Best Buds

Jamie and Poppi have been having so much fun lately! They've been to a baseball game, had lunch at a local airport where they could watch the planes land and take off and went to lunch where they had a huge indoor aquarium. Of course in between these events they have spent lots of time in Poppi's backyard, exploring, throwing rocks, and sharing Gatorade together. They are definitely two peas in a pod and have lots of fun together! :)

At the airport. Jamie couldn't take his eyes off the planes.

She's 10 months old!

Jordan's is now ten months old and is so much fun! She is super busy and is always crawling around and exploring. I have to vacuum every other day to make sure she's not putting random things into her mouth....she's my little carpet sweeper. Any furniture she comes across she will pull herself up automatically. Yesterday she let go of the furniture and stood for about 2 seconds on her own and then fell down. She's sleeping a lot better and eating up a storm. Her favorite activity is to wrestle with daddy and Jamie. Our evenings in the house are very loud with screaming and laughing as everyone is on the floor rolling around and I wouldn't trade it for anything! :)

Trying to get a picture of her is very hard right now. Every time she sees the camera she tries pulls herself up onto my leg and wants to touch it.


The only shot I got of her with her teddy and sitting still. It's a bit blurry but I'm thankful I got one! ;)

Wrestling with the family.....my crazy girl!

Tackling Jamie. As you can see from his expression he loves it too.

"I love my daddy!"

First Day of Preschool

The day has finally arrived.....Jamie had his first day of preschool today. I definitely think I had a much harder time dealing with this transition than he did. I was up all night last night worrying about whether or not he'd find the bathroom okay, if the other kids would be friendly, ,etc. At one point I told Jeremy that I didn't think he was ready and wanted to keep him home for one more year! But, in my heart I do know he's ready and that he'll be just fine.

He's going to preschool two days a week from 8am - 11am. He's going to Harmony Farms. Here's the description, "A place like no other where your child will interact with animals, tend to a flourishing garden, and play in a mini town created just for them. " The preschool has a huge outdoor play area with lots of area for the kids to run, miniature farm animals that the kids will help take care of and a huge garden where they will participate in a Fall and Spring harvest. I visited several preschools last spring and when I walked into this one I knew this was the one for my busy little boy.

A picture of him after he got home from school. This is his new Thomas the Train backpack which he loves.

This is in front of the school. You can tell by his expression he's not too sure about it yet.

In the classroom and he's showing me a bunch of different toys.

So, his first day went well. He was a little bit sad when I left but when I went to pick him up he was fine. I arrived early and peeked inside and they were having story time. Jamie was right in the front and was just memorized by the teacher reading the story. He reminded me so much of myself in this moment! He was very tired when I brought him home and is taking a long nap as I post this.

I know this is the first of many milestones my kids will go through and I'm very happy for them but I must admit my heart ached all morning without my bubbas near me! I will always do what's best for them and let them grow even though I want to hang onto them tight and protect them forever. This parenting thing can be SO tough sometimes! ;)
