Day of Firsts...


What a day...!! Emma started preschool this morning...she goes to school Monday thru Thursday from 9:00 - 11:30. She had a fun day with her new teacher and meeting new friends. It will be good to get into a routine...correlating Ava's morning feeding with getting off to school on time and then picking Emma back up again. Emma also started dance lessons for the first time today. She really seemed to like both the tap class and tumbling class. I am looking forward to the growth and development over the next few months. It is quite surreal taking Emma to dance as I was a student and then a teacher at the same studio for a combination of 17 years. In addition to a crazy day already...Ava had her 2 month shots this afternoon. She and Daddy have been sacked out on the couch since 8:30. :)

Emma standing at the gate...ready to go. All the while saying...enough pictures already mom! On Wednesdays we take our school bag and dance bag. Is Emma too young to call her "the bag lady?" My Grandpa once called me this when I would come home from teaching. LOL

Emma loves her new "Tink" book bag.

Emma in the van watching her movie before heading to school. Our drive is about 10 min. Wonder what would happen if we had to listen to the radio. haha

Miss Erney and Emma...her new teacher.

Ms. Debby and Emma...Emma's new dance teacher. This is Debby's 40th year of teaching. We are so excited to be a part of this exciting year.

12 Weeks old...we have come very far...!!


Today Ava is 12 weeks old...how incredible!! :) We are so blessed with two beautiful girls. Ava is sleeping through the night, eating very well, and so fun to watch these days. She is full of smiles...talking up a storm and enjoying her play mat, swing, and bouncy seat. Ava is so versatile...sleeps just about anywhere...sleeps through ALL kinds of noise (as you can imagine)...and still takes her medicine with a bottle and then nurses. We can't ask for anything more...we pray that her development continues right on track. We pray for positive doctor visits and positive PT evals too. Here are a few pics that we have taken over the last few days. It is hard to choose just a few...enjoy! :)
