Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was a fabulous, relaxing weekend in the Donoghue house… we did practically nothing and it was glorious!  We’ve been so busy lately, and we have a lot of things coming up – it was great to sit around and hang as a family for a few days.

I love when they place so nicely together

We took Maggie to the doctor last Friday to discover that she had strep throat, so now she’s on antibiotics.  Then the next day we took her in to get her physical and four shots.  She was such a trooper!  The doctor spent some time talking about her growth stats.  Her weight is no longer in-line with her height, and so we are going to be focusing on more healthy snacks, cutting out the nutrition-less stuff… which is probably something we need to do anyway!  The doctor also recommended that we schedule some physical therapy to check on her muscle tone and coordination; there are no major concerns, but we want to make sure her club-feet don’t hold her back as she gets older.

Good morning!

I took the girls for haircuts last weekend.  Evie has always needed me to hold her for haircuts since they freak her out a bit… this time she was finally able to sit by herself!

Didn't cry once, but was extremely serious the whole time

Maggie started school on Wednesday, and jumped right into the new routine!  She loves her new teacher!

She insisted on wearing a dress
(she pretty much insists every morning)

Ready to get started
