Wow! You look older!!!

And no...this post is not about my birthday and ME looking older!! (Well, I can mention that my birthday was on Friday, and that my family made it a wonderful birthday by fixing my favorite dinner, a baking gorgeous cake decorated by Hannah, and giving me awesome gifts!) No...this post is about this picture of Eli! I took it this morning before church because I thought he looked so cute in his little dress-up clothes. When I looked at the picture on the computer, I was completely amazed at how much older he looked!!! Almost like a little boy rather than a toddler! So, enjoy this picture of my adorable little man!

A Trip to Missouri

It's been a while since I posted on here, hasn't it? Sorry 'bout the delay in posting again. Hannah has really been enjoying Kindergarten! She has been riding the bus every day, she has bought school lunch, she loves her teacher, she's made friends...everything is going just great! This past weekend, we all took a trip down to Missouri to spend the weekend with my grandparents (Mom's parents)--AKA Nannie and Paw Paw. While there, we also went to a Mizzou football game and watched them beat Furman 52-12! The kids loved spending time with their great-grandparents, and we all had so much fun being together, even though it was for such a short time! I am so excited that fall is now upon us--so many fun things to look forward to! Trips to pick apples and to the pumpkin farm, watching the leaves change, Halloween, Thanksgiving...it's all so wonderful--my favorite season! I will try to post more often! Until then... enjoy the pictures! (The ones at the top of the post are from our drive home from Missouri--the rainbow was gorgeous, and really couldn't be captured in a picture. It was the brightest rainbow we had ever seen!)

The First Day of Kindergarten!

Well, it has happened! Hannah has gone off to her first day of Kindergarten! The bus arrived at 7:47 AM on Thursday morning, and a somewhat nervous but very excited Hannah climbed on board! I had no idea how hard it would be for me so see my baby ride away on that bus! But as she arrived back home, she came running off the bus, gave me a huge hug, and told me "I had so much fun!" She proceeded to tell us all about her day at school, and can't wait to go back! She even made a friend who is in her class and rides her bus! I'm so proud of my big girl!
