1st Day of School

The girls went back to school today. They were both nervous, Gabi's in 1st grade & Kayla's a Freshman. They looked beautiful, Gabi was decked out in Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana necklace, outfit, & backpack. Gabi's tattoo is courtesy of Julien. I can't wait to hear how their day went.

Rick & Amy

Two of my Pharmacists at work became parents last week. This is Hannah Ruth, she was born on July 30th @ 12:04 pm. She weighed in at 9 pounds 15.6 ounces and was 21 and 1/2 inches long. Mom & baby are both doing well! Congratulations Rick & Amy on your new addition.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY....

Okay, so it's just Lions! Gabi wanted me to take pics of her lion slippers, her lion pillow, & her blanket that goes with her pillow. Not quite sure how the monkey came into play. What a cutie!

Sleeping Beauty

I took Kayla with me to Jenn's to help out with Addie on Monday. I wanted to feel like I was getting my money's worth from her babysitting classes this summer. She changed several wet diapers but let me change the dirty one. She also got Addie dressed, her Mother informed us her shirt was on backwards (sorry Jenn).

Kayla is just like me; we don't get to see Addie and Julien as often as we like, so when Addie goes down for a nap it's in our arms, not in her bed. (Don't tell my little sister)

Thank you Kayla for helping out.

Finals....

I have my final in Speech today, English tomorrow, & Math Saturday. After Saturday I'll have three weeks off before the next semester starts. I'm doing well & don't expect any of the finals to be a problem, I'll just be glad when they're behind me.

Sweet Baby Girl

Addie is scheduled for an MRI at Children's this morning. Please pray for her and her Mom & Dad. She has to be put to sleep, her test is scheduled for 9. Addie is like the rest of the family, she likes to eat, she's not going to be happy about breakfast being postponed. We love you baby girl.

FRESHMAN Orientation

I took Kayla & her BFF Jeanie to Freshman Orientation Monday night. I think it was pretty overwhelming for both of them. It's a big change from Middle School. Kayla's classes are pretty much in the same vicinity, Jeanie on the other hand has to go from one side of the school to the other when changing classes. I can't believe these girls are 14, let alone that they're starting High School. A lot has changed there since I graduated 17 years ago, the school is bigger & OLDER. I'm sure they'll do fine. They'll be pros in a few weeks. Good Luck Girls!!

Kayla, Gabi, Addie & Trey

Addie & Trey

Today the girls & I had the opportunity to hang out with Addie again. Our friends Haley & Trey came over for a while. Here's Kayla with her hands full & a pic of the four of them together. It was a fun visit. Trey is a typical boy, like a ping pong ball, all over the place. It was fun watching him get into everything. Addie enjoyed the visit and was ready for lunch and a nap after Trey went home to do the same. Thank you Haley for bringing him over.

18 month pics...

Here are a few shots from Addie's 18 month pics. One of Sweet Girl with her beautiful "MaMa". They decided not to have family pics made but this is a silly shot of the four of them. Once again, hats off to Kim. http://www.sharitphotos.blogspot.com/
