Emme's First Day of Preschool

Emme is in preschool! I still can't believe it when I say that and she has been going for a whole month now! Her first day was August 8th, she goes Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30 until 12:30. The first day was really hard on both of us I think, she has never been to daycare or had to be left really by me so she cried when I had to leave her which in turn made me bawl like a baby. I felt awful having to turn my back on her and leave. She cried for a few minutes and then off and on for some quick moments that first day the teacher said and then she had to ask about every 20 minutes about me coming back to pick her up. The second day she went to school went much better as far as not asking about me picking her up and she didn't cry in between activities. Every day we have gone has gotten better. She actually still cries when I drop her off even still but only for a minute and then she moves on to her tasks for the day. I know she loves school because she always says she wants to go back to school and has fun when I ask her. They do art day on Mondays and Yoga and pizza on Thursdays which I think is really fun for her. She just seems like such a big girl to me lately, where does the time go?

Our July Vacation

We took our vacation to Wisconsin in July this year, my cousin and very good friend both got married a week apart so it worked out perfectly for our visit. Other than being disguistingly hot and humid, we had a great time. There were a few days there where it was about 100 degrees with 90 some percent humidity that almost did us in, especially since my parents have no AC! But we made it through and the rest of the trip was luckily not as bad. The girls had a blast as usual, we got to go to the beach, hang at my parents house and my grandma's, visit some friends that we haven't seen in forever (which was looooong overdue!), and just do some relaxing.

A New Addition

Looks like we will be expecting a new addition for Christmas this year! This is actually old news but since I haven't blogged in FOREVER, I thought I would add some pictures of the newest Lilly on here. My due date is actually Christmas, December 25th and we couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to see the girls with the new baby. I'm 23 weeks right now. And we have opted not to find out the gender of the baby this time, the surprise will be lots of fun!
