Summer is over and we are back in school. It's FALL and that means the Great Pumpkin is getting closer!
We had a good time at the Napa County Fair. Mama is mad at Dada because he gave us some money to play games, and we won some fish! So now, we have added fish to the dogs, rabbits & chickens!

We had a lovely end to the summer, but it was also bittersweet. We changed schools this year. I'm super excited and love all my new friends. It was harder for Declan because he's older and had more friends at our old school, but he's being a real trouper and learning the new ropes. Mama and Dada decided to switch schools for us because Declan is almost in middle school and they thought this would be the best school moving forward. I LOVE the new school and have quickly made new friends like Elizabeth, Rosie, Brooklyn, Jacqueline, Lucy & Mika. We are really fortunate that BOTH Haines' family & Lucius' family also decided to switch schools at the same time, so we are all still together!

I'm working hard on my reading! I'm also continuing my horseback riding and Tae Kwon Do. I just got my GREEN belt too!

Declan is keeping up with his fencing, but he is also in the Robotics class at school and making super cool robots. He also loves coding and is making some really cool games.
Mama & Dada have committed to making sure Declan has plenty of playdates with his friends from Vichy, his old school. Dada took Declan and his three awesome friends out for a whole day at Scandia- mini golf, arcade, bumper boats, Laser tag, etc!

We just spent a really fun weekend in Seattle with Mama & Dada's friends from college, Dr. Brad & Mrs. Carol. They have a gorgeous huge house right on Puget Sound - so we got to watch the beautiful water and the bald eagles every day. We spent a whole afternoon on a private boat going around Lake Washington - seeing all these crazy billionaire's homes, including one with an entire (real) T-Rex skeleton in the living room!

Dada was traveling for one weekend, so Mama took both of us out to a fancy steak house in Napa for dinner. We had an awesome time, and we LOVED all the food so much we want to go back every weekend!
Here's also a few random pictures of other fun times in the past few months.
Loving Harry Potter, but couldn't stay awake this time!
New Napa heat record - 115 degrees! It called for a slip & slide!
And to warm up after the slip & slide, we got in the 104 degree hot tub, which felt cool on a 115 degree day
Our nanny Miss Cami had a wedding reception!

Gran came for a super short weekend of fun!
