First Day of KIndergarten

2010-08-23T15:55:00.004-05:00

Today was Callie's first day of Kindergarten. When I woke her up this morning she said, I got lots of good sleep last night mommy so I can work real hard my first day of Kindergarten.

We had a wonderful morning and were able to read Psalm 121 together and pray for her day. We also had time to take pictures and we even arrived 15 minutes early to school. God is so gracious and good! We are so excited about the new school year, all that she will learn and the new friends that she will make.

As we were waiting in the pick up line Blaire said, "I really miss Cayee." It was fun to have time with the other two. We went to Sawyer's house and they had a fun time playing. Blaire said when I woke her up this morning, I get to stay at home and do lots of fun things with mommy!"

I know it will be an exciting year and exciting month - two weeks of school then two weeks in Germany!!!!

Family, Funnel Cakes and Fireworks

2010-07-07T11:51:00.005-05:00

We had a great time at Red, White and Boom in Mckinney on July 4th.We enjoyed the bounce houses as well as the corndogs, lemonade and funnel cakes (my favorite!)

Our kids enjoyed running around while waiting for the fireworks. After the show started Owen said,"Ooooooooh and whoooooooaaaaa many times - so cute!

New favorite toy

2010-02-28T21:37:00.002-06:00

Owen's new favorite toy is the Cozy Coupe. He has been holding onto it and pushing it around but today he discovered how to crawl into it. We made many laps around the kitchen today as we took turns pushing him.

Snow

2010-02-28T21:26:00.004-06:00

Owen laughed so hard everytime his sisters threw snowballs at the window!

Beautiful day to go to the park!

Our fun in the snow - what a crazy winter we have had!

Callie and Bud Buds

2010-02-28T21:21:00.003-06:00

Callie recently came up with the nickname Bud Buds for Owen - not sure how she thought of that name but no question she loves her brother. She wants to hold him all the time and this particular day he seemed to enjoy it!

2010-01-16T16:11:00.005-06:00

Little Owen is 10 months old. The months have flown by and we are so grateful for our sweet guy. He is a good little eater - hated baby food but will eat regular table food with no complaints. He loves to snuggle and get into everything. New favorite activity - climbing stairs.

He seems to be the most entertained by his sisters who adore him!

His first word.....Mamma

He also says Dada

His favorite toy seems the be his sister's Barbie camper.

So hard to believe our happy little guy is 8 months old! He brings such joy to our family with his sweet smile. He is busy getting into everything. He crawls on his belly, puts everything in his mouth and has begun pulling himself up. His sisters love him and he is very entertained by them!

First Day of Pre-K

2009-08-23T19:36:00.003-05:00

Callie Love started Pre-k on Tuesday. She is going to Coram Deo Academy and we are so excited about their program. She goes on T/Th and then we do homeschooling two other days. It is a little bit of an adjustment for everyone. Blaire cried on Thursday and said, "I miss Callie." It has been nice to have time just with the other two even though we miss our Callie. Here are some pictures of her first day!

Picture day

2009-08-23T19:21:00.006-05:00

Last week I took the kids to get their picture taken. The plan was for my husband to come along but at the last minute he had a phone meeting. Thankfully it worked at ok and he was able to come at the end. It is a tradition that Ginger and Craig give us a blanket with a huge picture of our kids on it when they are around 4 months old - Owen is 5 months in this picture - can't wait to open presents on Christmas! Here are a few.

My Sweet Girls

2009-03-09T21:25:00.000-05:00

Today we found out that Baby Owen will be born tomorrow. The girls are very excited to meet their brother. They have enjoyed patting my belly, watching him move, talking to him and giving him/me kisses. It will be so fun tomorrow to have them do all those things to him and not just to my belly! We appreciate all your prayers and will keep you updated on his arrival!
