We just found out our neighbors sold their home and we are super sad to see them go.

They have become friends over the past 5 years. Blake will probably be upset the most.

He has gone over there countless times to play on their playset and as their little boy got older he's enjoyed playing with him too. When they had their second baby, Blake just "had" to go see him.

We will miss them dearly.

More updates

I had forgotten to take Jalyssa's first day of school pic (it was early). So I asked my sister to take one of her when she got home from school. 

This is what she got. Yep her skirt was appropriate length for school.

The VanderMaas Reunion Pic. Lots of people missing this year.

Blake had his first soccer game on Saturday, they only had 1 practice prior to that because the other one was rained out.

They lost but still had fun. He loves his cool uniform.

Later Saturday we went to a Church Block Party down the street from us. 

Blake had a Bat painted on his face. Cutie!

Jalyssa

Jalyssa has changed so much this summer.

She did wear mascara most of the summer, but for some reason she didn't the day we shot the Left picture. 

So it's a very drastic change when you compare the two.

I'm sure even her 1st day school picture (which I forgot to take of her this morning) will even look different than these.

Lots of updates

School has begun. Boy summer went fast!

Lots has gone on. Blake started Soccer last week, he loved it.

Blake and I went to the zoo a few weeks ago.

Oh and Jalyssa loves skinny jeans. She's changed a lot this summer.
