WED - 9.14

Someone isn't feeling very well and it was a long, long night for us. Corey and I had to take turns holding this little one to get her to sleep at all. Poor little thing. I hope she gets over this fever and cold soon! Seeing her this uncomfortable just breaks my heart. 

TUES - 9.13

How is our child old enough to be going to school???? Mara was more than ready to start the school year but this Mama is still trying to get used to the idea. Daddy went with her to the first day since it was Parent Orientation. Though it breaks my heart that my job does not allow me to spend these days with her, I smile when I think of how special it is that her Daddy is as involved as he is. He reported that she was very confident playing and working around the classroom while they were there. She loved figuring things out...she already knows where to put her backpack and how to move from station to station while in the classroom. I pray that she has a wonderful first year that will really lay the foundation for enjoying school for the rest of her academic life. 

MON - 9.12

Be still my heart...

SUN - 9.11

Monkey see, monkey do! Everyone got involved with today's game of hopscotch... even Baby Ruth got in on the fun! 

SAT - 9.10

Daddy is away on his annual Guy's Camping Trip. This means that the Thomas girls get to go be goofy at a craft store. These Thanksgiving headbands were just too cute to pass up. I love spending time with my little turkey and princess!

FRI - 9.9

 We recently picked a theme for Kenna's first birthday party...can you guess what it is? Mara and I were trying out some of the party favors tonight... :)

Kenna loves this caterpillar tunnel! Tonight Daddy took the excitement to an all new level by incorporating peek-a-boo with it. Happy baby! 

THURS - 9.8

Mara started dance class at a different school today. I am already much more impressed than I was with our previous dance school. She is a creature of habit though and change is quite hard for her. She needs some time to adjust to all things new. She says that she wants to go back to her other dance class but I am confident, if we give it a few weeks, she will come around. Everyone at this new place is so warm and welcoming! I already know her teacher's name (I still have no idea what her teacher's name was at the last place)!
