Apple time

A few weekends ago, we took the girls apple-picking for the first time!  It was a really fun day!!!

My 3 little apples


Last picture with all her baby teeth!  She lost her 1st tooth on the car ride home.

So much fun

She ate A LOT of apples

Super Dad!!!!  It also really helps to have someone tall to get the good apples up top!

(I'm very annoyed cause I have great pics from Lucy's Bday that won't download...I'm trying!)

Wedding Bells Will Be Ringing!!!!

Congratulations to my little sister Katie and my soon-to-be brother in law, Vern, on their recent engagement!  Thanks Vern for involving us in the day!!!

After the engagement and dinner, they went out for drinks at the Charleston and we were all there!  It was so much fun...especially the photo booth!  

We can't wait for the wedding next year in South Carolina!!!!  It will be a great celebration!!!!!!

We love you both.  Congratulations!!!!!


Caitlin's 1st Day of Preschool

Caitlin started 3 year old preschool this year!!!!  And she has the best teacher....me! We aren't exactly sure how Caitlin having her mommy as a teacher is going to go, but we are giving it a try!

Her teacher says that she is a very sweet, caring, and smart student! 

She goes 3 full days a week which is a little bit of an adjustment because she doesn't usually fall asleep during nap time at school, but the 2 days she goes to the sitter, she takes LONG naps without even being told to!

Caitlin had made a lot of great friends already who she will be in school with for the next 11 years...pretty cool!!!

Caitlin is the most excited for her 1st field trip on a real school bus and to go to after-school care when mommy has a meeting!

It's pretty neat to watch C interact with friends, eat lunch at school, make projects, and all the other things that moms usually don't see at school!!!!

We are all looking forward to a great school year...and can't wait for parent/teacher conferences! :)

Twinkle Twinkle

Libby loves the song Twinkle Twinkle.  I know most kids love it, but she LOOOVES it!  Tonight after bath and bottle, I was singing it to her.  Every time I said "Twinkle Twinkle" she would make this sound "twinkle twinkle" (with less w and l of course).  It was crazy...she must have done it 20 times.  Of course I called rob up and as soon as he was listening, she stopped.  But I'm calling it...her 1st word is twinkle!  She's definitely a little star in our family and lights up our lives do it's appropriate and perfect!

In other news, she's 9 months today!  3/4th of a year gone!  Crazy!  Tonight the whole family was having so much fun playing with her.  She's crawl so fast away and then we would catch her and tickle her and she was cracking up...full belly laughs!  

Here is my little star in her new apple pjs in honor of her teacher mommy!

In other exciting news, Abigail had her 1st soccer game.  She's not loving soccer but is trying it one more time.  So of course this weekend she was in goal...and a kid FIRED a shot and it hit her right in her face!  The whole crowd was silent and then was like "owwww".  I am shocked, but she didn't cry!  Rob was helping coach and was right there to keep her calm!  I'm telling you...any boy on her team would have been on the ground crying cause it was a hard shot!  Maybe she's tougher than we think...and her team won 1-0 because of her face block!  Still doesn't like soccer (sad sad face) but is proud of herself!!!  So are we!!!  And thanks Auntie Stina for coming to her game! 

Big week for Caitlin.  She has "meet the teacher" at her new school!  I'm pretty sure she's going to LOVE her teacher...I hear she's beautiful, amazing, and the best teacher in the school!!!!  She will also meet the kids she will most likely go to school with for the next 11 years!  Big day!
