs from the library.

Time on the Ohio River

We went on a cruise of the Ohio River. Here are some of the sights from the water.

Observatory in Eden Park

Multi Million dollar condo in Kentucky

Great American Ballpark

I like this shot. Somehow I managed to photograph two bridges lined up with each other.

This place is a FREE "spray ground"- we need to explore this a bit more

Playground for All. Kaley really liked the swing.

Another "Flying Pig" This one at Sawyer Point

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC?) was an ancient Roman aristocrat and political figure, serving as consul in 460 BC and Roman dictator in 458 BC and 439 BC

"With one hand he returns the fasces, symbol of power as appointed dictator of Rome. His other hand holds the plow, as he resumes the life of a citizen and farmer." — A statue of Cincinnatus in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Visit to Fountain Square

There is a farmers market on Tuesdays at Fountain Square. We met Michael for lunch, but the mounted police were the highlight of Ainlsey's lunch.
