September 7 - Day 149


Preschool orientation for Little Miss Chloe.
Delighted for her to experience school,
afraid of how she will control (or not control) her temper,
and sad to think that another one of my babies is growing up way too fast!

September 6 - Day 148


Everytime I walk by the girls' room,
the sight of the light streaming in on this cute little corner
makes me happy!

September 5 - Day 147


Their favorite activity is going outside and spending the afternoon
catching grasshoppers with Daddy.
Even in her Sunday best, my little princess isn't afraid to play with bugs.

September 4 - Day 146


So fun to take pictures of my sweet cousin and her beautiful family today!

September 3 - Day 145


Pizza picnic!
A favorite event around here!

September 2 - Day 144


We told him that he would have to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels if
he wanted to go to Kindergarten (I know, I know, lying to your kids is terrible, blah blah blah).
Well, it worked, and now he can zip around the school parking lot like a pro!
Look at the determination in his face!

September 1 - Day 143


Fresh from our garden!

August 31 - Day 142


Back to school boys (with some sisterly support)!

August 30 - Day 141

My sweet little Kindergarten boy.
Where did the time go?
It seems like only moments ago,
I cuddled you close, relishing the fact that finally,
because of you, I was now a mother!
It seems like just moments ago,
Daddy and I filmed hours and hours of
footage of you batting at your musical piano
before you could even roll over.
And just moments ago, that great big smile and infectious laugh of yours
came from a sweet little roly poly baby boy.
You may be all grown up and off to school 5 days a week,
but you are still that little baby boy to me!

August 29 - Day 140


Kids off to dreamland, backpacks by the door, and clothes picked out and folded for the big day!

August 28 - Day 139


gregory family reunion
many many cute pictures from today,
but this one defines my morning better than anything I could tell you.
I promise when we left the house there were 2 matching shoes on her feet,
but after a very unccoperative morning from the big kids,
and 45 minutes of hearing her throw a tantrum about being in the car
(and throwing her shoes off to show that frustration)
I could not for the life of me find the 2nd shoe.
Luckily we had one stowaway shoe under the seat and it happened to be the right size.
Lest you think it was all bad...
good times were had once we caught up with daddy at the party,
and I decided that men golfing in the morning while the women pack up the car,
load the kids, and get everyone ready to meet up with said men...
not a great idea!

August 27 - Day 138


Movie night...
and this little monkey was climbing onto the back of the couch to her new perch
while daddy looked on in adoration.

August 26 - Day 137



We could safely call today
"finishing pettiskirts day"
Of course, none of those pettiskirts were for my little model.

August 25 - Day 136

Happy birthday to me...


the kids were checking out the showers...
"what do you think about this one Chloe?"
while I made up a new song at home depot...
"happy birthday to me,
got a new place to pee,
it goes in the bathroom
and it starts with a t."

And, because it's my birthday another picture for your enjoyment (and mine)

August 24 - Day 135

time for playing on the playground while waiting for a jump
