LJ's 1st Day of School

Today was LJ's first day of school - well Kids Day Out (KDO) - at Oak Hills United Methodist Church. We went to a 'Meet the Teachers/Orientation' last week where we took LJ for 2 hours but got to stay with him, and he had a great time. But today, we just dropped him off... and he did great!!

He started playing with the train table as soon as he walked in the room and never looked back. But then the teachers said we should always say bye to him (I usually sneak away at the gym or church when I drop him off). But when I said bye, he started crying a little and clinging to me. I just told him I loved him, would be back soon and left. Teacher said by the time we were out the door he was over it! And he did great! I hope he continues to enjoy it and has a wonderful first year at school!

He will be going to KDO on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 am- 1pm. This week they are only doing half days to let the kids ease into it, so he is only there from 9 am - 11 am. There are 10 students in his class (8 of whom will be 2 years old before December so very close to LJ's age) and two teachers, Ms. Rita and Ms. Dianne.

Here are a few pictures:

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
