First Day of Kindergarten!

My baby is officially a Kindergartner!!! She has now been to two days of class and is SO excited for more. She loves her teacher and plays well with her classmates. She even sent this email to her Siti and Ghido(pronounced sit-TEE and zhi-DOE) about her first day:

dear siti and ghido i had fun at kindergarden miss marshall is a good teacher the names of my friends are davis grant and chayan emma fulton anna joy asher joshaua and daniel i can t remember any more names

So fun!!

Now on to the pics, which is probably why you're reading this post at all...I mean, I know I would!! :)



Elizabeth and her teacher. E is in the "frogs" Kindergarten class. Ribbit!



BONUS:

Updated pics of the other two little Morties on Sissy's first day of school. So fun!!!

6 Months Old!

Little Man is officially six months old. He's been to the doctor, and he's had his photo shoot.

The doctor says he is a healthy 18 lbs., which leaves him at about 75% for weight. (he is also 75% for height.) He got three shots and something injectable into his mouth. Hmmmm...

He's rolling all over the place, which reminds us of Elizabeth; that was her mode of transportation. He's making more sound effect and getting louder. In fact, the other night in the car, I was driving home with all three of them, and they were all talking/humming/making sound effects. Whew! I do believe SamSam is going to hold his own with his very vocal sisters. Probably a good thing. :)

As for his photo shoot, well...feast your eyes on this!

A Quick Word

We've had a very fun and full summer so far.

We've visited with dear friends from out of town, traveled to Houston, gone swimming, had a cookout, tried new restaurants in town, celebrated Matt's birthday and Father's Day, and watched lots of softball games. :) It's been truly wonderful.

I've also been working on my photography and just took pictures for a sweet family last night. :)

In just a few weeks, we will get to see Matt's older brother and his family. They are coming in from Boston and will spend their 10 days or so in Houston with Matt's parents. We are pumped to see them, and the girls are excited to see their cousins. This will be the first time that Samuel will get to meet this side of his family. Precious!!

The only other big thing to say is that Samuel is now a proficient at rolling over. He almost immediately rolls over whenever we lay him on his floor gym, and he even prefers to sleep on his tummy than on his back.

He's also started solids this week!! Rice cereal was a hit and with no allergic reaction, so today we are on to avocado!! Yum. :)

I've got some pics I can share, so I'll put those on the next post. For now, feast your eyes on the new ones on the side bar to the right.

A Dance Recital, A 4 Month Old, and Some New Glasses

Well, so sorry for not updating. I did say I would only update on the weekends, but I didn't intend for you to wait this long. Sorry!

Perhaps after this post, you'll think it was well worth the wait. I've got LOTS of pics to share. We've been busy here for the past three weeks. Read on, my friends!!

Dance Recital

The weekend of May 1st, Elizabeth had her second recital. She was a lovely dancer!!


These are here sweet little classmates, and you can get a look at her full costume. So pretty, I think!



Elizabeth LOVES dancing and wants to keep taking classes. She is developing poise and grace and an understanding that her body is made to worship the LORD. Perfect!! (Siti and Ghido are BIG fans!!)



4 Months Old!

Last week, sweet SamSam turned 4 months old! We can hardly believe it. He is really beginning to show his personality as well as his love for his family, especially his sisters.



I know this is not a happy picture, but I LOVE the cheeks!








New Glasses

Yesterday was Mother's Day as you are well aware! :) We celebrated by dedicating Samuel to the LORD at church and then going out to lunch with Siti and Ghido. While at lunch, little hands found their way to some new glasses. Ghido was a good sport.



Future librarian or 7th grade English teacher? (ha!)



Naturally, Little Sister wanted a turn!

A Little Shout Out

Friends, are you in need of some new eyeglasses or even a fun case for your eyewear? Well, look no further. An old college friend has a great site where you can get great glasses and such. And you will feel very Posh in the process. Even if you don't need 'em, bookmark 'em for later. You never know, right?

P.S. Here are the super sweet ones my mother-in-law won in a recent giveaway!! Aren't they so posh? Love'em!!
