1st day of school

So, today was the first day of school. I have bittersweet feelings about sending them back. On one hand it will be nice to be back on a schedule and learning again. On the other hand I will miss them so much!! I have enjoyed spending so much time with them this summer. We have all had such a great time together.

On a lighter note, Little miss Mo and I will get to spend a ton of time together! She is my little shadow and we will have a ton of fun together. Today, she went with me to the salon and they painted her nails while she waited. She loved it, especially the flowers they put on them.

McKayla's newfound skill

McKayla has been enjoying practicing her new skill of blowing bubbles. Who knew bubblegum could be so entertaining?

Morgan is trying to follow in her big sisters footsteps. Keep practicing baby.

Locks of Love

Kamryn wanted to cut her hair shorter before going back to school. We decided that if she was going to cut off years of growing it out we didn't want it to just be thrown away. So, we decided to donate it to the Locks of Love. Locks of Love is an organization who makes hair pieces for children who have lost their hair due to illness. The minimum requirement is 10". So we cut off a little more than that. Here are pictures of the process.

AFTER


She really likes it, it turned out so cute! I am so proud of her for doing this. I am sure some child will be thrilled to get the hair she donated.

Dancing With Grandpa

My niece recently got married. At the reception the girls just adored dancing with their grandpa. I think he enjoyed it every bit as much as they did. These are precious moments I hope they remember always.

Jordan was quite the dance partner for Morgan also. He is such a good big brother.
