Bye Bye & Boo

We've posted a couple videos of Nate here. Check them out!

Here she is!

Sucking her little thumb

Her head is to the left with a hand resting up near her face. She also has one of her knees resting near her tummy.

Her precious profile. Looks like she has the same button nose as her brothers!

It was a success! Benjamin was all smiles this morning as we woke up slowly and got ready for school! He was eager to pull his own backpack without any help--but wanted snuggle bear to come along too! It was a great day watching him grow up, but still want to be Mama's boy! Mrs. B. invited us to stay for storytime this morning. "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn was perfect, although it brought tears to my eyes! After the story, it was time to stay goodbye. It was a hard leave for both Ben and me! But Mrs. B was a great snuggler! I stuck around in the hallway a whole minute to listen to Benjamin go from crying to playing! Thank you Jesus! Benjamin was nothing but smiles and stories when Nathaniel and I went to pick him up! Mrs. B said that he calmed down quickly and got to be her special snack helper today. Benjamin picked pretzels as today's snack! He got to play dress-up as a fireman, play on the outside playground, and learned how to say criss-cross applesauce! Mrs. B said that Benjamin was the only student who wanted to give her a snuggle all day--she called him her lovebug! Here are some pictures to document the fun day!

Looking at all the kids coming in! Nate was happy!

Ben's happy too!

In the classroom---reality starting to set in

Finding his name on the apple tree

Found it!

Saying morning prayers before Mrs. B reads the story

Playing on the playground!

waiting patiently for Mama and Nate

The priceless face of a two year old who has been waiting for his Mama!

Enjoyed the day, but ready to go home!

Preschool wiped Ben out....

Baby Sister Update

I still haven't posted pictures of our little girl from our ultrasound, I'll try to do that as soon as I can!
We had an appointment today! I am almost 26 weeks along and it seems Baby Girl is growing just fine! I've only gained 4 pounds so far, so I'm pretty excited about that! My blood pressure is good too! I am measuring right on 'Q' and Baby Girl's heartbeat is in the 150's!
My next appointment is full of sugar and blood testing! They'll test me for gestational diabetes. I was blessed with both boys to avoid this, so I'm hoping to this time as well!
I promise to get Baby Girl's pics up as soon as possible!

Preschool Open House

Benjamin loved his preschool open house. It was a great first experience in the classroom with other kids and Mrs. B! We started on his first homework assignment tonight. Mrs. B is making a class book that Benjamin will eventually bring home to share with us. He got to cut pictures out of magazines that represented his favorite food, color and animal. We still need to find pictures of his favorite color and what he likes to do best. He's already the best student I know!
