SOCCER . . .

Ready or not, here she comes!

Now if we can get her to focus on the game instead of hugging her friend . . . {unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries during that part}

Preschool Photo Shoot

My little girl started preschool the other day. 

We tried . . .

. . . and tried to get a picture of her with her eyes open.   We tried taking a little break.

She even tried to hold them open.

Finally, with a turn and a "flash" surprise . . .

WE GOT IT!!!  Have a great day at preschool you cute, little girl!

A different child . . . 

A different love.

A NEW LOVE

Isn't it great to live near a mom and sisters who can help you do this?

Random thoughts

First:

I think teething might just be the end of me. Bo Bo's 4 molars have all broken through this week, and he let me know all about it. Yes my little boy, I know they hurt, and I'm sorry. Now Mommy's head hurts too.

Second:

As I was tending to Little Bo this afternoon, I was listening to T and H. They were playing "lava" together. I loved listening to them play the same game I used to play when I was little.

Birthday, School, and Everything In Between

Our sweet little girl has been waiting all summer for this day. She turned 3 . . . again! At least that's what I kept telling her. She really wanted to be 4 though, so I conceded---this year.

I took some birthday pictures of her right after church. I don't know what they do in her class, but when I send her in, she looks absolutely adorable and put together. When she comes out, although still absolutely adorable, she is also a bit disheveled. I guess that's what happens when you fill a room with 3-4 year olds :).

That evening we enjoyed cupcakes picked out by the birthday girl herself. Little Bo really got into the birthday spirit. I don't know if he was the one who enjoyed it the most (although he was happy about it), but he certainly got the messiest. I had a blue tub that night.

Not to be upstaged, T had his first day of school! With two years already under his belt, he was not nervous in the least. I love the confidence that school gives him!

And here's just a random shot of T and a lincoln log house he was proud of. He made it once with my help, then built it again all by himself.
