Adam's First Day of Kindergarten

Adam had a super first day at school today! I couldn't wait to get home from work (it was my first day back) to hear all about it! He said it was "real nice" and it was "the best day of the year"! Wow, I wasn't expecting that. He loved recess and lunch time. And he stayed on green ALL DAY! That means he was good, that's all that matters. :)


I wish I could remember everything he says because he is just so funny.


Apparently Adam was done with pictures, he wouldn't show his face anymore.

Brotherly Love

The Little Mommy

Rachel can't bear to hear Anna crying. I had to put the baby down to give the boys a bath the other night, and Anna didn't want to be put down. So Rachel came to her rescue.

Anna is 4 Weeks Old!

I can't believe a month has flown by. Anna has been such a blessing to our family. She generally gets up once in the night to nurse (sometimes twice, but usually once), she is grumpy for maybe an hour a day- then she's back to a long nap. She weighs about 12 pounds (this was measured by Casey standing on the scale, then holding Anna so I don't know exactly how accurate that is). We love her hair. Her eyes are going to be blue. I want to go hold her now.

Yesterday

I wanted to do a day in pictures yesterday, but that idea quickly flopped. So here are the 3 pictures that I took...


Abby wanted to go to school with Rachel.


When Rachel was leaving for school the cement truck pulled up... Tommy was enthralled.


Yeah, I should be the one practicing.

Strange noises

I think I'll just stay up all night tonight. Thomas has fallen out of bed twice (don't worry, he's in a toddler bed pretty low to the ground), Adam won't stop gritting his teeth (I can hear it even with their door closed), and the baby will need to eat soon. I know when they are teenagers I'll miss these times, but for now I just want some shut eye.

First Day of School!

Rachel bounded out of bed this morning when she heard my alarm go off. She exclaimed, "I've been laying in bed awake FOREVER!" I guess that means she was ready to go to school this morning! My big first grader, I can hardly believe it!


Casey dropped Rachel off on his way to work. I'm excited to pick her up and see how her first day went! Adam starts kindergarten next Monday, we get to see his class and meet the teacher tomorrow morning.



"Bye Rachel!" (Tommy was the only child awake to see her off.)
