Emmie's First Day of School

Emmie decided she would start school a day late after she came down with a fever virus. School officially started on a Thursday, but she wasn't able to go until the following Tuesday. She has been twice now and is not really excited about the whole concept. She basically is happy if her teachers are holding her, but that is about it. When I went to pick her up on her first day, her face was all splotchy and red. She had been crying so much that she was doing that "catch my breath" breathing that babies do after a meltdown. It was pitiful!
We will see how she does....I am totally willing to pull her out if she isn't any happier. Mrs. Sylvia, Emmie's teacher, had Lainie as well. She has said that Emmie is definitely happier than Lainie ever was. I will admit, that makes me feel a bit guilty and sad for my Lainie Bug! I never realized that she was that unhappy in her nursery class. I knew she cried, but I never thought she was more unhappy that Emmie is. Bless her!
Here are a few pics of Little Bit before her big day. Sweet girl is SO happy in these pics....she had no idea what she was in for! :)

Lainie's First Day of School

We have officially started back to school around here. Lainie is now in 3-year old preschool and has Mrs. Beth and Mrs. Tricia for her teachers. I can not say enough about these sweet women who teach her two days a week. They are awesome!! Lainie already seems to love school and talks about what she does throughout the day. I know she will learn so much this year and also have lots of fun in the process. Here are pictures of her on her first day of 3-year old preschool!

Emmie's 1 Year Pics (Round 1)

I am going to have to split Emmie's one year pics into two different blog posts. There were so many cute ones! Here is the first round....the next round will involve cake! :)

Can She Really Be Three?

My sweet girl.....how is she already three years old? Keri took these precious pictures of Bug when we went for Emmie's one year pictures. She got some great shots considering that Little Miss was not exactly pleasant in her studio! For some reason, Lainie does not like the camera. She finally came around at the very end and decided to be sweet for a brief second. Poor Keri.....I would love for her to be around Lainie outside of her studio. She definitely has not met the sweet girl I know and love! However, she always seems to work her magic and get some great shots! :)

Lainie's 3rd Birthday

One of Lainie's very favorite things to do right now is "go see the animals!" She loves the zoo!! Because of this, we thought it would be really fun to celebrate her birthday at the zoo. Boy, did we ever luck out with some beautiful weather! It was in the 70's on her birthday, which could not have been more perfect! We had such a great time.

This was the first year that Lainie really was old enough to pick out her cake. I promised her that we would go look at cakes and she could get whatever she wanted. I thought she would definitely pick a Mickey Mouse cake, but she surprised me! She picked a "Sesame Street" cake (as she called it) instead.

So, here are pictures from Lainie's Zoo/Sesame Street party! I guess the characters on Sesame Street could be "animals!" Once again, I just did a video since there were so many pictures taken.

This Can't Be Just For Lainie's Birthday!

Whenever the girls get a package in the mail, our animals think there is something in the box for them! Here are pics of Lainie Bug opening some birthday surprises that came in the mail. Notice Riley and Spook eagerly waiting for their surprise too!
