8 months... a few weeks ago ;)

Davis cut his first tooth on Aug 1st.
He wants nothing to do with crawling instead he likes to stand (holding on to furniture) and scoot from one thing to the next until he falls down and someone has to stand him up again.
He is still just a happy, ticklish, snugly, sweet little baby boy.


Back to school

This summer flew by and I still can't believe the girls are back in school!

Here they have the same teacher for 2 years and this year they both got new teachers so we were very excited to see who they got and which kids were in their classes.

Hallie and Megan both got awesome teachers and we are seriously thrilled!
Hallie's two dearest friends are in her class too!



Just last year Megan was starting kindergarten and I was so worried because she was so shy. A lot has happened in one year. Yes, she is still pretty shy but she is growing and coming out of her shell more and more.


Last year it took her a few weeks before she spoke to her teacher and this year she shocked me and talked (she just said one word but for her that is great) to her new teacher the day we met her.
Last year she never spoke in front of her whole class and this year she said "yes mam" 4 times in front of her whole class on the first day of school. She was so proud of herself and told me all about it when she got home.

The older I get (and the more kids I have) the faster time goes by. It's almost scary how fast my kids are growing up and changing. I'm realizing more and more that I need to slow down and enjoy my kids instead of getting all tied up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and losing all those little moments. It's so easy to say that but sometimes it is so difficult to remember!


Anyway, here's to another GREAT school year!
