First Day of Preschool!

Anna is so excited to go to Epworth for Preschool! She was able to get into a multi-age class. She will be with 3 and 4 year olds! She gets to do reading, writing, circle time and singing! We are so excited that she loves it so much. She even gets to have lunch every day at the school. Anna goes from 9-1 and is in heaven. We are so thankful that circumstances caused us to switch places. We love Epworth and look forward to a fantastic year!

Does it get any better then this?

Just a day in the life of the Alley friends.

This was our last day before school started. We wanted to make sure the children had a wonderful last day of summer. I think that it was a success.

We love our Alley Friends!

Backyard Fun

I love it when the weather breaks a bit and we get to go outside and enjoy! The kiddos LOVED pulling the paints and markers out so that they could get crafty on us! Well, Scott did Math and Anna painted a bunch of colors on paper. That is about as craft as we get.

I am not fat, I am big boned.

Time out or photo op?

They were fighting upstairs and I assumed the mother role by putting them in time out. As I walk down the steps and see them snuggling like this..I assume the role of photographer and proud mother.

They really do love each other! I have proof!

Safety first

I am not sure this even needs comments. This is Anna on any given day. It could be tutus or princess attire or even this incredibly safe way to push a stroller.

Does it get any better then this?
I love my life.

A day in the Village!

The kiddos and I felt that we needed to go up to Weaver Street and get ice cream for our yummy homemade cookies they helped me make. When we got up to Market, we noticed that the Farmer's Market was there and we were excited to walk through and see what they had. We were even more excited when we saw that one of the booths had birdhouses that we could paint! Scott and Anna spend so much time painting these gorgeous houses. This day was heaven! We had so much fun painting and playing with friends. I just love our neighborhood. Somedays I almost want to pinch myself because it is so perfect for our family at this time in our lives. We have friends all around and plenty of FUN things to do from parks, playdates, swimming, tennis and market!

Could this child be any cuter?

I don't think so!

Scott's first day of FIRST grade!

When did my little boy with the Charlie Brown head turn into this handsome young man? People always told me that children grow up so fast. I am just now understanding the truth to that statement.

Scooter was so excited to go to First Grade this year. We were even more excited to find out that he is going to have Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs. Zsuppan again! They have moved up to first grade as well and we are beyond extatic!

Hurray for a great year!
