7 months!

Yep, she's a "keeper!"

Rub-a-dub with me!

Now that "Miss Miss" can sit by herself she was able to take a bath in the big tub. She LOVED it and was smiling and kicking her legs the entire time. She had her big bro with her to keep her company...

Surprise!!

Bubba picked up Ben after school so they could get to work on a special birthday dinner for me. Check out that beautiful cake decorated by Ben. I have one thoughtful son :)

PS - he loves to relax with a nice glass of red wine after a hard day at school...

Innsbrook for Mama's B-DAY!

 Bebe and Grandad took Ben to Innsbrook after school on Friday for a special overnight trip. Well, when he got there he was ready to go!

The next day the rest of the family joined him. Thankfully I'll always have someone to help me blow out my birthday candles!

Innsbrook for Mama's B-DAY!

 A dip in the pool - she's our water baby - loves to swim!

 A chat with her favorite girl cousin!

 Innsbrook can really tucker out a girl!

 Lucky mom/Auntie with some of my favorite kids!

Auntie's hair was LONG so we had to see what Nora would look like with hair. We think it's cool Auntie eventually donated it to Locks of Love!!

Homework-

Ben had his first taste of homework this week. It was a worksheet to practice writing the letter "F" (Hopefully this isn't an indication of his future grades). We practiced "Long line down, jump frog, short line at the top, jump frog, short line in the middle." He was gung-ho to get his homework done (that MIGHT NOT last!!) and was pretty proud of one of his Fs in particular!

Kindergarten-

This boy was READY for Kindergarten. He woke up rearin', ready-to-go and never looked back!! He had a great first day (told us that he LOVES his teacher, and didn't say much else). How could five years go by so fast?! We're proud of you Ben, and look forward to a great year!!
