Carly Goes to Preschool

Carly started preschool a couple of weeks ago. It's only on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 - 11:30. It's perfect for her and she loves it.

1st day of preschool

Her Dora backpack

Today was Donuts with Dad! She was so excited to take her Papa to preschool. This is his first time seeing her new school. Hope you two had a fun, sugar-filled morning!!

School Picture Day

Leah wanted curls for picture day today. What a beautiful girl we are blessed with!

Monkey see, Monkey do

If you want curls, I want them too!

Our cute Carly-girl!

1st Grade

Leah started 1st Grade today! Hard to believe that she will be in school all day, every day now. It helps that we love, love, love her new teacher!!

However, Carly is already having Sister withdrawal. This is her just moments after leaving Leah at school. Good thing she starts preschool in a couple of weeks!

She's my little Minnie Mouse...

Way back in June, Leah had her dance recital. A cute little jazz routine to "Minnie's YooHoo". Here's our little Minnie Mouse.

I am so pround of you my little dancer! May you always dance freely like no one is watching!

Recent Conversation...

Here's the conversation between sisters at the doctor's office.

Mama: Leah, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Leah: I'm not sure. (It used to be a doctor, a baby doctor, and that is just what Carly said she wanted to be right before I asked Leah.)

Carly: A clowoon?

(family is laughing)

Leah: No! I don't want to be a clown. (with slight attitude)

Carly: A horse? You wanna be a horse?

(more laughing)

Carly: A clown horse?

Carly is our very funny child and she draws out all her vowel sounds. Definitely some southern roots in that girl. It was quite a humorous conversation between a 6-year old and a 2-year old.

Land of a Thousand Questions

I forgot how questioning a 2-year old can be. Here are some questions I hear multiple times a day...

What's that noise?
Who's there?
Where's my sister?
Can I watch Dora? (or Dragon Tales - that's her new favorite)
Can I do play-doh?
Can I wear a swimsuit? (her clothing of choice)
Can I do that?
Can I ride my big girl bike?
Can I do my scooter?
Can we read that (book) again? (and again, and again, and again)

Leah has even bigger questions.

How big is God?
If God created everything, who created God?

I think I'll take the 2-year old questions please!

Breaking the Silence...

I have not meant to be so absent from the blog for this long. We have been in a state of transition and I may write about that in another post. But for now, I'll leave you with a couple pictures from our Fancy Nancy story time at the library. It was a marvelous time! And my girls had an extraordinary time getting fancy.
