Preschool

Adelyn is attending preschool 2 days a week this year and we are both so excited! She started a few weeks ago and is loving every minute. She barely even says goodbye to us when we drop her off. Here are some pictures from the first day.


This is her school bag that she was given to decorate. She was the mastermind behind what you see here. I of course stayed up way too late gluing on ribbon and pom-poms as extra decoration.


She was also given a poster to tell more about herself. We included pictures, lots of stickers and answered questions like who are your friends and what do you want to be when you grow up.


Adelyn said her friends are Brody, Barrett, Presley, Gracyn & Aunt Corrie. When she grows up she'd like to be a teenager and photographer at Arnold Palmer Hospital.


Here are Adelyn & Presley. They have been friends since before birth, are 5 weeks apart, and have baby brothers who are also 5 weeks apart. I don't know if they'll always go to the same school but I hope they always get to take a "first day" picture together.


And just because I love a good comparison, here's our first day of school picture from August 2009. Adelyn was 10 months old and I taught 5th grade part time. She has certainly changed...

But then again...

maybe not.

So cute! How quickly they grow! Gracyn will be happy to know she was included in her friends list ;-) She has been asking to play 'play-doh' with Adelyn ever since we came to visit!

The Terrific Two's

Adelyn officially hit the 2 1/2 mark a couple of months ago and oh my, this kid is a mess! She is just so full of life, personality, words, thoughts, opinions, energy, did I mention words? There are days when I'm pretty sure she's trying to reach her 5,000+ words used for the day quota before lunch time and it wears me out! She is also the sweetest, smartest, funniest, most charming 2 year old in the whole world. (In my humble opinion as her mother of course.) Don't get me wrong, she is by no means perfect. The past couple of weeks she's been in rare form but we think the two's are far more terrific than terrible. She is very much into the details and notices everything. She sees those decorative ball things that go on car antennas everywhere. One day she saw a red Mickey Mouse head and told me the reason it's red is because his overalls are red. It's been so neat to hear her start to use logic and reason or give explanations. Adelyn is quite the tease an...

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9

Eye to Eye

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to know that Matt & I don't always agree on everything. For example, I think Matt should appreciate what a bargain shopper I am. Matt doesn't think I should shop. Clearly, someone's mistaken. But when it comes to parenting we really have been in agreement on every issue (yes, I know it's only been 6 months) but one...Diapers. Now before you think to yourself "I wonder if they're using cloth diapers?" let me just tell you that we completely agree that money should never be saved on 3 items. Toilet Paper. Paper Towels. And you guessed it, Diapers. So what's problem? It's the size of the diaper. If it was up to Matt, Adelyn would still be wearing the newborn size. (I think he's in denial about the fact that she's actually grown since being born). I however, the head diaper changer, fully understand the importance of a well fit diaper. In Matt's defense, he has never actually changed a blow-...
