My conversation this morning

At breakfast this morning Elizabeth asked me what was wrong. I replied "I'm tired." She said "No you're not, you just had a long nap last night."

Her new "golf" hat

Elizabeth and I went shopping yesterday at Gymboree and she fell in love with this "golf hat" (her words). After seeing it on her, there was no way I could leave the store without buying it for her. I even had to buy a few new outfits to match her hat. Sometimes having a girl can get expensive!!!

Home...

 After 9 days away, it was so nice to see this smiling face

And to come home to these beautiful roses that Jack bought me. How I missed my loves! Will post some pictures soon of my trip, still fighting jet lag!

Another favorite

We went to Rochester for my sister's surprise birthday party this past weekend. Elizabeth discovered another new favorite thing, chocolate covered strawberries. I guess no one can resist giving a cute girl in pigtails chocolate!

Ready?

We have taken the supplies to school. He has a new back pack and lunch box. We met his teacher and he knows where his classroom is and what bus to ride. I know he is ready for kindergarten. But, is this mama ready for her baby to be gone all day? 8 hours is such a long time. I am going to miss all his questions, miss hearing "Hey Mommy" 1000 times a day, miss the random hugs and kisses and hearing "you rock mommy" when I do something totally cool, and I will definitely miss my favorite checkers partner. 5 years seems like such a long time when they are tiny babies. In reality, it goes by all too fast. Sure, I am excited for him to go and I can't wait to hear about his days, his new friends, and all he has learned. I am just not sure I am ready to watch the yellow bus take my first born to school in the morning. I know I will be standing at the curb wiping the tears as the bus leaves my sight. If the last 5 years have gone this fast then surely the next 12 will go even faster, and then I will be wiping the tears as I send him off to college.

The lone Packer fan

He is the only one in our family that is a true Packer fan. We surprised him on Thursday night with tickets to the Packers/Colts game. He went with Matt and had a great time. At least he won't get picked on in school for not wearing green!

Sand table

She loves playing in the sand (and her momma hates to clean it up!)
