First Day of School

The day has finally arrived! I think we were the last school in the country to start! Alli actually started last week on September 10th, but that still seems very late. Tori AND Katie started preschool today! For the first time as a mommy, I will have some time to myself three days a week. I'm not too excited about it because preschool, like kindergarten, is only two and a half hours long. I can not get too many things done in such a small amount of time. But I am very excited for the girls. They have been talking about going to school together for a few weeks now. All three girls seem to have very wonderful teachers.

My big second grader.

At the bus stop. Alli was sad when I told her that she will not be taking the bus when we move to Texas.

Tori's second and last year of preschool. She is really growing up too fast!

My baby! She was being a stinker this morning and would not smile for me.

But I caught her with a little smile!

Katie loves that Tori is at school with her. And what will I do when we move to Texas and they are in school for five hours! Now that sounds exciting!

In a few weeks, we will do this all over again. But that is a good thing! We will be moving back to Texas in just a few short weeks! We have a contract on the house and will close here on the 20th of October.

Playing With Our New Camera

For our 11th anniversary, (which is this Saturday!!) we decided to buy ourselves a better camera. We, and when I say we, I mean Pete, have been having fun playing around with it and are amazed at how great the pictures look. Alli had her first soccer practice tonight. I think Pete took about 450 pictures. I hope that I will actually take the time to learn how to use it....

Here are just a few of my favorites from the new camera.

Katie loves this little boy!

I love how the action shots come out!
