Bella Grace's First Day of Preschool!!!!

Today was Bella Grace's first day of preschool.  She went last year for the 3 year old class and now we have moved up!  We were so lucky and got to keep our same teacher, Mrs. Christine!  And we've spent the entire summer asking "can I go to big girl school tomorrow?"  Sadly, I could not go because of bed rest, but Daddy got some cute pictures! :)

In the parking lot! :)

Waiting to go into her classroom.

Daddy tried to get a cubby picture, but BG was too excited about everything else going on! :)

Bella Grace and Mrs. Christine!

Signing in (she looks just like me from behind)!

When she got home I took this picture, I love the hair--you can tell she had fun!

Silly pose at the front door!

Love it! :)

Have a great day!

Chuck-E-Cheese...

It seems so long ago that I could actually go out and DO SOMETHING and not be on bedrest! :)   When we had Addyson's 4D ultrasound, Grand took us to Chuck-E-Cheese as a treat for Bella Grace.  She's been a bit obsessed with going and her dream finally came true!

Putting in the coins all by herself!

Grayson had to be held most of the time, when he was put down it was like you let a monkey out of his cage!!  Haha!

He wasn't too interested in playing but we got him to do one game!

Look at his hair!  We were all hot and sweaty!

She was so happy!

In the "whoah" as Grayson says!

She had a ball! :)

Thanks Grand!

Love,

My Classroom...

Since I am unable to be in my classroom right now, I can live through pictures! :)  It is so hard to be out at the beginning of the year because you had a baby (I did that with baby #2), but to be told you can't go at all, is really hard!  I wish I could meet my sweet babies next week but I know I have to take care of myself and Addyson and stay laying/sitting! :)  Here are a just a few pictures of my room...

Calendar time!  This picture is from last year, above the red chair I've added the behavior clip chart.

I didn't take pictures of the other 100 centers (home living, science, puzzles, play-dough, blocks, check out library, make-a-word, read-the-room, big books, etc.).  Also the room looks SOOO much better when our theme work is up!  This year our pod theme is "The Great Outdoors."  I can't wait to decorate our room with clouds, sun, animals, etc.! :)

I hope everyone is having a great time getting ready for back to school! :)

Addyson's 4D ultrasound...

About a week ago we took a little day trip to do Addyson's 4D ultrasound.  We were a little worried it was too late (I was 34 weeks) and we wouldn't be able to get a good picture of her, but we did! :)  Here are some...

She was weighing in at 5 lbs. at 34 weeks, however this week I had an ultrasound and she is 6 lbs. 11 oz.!  Oh my! :)  She is doing great, but mommy is now on bed rest.  Hopefully we will make it another couple of weeks so that she's not too early! ;)

Love,
