Kat's First Day of 3rd Grade!

Kathryn started 3rd grade last week!  She is now at the 'big kid' school!  *sniff*

(K-2 goes in one building and 3-5 goes in another; like having two school right next door).

I can tell she is growing up because she only posed for one 'official' picture! 

She is very excited to start 3rd grade.  She has a male teacher this year, he is a retired Air Force guy, and I think he will be a great teacher for her.  Kat says she likes him and he is a nice teacher.  She has already made a couple of new friends at school (which is HUGE for her!)  She will be learning and perfecting her cursive writing, multiplication tables, and lots of other great stuff! 

Kat has had a really good first week of school and is excited for this year.   

 Here we go!

 Emma and I walked her in to the playground and helped her find her class line. 

Then it was time for one last hug!

Hope you have a great year!  We love you so much!

Emma's First Day of Preschool!

Emma was soooo excited to start school!  She has been asking for weeks when it would start!  She picked out her outfit for her big day and everything!  She started on Aug 24, but the two days she went that week she only was there for an hour.  Tomorrow will be her 'official' first day of being there for the whole 3 1/2 hours!

She loves school!  She loves playing with her new friends, making crafts, singing songs, and having snack time!  I have a feeling she will be a great student and friend! 

I can not believe she is in preschool already!  It seems like yesterday that she was just a baby and we were taking Kat to preschool!  She is such a special girl and has such spunk!  I don't know what we would do without her! 

 She is such a poser!  When ever I pull out the camera, she strikes a pose!  Love it!

 Emma really wanted to buy a new book bag, but I knew they were giving her a new bag.  She is excited to have a bag that is all hers!  She won't even let Kat near it! :)

We love you Emma!  Have a great year in Preschool!

New Puppies!

My mom's miniature dachshund had puppies!

She had two boys and they are simply adorable!

This is Sebastian. He is the lighter of the two and will probably end up close to his momma's color - light blond. He is so cute and playful! He likes to lick and bite toes!

The darker one is Marco Polo - because when he was first born he would just wander off! He is the quieter one of the two, but his coat is simply stunning! He melts my heart!

They are both so cute! If you are interested in a puppy, my mom will be selling the boys in a couple of weeks. Let me know!
