BIG NEWS!!!!

Just had to share with everyone that Paige used the potty tonight! For the past month she has been sitting on the potty but that is it. Tonight she sat on it before she got in the tub and we had major success. We are so proud of our sweet Paige!!!!!

First Day of School!

Today was a very big day at our house. Today was Piper's first day of school. She is officially a kindergartner. She was so excited and a bit nervous today. She picked out her clothes last night before bed and requested cinnamon rolls for breakfast. After we had a yummy breakfast and did some pictures at the house, Doug and I loaded her in the car for her special day.

She skipped all the way up the steps - she has so happy to be at school.
It didn't take Piper long at all to make some friends. This is where we had to say good-bye. Yes, both Doug and I had tears in our eyes. Piper waved to us, said she loved us and walked right in.
When she got home today, she had a ton of stuff to tell us. She even brought home a fun poem with her hand print on it. I can't wait to frame it and hang it up. I can't believe that my baby, the little person I was afraid I might break those first couple of weeks home from the hospital, is big enough to be in school.

Fun Pictures

As usual things have been busy around here and to be honest downloading pictures from my camera have been my last priority. But I finally sat down for a few minutes at my computer and I wanted to share some fun pictures from this month.

Doug and I noticed the moon the other night as we were heading to bed. We grabbed the camera and headed outside. I love how quiet it is at night. Poppy Rick, Piper, and Paige hanging out in the hammock. Those girls sure do love their godfather and we are so lucky that he loves them right back.

Paige loving on her horse she got from Uncle Ty and Aunt Dina.
Paige could be surrounded by a thousand different toys and she would still want to play in an empty box. I asked where she was going and she said, "Gamma". I just can't get over how cute she is.
You just have to love this face!
Grandma and Grandpa gave Piper some money this last weekend and she decided that she wanted to buy her own backpack for school. Before we headed to the store she had already made up her mind that she wanted a Rapunzel backpack. As soon as she saw this one in the store she told me that we didn't need to look anymore. I swear if I would let her wear this to bed she would. She is so excited to wear her new clothes, use her backpack, and start school. We are two weeks away from her first day and she is just bouncing with excitement.

Piper and Paige have a quick snack of Puff Corn before bed. I sure do love these two little pumpkins!
