Swinging!

Since the weather has been less than scorching the past few days,

we have been enjoying playing outside in the back yard.

And Anna is big enough to swing on the outside swing now and she loved it!

Emma was excited too because she was able to do the big swing all by herself!

This was a first for both girls. What an exciting day!

Hooray for rain!!!

After an unbearable summer, with temperatures in the 100s for what has seemed like a solid month, we finally have some cooler weather (anything below 80 is cool compared to what we've been having) and rain!!! Emma was so excited that she finally got to wear her rain gear and splash in actual puddles!!!

Anna's First Day at Mother's Day Out!

Along with firsts today, it was Anna's first day of Mother's Day Out.

And just like Emma, I was pleasantly surprised! She did not fuss or cry when we handed her over to her teacher and left! When I went to pick her up she was asleep, but the teacher said she had only been asleep for 10 minutes and that was all she had slept the whole day. I dropped her off at 9:00 and picked her up at 1:30! She did sleep till 8:00 this morning at home. When we got home she took a 1 1/2 hour nap! I can't believe our baby isn't so much a baby anymore! She will be 10 months old in just 12 days. :( Where did the time go?!?

She is getting cuter by the day though and has such a happy and cute little personality.

Dressed and ready!

Say Cheese!

Oh how I love these girls!!!

Look how big!

Anna's nice new teacher, Ms. Valerie.

It's not a smile, but she's not screaming!

I would say it was a good first day!

First Day of School!

Emma started preschool today. I can't believe we have a preschooler!

She did so great! She did not fuss or protest when we left, she just smiled and said "bye!" I was shocked! When I went to pick her up she was actually asleep! And she said she liked school! Wow! This day went much better than I expected! Hooray!!!

This morning she got a new personalized placemat for a Happy First Day of School Present!

It has her name, the alphabet, and shapes that she can trace and wipe-off.

She looked so cute in her frog shirt to go along with the theme of her classroom.

Our little preschooler!
