Update

Our little family has had a busy summer and a lot going on in Fall of 2011 too. Rachael graduated from college with her BS in General Studies. She is so glad to be done with school and on to more fun time with Cosette. Nathan is in his last semester at Penn State. He will officially graduate with his MBA in May. Then we are headed to Houston. We are so excited for the future travel opportunities that his job will bring to our family. Cosette has been busy growing tall and learning how to be a toddler. She loves going to nursery and cries only when she has to leave all her friends. She is an early bloomer and has hit the terrible twos early. Tantrums are now her way of acting out. Overall she is a great little girl but she is also very independent and full of adventure. Here are some pictures from the fall. Now that Rachael is done with school we will post more often so keep your eye out for some more pictures and updates.

 This picture is of Cosette in her element. She loves to carry a purse and hold her babies. In this case it was a monkey baby. She loves babies and now says baby pretty well. It's really cute how "motherly" she is. 

 Cosette and I went to Way Fruit Farm with some of our friends here in State College. We learned a lot about how they care for the apples. The storage room smelled so good and we took a minute to take a quick picture together. 

 Her smile is so worth all those tantrums. We love this girl! 

 The whole Peruch family went to a football tailgate party. It was fun and we are glad that Nathan went to such a good school. The quality of education is great here regardless of the ethical issues the football and athletic department may be having right now. 

 For Halloween Cosette was a pumpkin and her little "boyfriend" Jackson was batman. Are they not the cutest thing? 

 We had fun at the Church Halloween Chili dinner. 

 Nathan's brother Kyle got married in December and this is a picture of CoCo dancing with her Uncle Bob. She loved dancing and twirling in her little silver dress.  

 Cosette and the Bride and Groom. Welcome to the Peruch family Melanie. 

 Cosette and Mama. 

 Kyle and Melanie #3. That's right we have three Melanie Peruchs. They are a perfect couple and we are so glad that we got to be there to support them on their special day. It was so fun to see everyone at the reception. 

 Cosette was trying to find out why the music stopped for Grandpa Peruch to talk. She wanted to keep dancing the night away. 

 Our family with the happy couple. 

 Going with our family tradition to wear red footie PJs on Christmas eve and morning Cosette rocked these threads with all her cuteness. 

Most of the Peruch family celebrating Kyle and Melanie.
