Syd over for the day!

This is kinda a silly picture but it was the only one I got when we had Syd over for the day! She is the daughter to my very best friend and the girls love her! We spent the day playing babies and watching Princess Gigi! What great fun we all had!

First Day of Tues/Thurs School

Well, the girls look really ready to go in the first picture. They actually came running in my room the morning of school and both of them saying "I'm not going to cry momma!" You see, they cried almost every day last year when I dropped them off. So this year I was really amazed that they were so excited about going. We talked about school every day when bubba started and kept telling them how in a week they would start. The second picture shows them getting kinda nervous and they know the time is coming. But still they triumph through and they didn't cry when it was time for mom to go. They did although try to walk after me out of the room but their teacher is so awesome, she stopped them and redirected them and they were great for the day! I on the other hand was sad all day long!

This is Rylan at his first game this year. He is usually not number 70 but is number 00. Thank goodness the new jerseys had come in on this day or Rylan would not have had a jersey! This was an extra one that the team had. Rylan had been to a birthday party the night before and left it in the other parents car and we didn't realize it until game time! Ugh. so frustrating! Whew, and dad was mad too! That is my goal is to PLAN AHEAD and get everything ready the night before! Everything seems to go so smoothly when that happens.
Sweet sweet grandad is in the red shirt talking to Rylan. He is such of Big Fan of Rylan and all his grandkids and greatgrandkids. We are so lucky to have him so involved! What a blessing he is!!! We love you Grandad!

This was just precious! I was washing dishes and heard the girls reading so sweetly. When I looked up I discovered the audience they had made. I think they are pretending to read like the ladies do at BSF! I am so thankful Russ has allowed me to stay at home and not work for this season in my life! BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) has been not only a blessing to me, but my girls learn every Wed. that the Bible is true and it is God Breathed! I am so lucky! We are also so lucky to have my best friend in the class with the girls this year! We are very sad that Syd is not in the same class though, but that is all in the plan of our Heavenly Father!

This is a couple of shots of what our girls do while we moms are "PTOing". Up top they are coloring and in the bottom picture they are holding the door open for all the kindergardeners.

Avery in the Brown and Micah in the orange shirt. This was our first day at Beltway Mops. The girls transitioned so well into their class that they stay in for the day. It also helped that they had their friend Aspen to look forward to staying with! WE LOVE OUR CHURCH! With Beltway hosting MOPS it sure helped the girls being dropped off in a familiar place. We had a blast this day and I came away very encouraged!
