School and Park

Sam's first time to swing at the park

Sliding together

Watching "Da" cut the grass

About to leave for the first day of school

We took the kids to the park one evening and it was still 90 outside. They had a great time despite the heat. The park we went to this time had the bucket seat swings for Sam and he had the best time swinging. In fact (I wish I could have caught it on camera) he almost fell asleep in the swing because he had only had a cat nap that day.

Savannah celebrated her birthday (on the 9th) by spending the day with us and eating and playing at Chick-fil-A for lunch. Then on the 11th she started school. Busy week for my sweet little girl! She has done great so far. There has been no crying when I drop her off and she has had all "green cards" (good behavior). I pray that this will continue. I stay positive when we talk about going to school and emphasize the fun things, so I think this has helped her.

I have had mixed feelings about her starting school. Sam and I miss her when she is gone. But I can get a lot done from 9 - 11am while Sam takes his nap. So overall I think it is a good experience for us all. However the first time she comes home sick (she had not been to the Dr. in a year when we went for her 4yr checkup!!) I may change my mind :). But I know that comes with the territory. Just not looking forward to it!

I love my babies more than I could ever express in words but I try to show them every day. I personally love the baby stage of having children but I do look forward to the fun things that are ahead as they grow up. The past 4 years have flown by but at the same time it feels like forever ago that Savannah was a baby. Now my baby boy is about to turn a year old! It makes me sad but also makes me cherish what little time I have left having a baby still. Praise God for my 2 little blessings!!
