It’s back to school time, an exciting and busy time of year. Maggie started school the week before Labor
Day. The girl had absolutely no fears or
concerns, and happily began first grade with hardly a look back at
me. It feels good to see her so
comfortable, and so far it seems to be going great!

Bye, Mom

After a good first day
Evie started 4-year old preschool after Labor Day. The week before we visited her classroom to
play a little and meet her teacher. She
was super excited until we got there, and then she was really anxious to leave
as soon as possible. Not surprisingly, drop-off
on the first day was pretty rough. I
kept my cool, gave her some love and then walked away while she sobbed
helplessly behind me… that was hard. She
had a great day though, and is a happy participant at school. Drop-offs continue to be clingy, but she’s
getting a little better. Change is always
hard for our little one.
We made a floam snake
First day of school - excited at home!
...terrified at school
How can I leave this little face?
Ben started daycare too!
He goes two days a week, and Grandma watches him the other three. He is happy as a clam wherever he is, and
this was my least difficult baby to leave at daycare! Unfortunately he got a stomach virus
immediately and has been consistently blowing out at least one outfit every day
since… yay germs.
Just plug your nose and you'll love me...
Sitting like a champ now!
This is a video of Ben laughing at the girls. I've watched it like 50 times because it makes my day.
Jamie and I have been married 9 years! We’re a pretty fantastic team, and I’m so
thankful to have him as my partner. Amy
is a saint and came over to watch our 3 kids plus her 2 kids so that we could
go to Selden for a fancy dinner! The
kids had a great time, and so did we!

Shooting hoops
Got everything under control
Jamie took the kids to the zoo on Labor Day weekend when I really
needed a break from the chaos for a while… also a saint.
Checking out the new red panda exhibit
Not a real giraffe
Chillin with the polar bear
Too cool for the zoo
I wonder how many pictures we have in front of these horses...
Here’s some others from the past couple weeks:
Dinner date with Daddy
This is how they play soccer
First swing... he must remain stationary though
Sleeping beauty
Ready for the first football game (which he happily slept through)
Evie has a fear of the bunk bed falling on her... so every few nights I come upstairs to find her on the floor...
Maggie lost two teeth during her first week of school!
