 About to head in!

Oh where, oh where has my card reader gone?

I want to share pics of the kids' first week of school and Sawyer's party but I can't right now. Somehow I have lost my card reader. So it looks like I'm headed to Walmart at some point. Oh fun.
Anyway, we survived the first week of preschool! The boys got smiley faces every day which is great. They made some new friends. They learned how to spell 'red'. And no one cried! I'm really hoping that this week goes as smoothly. They seem excited about it and that makes me happy. And Sawyer is loving his alone time to play with their toys. I'll be back soon with some pictures!

Sawyer's 1st Birthday

Sawyer turned ONE on Tuesday. And on Saturday we had his first birthday party. (I'll get some pictures up as soon as I figure that one out). It was a Mickey Mouse themed party. He loves Mickey Mouse almost as much as he loves to "atch" or play ball. I think he had a great party. Almost everyone came and I think everyone had a good time. We had a little issue because all three boys had been running a fever all week. But I warned everyone beforehand and I don't think anyone has gotten sick. He got lots of great gifts and all the kids had fun. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Saw's birthday! I can't believe my baby is already 1!! Now that little man's party is over it's time to start planning the big boys' party in a couple of weeks!

A New Era

Today is August 1. August is a busy month for our family, and this particular August is no exception. We have Sawyer's 1st birthday, Sam and Owen's 4th birthdays, and my birthday. In addition to that, this month is my parents' 30th anniversary, my father in law's birthday...and on top of ALL of that, my big boys start preschool in 2 weeks! Ugh, I can't believe this day is here. Having my baby turn one and my big boys start school within a week is just unbelievable. It's going to be a big change for them. And for me. I'm so used to having the kids here and just doing what we want to do pretty much when we want to do it, it's going to take some adjusting. So far the kids seem excited, even though they are going to have different teachers. I don't think they quite understand what that means yet! Tomorrow night we have open house, eek! I'll let you know how that goes!
