Picture-less Post

Well I have taken no pictures so this post is picture-less.  I figured you needed a warning in case you wanted to skip it altogether, so I put it in the title.  We all went out to eat with Anna and Aaron Tuesday night at Sushi Cafe and then walked down the road to grab some frozen yogurt.  It was a fun time and Savannah talked about Anna and Aa-dun the rest of the night. They obviously made a fun impression.  They also brought her a back-to-school present that went along perfectly with my post yesterday! Sparkly green TOMS! Savannah is a shoe girl so she was giddy to open them up and put them on immediately in the yogurt shop.  Anna, why did we totally forget to snap any pictures?!

Anyway, hope I remember to take some pictures tomorrow! Happy Wednesday!

Birthday Wishes and First Day Recap

First off, I failed to wish Aunt Jen a happy birthday yesterday! In all the weekend busyness and getting ready for the first day, I blogged early and missed putting your birthday wishes on the blog! We hope you had a great day and hope to see you guys soon!

Second, whoever of you said a little prayer must have a direct line to the Man upstairs because Savannah had a fabulous first day in her new class with her new teacher and new friends.  This class has 6 kids in it, 2 new ones from the last class she was in.  She just walked right in and started playing and said "bye mama" and waved behind her back.  I of course stayed in for a few minutes for my own heart to see she was ok, and then snapped a quick picture with her new teacher, Ms. Edie, and then left! It went so well! Let's hope and pray tomorrow is just as great!  At my after-school program, we also couldn't have asked for a better first day! All my kiddos were so excited to come and I was thrilled to see them and hear about the first day.  It was so fun! I love my job, getting to see everyone's new school supplies, backpacks, first day outfits, new shoes (everyone gets new tennis shoes for back-to-school it seems) and hear about how the teachers are, who's in what class, and so on.  So Fun.

Here are some first day pictures:

We are so excited to have Ms. Edie, who has been at Savannah's school longer than any other teacher, teaching Savannah's age group for over 24 years.  We are so lucky!

See ya tomorrow!

Just Pictures, Mostly

With school starting today, my work is crazy so I'll just put up some fun pictures! Happy Monday!

Last Day with Ms. Keba for summer session! 

Last day party with her BFF, Charlee. :)

I'll post some pics of Savannah tomorrow with her first day in her new class and new teacher for the fall! Say a little prayer she has a great day.  Of course, I am nervous for her but I'm sure she'll be fine.

CC Day 1 Highlights

Savannah and CC had a great time today! Not a ton of pictures to share but that's probably because Savannah kept CC so busy with tea dates and books to read! They also managed to squeeze in chalkboard fun, outside play, bubbles, 2 meals and about 236 snacks, a 2 1/2 hour nap (!!), and I'm sure I forgot something!

Oh the sweetness of a sleeping baby!

Fire Trucks!

We live very near a fire station so we hear fire trucks going by almost every day.  Savannah LOVES them!  She calls them dire tucks.  Anyway we were heading to go grocery shopping and a local restaurant was smoking and it only took a second and we heard the sirens! She got SO excited and was yelling, "dire tucks! dire tucks!" so we sat in the parking lot and waited for them and then watched the firemen for a minute before going to the store.  Savannah thought it was great obviously. :)

CC is here for the next three days and we are SO excited! Savannah's daycare is closed until next Monday to get everything ship-shape for the new school year and Savannah can hardly contain her excitement to play with CC. The main things she wants to do with CC are "books" and "tea" as she keeps saying, "CC, books!" "CC, tea!".  Get ready CC. :)

I'm sure I'll have some pictures from their daily adventures to post :)

Nothing Much Going On

We had a busy weekend.  7-hour power outage in the middle of the day.  Moving an entire room of furniture to another room. Waiting for baby brother's furniture to be delivered. 4 hours after it was supposed to be.  Sending baby brother's furniture back because it came in wrong.  Running errands 3 hours past Savannah's nap.  Getting Anna and Aaron to help move other furniture from the spare room to the garage, awaiting being moved to Searcy or sold, depending on the piece.  Church.  Dinner and also lunch with friends. (!!) Dinner for Savannah's great-granddaddy Poppy's birthday. (!!)  Maybe that's why I suffered 2 migraines in 3 days.  Which take me a minimum of 2 hours to get over each time.  So there aren't a lot of pictures.   But I am still thankful for my little family of 3 (or 4, when do I get to say 4?) and all our many blessings.

2 of my friends from college and I have babies (toddlers) that are 20 days apart or so and we go out for lunch every so often.  Baby C wasn't so into getting her pic taken so the middle chair is empty but we had a great time!

Savannah was purposefully pulling my hair to get my attention so I pulled her hair right back.  That stopped it.  

comparing teeth. :)

I went to get my toenails redone (I cannot reach mine with any level of comfort or breathing) and Birc and Savannah came along so Savannah could get hers painted too! She has "puh-ple toes!"

She held SO STILL and was so interested in every little thing.  Girly girl!

Cutest. Kid. On. The. Planet

Seriously.  Y'all.  She is so adorable! Scroll on down for proof.

Savannah had a little mishap on Sunday at church that involved a couch, and chipped her bottom right second tooth.  She hasn't been sleeping quite as well the past few days, and her appetite seemed smaller (both of which kind of go in waves normally anyway).  BUT, we were nervous it could have to do with her tooth so we went to the dentist to get it checked out.  Her dentist office has such fun toys and equipment in the waiting room! She was so excited to be there once she saw the fun she could have!

She did SO WELL with her dentist.  Not a tear while he was looking at her teeth.  She just said "Ahh" and showed him all her teeth and let him touch them and wiggle the one she chipped, as well as use some "tools" to look around the rest of her mouth for any trauma. She did awesome! I was so proud, and also jealous that she could like the dentist that much! I am just now getting to where I don't cry every time I go get my teeth cleaned and I'm almost 30.

Oh, and in case you were curious:  Savannah's teeth were all fine and the chipped one should be just fine, he suggested softer foods for about a week as it may hurt to bite with it.  YAY!
