End of summer fun

Summer around the twin cities always wraps up with the state fair, and a post about that is coming soon. But, for now, here are some pictures of what ELSE we've been up to these past few weeks.

The girls had their first visit to the dentist and did GREAT! I couldn't believe how well they did. Penelope cried a little at the beginning but then warmed up, and Zahra (in the glasses below) was a total pro from the start.

There's been lots and lots of swimming.

And park going

And book reading - here's Quinn's list of his favorite books he read this summer.

The girls got to go visit their new preschool, and of course Quinn came along to see his old stomping grounds.

 Quinn also had his own school visit - for back to school night. School starts for him next week!

Do you see what was hanging in his classroom? A presidents poster and maps!!! He got all red and flushed when he saw them. 

Finally, we got a new piano in the house! Of course, it's just for Quinn now but the girls are eagerly awaiting their turn. Zahra in particular does some excellent "playing" paired with singing. I hope to get some video of that soon.
