Abby's Open House

Today, Abby got to go see her new school, play in her classroom, and meet her teachers. She was very excited about the idea of going to school. When we got there all she wanted was the playground but we told her that we needed to meet her teachers first. She was shy when came to meeting them but instantly took to all the toys. Besides the toys, she loved the playground. I am hoping she will have a good time next Tuesday but I won't be surprised if a few tears are shed. I will have to hide mine from her.

Emma's 1st Day of School

Emma had her first day of preschool today. She was super excited to start school and had a fabulous day. She was excited to see her old friends and make some new ones. According to Emma her new best friend is Olivia. I will be curious to see how her social skills develop this year, since that is a goal of hers. We are so proud of her for jumping right in today and having a great day.

Before we left the house we had to take some pictures. This is her making a silly face b/c she was tired of me taking pictures.

My beautiful girl.

Abby needed to be in a picture. Not really sure what they were doing but they felt the need to squat.

At school and ready to go have fun.

I tempted an Instagram collage.

Hope this year goes slowly because I am not ready for Kindergarten.

Gearing Up

Emma had her open house on Thursday night and she is so excited to be back in school. She will have her same teachers from last year and few returning friends. Monday morning should be a great day for her!

This little lady is wanting to be in the same class as her big sister.

34 Weeks

Today I had my 34 week appointment. Nothing major going on. Baby is growing nicely and is on target. I on the other hand have not gained any weight since my last appointment. Not really sure how that is possible, especially considering all the dessert I eat. I think the best part of the appointment is how in my chart it is marked that I have "rapid labor." Hope this baby does not disappoint.

We are slowly but surely getting things ready for this baby. We just got a new car seat for the baby, thanks Gammie and Papa!! The Ergo and a stroller for the car seat have been ordered. I just need to get a boy and girl baby book and a going home outfit. I love the clothes shopping! Oh, and probably the most important thing is we need to have a name. We have the first names but just need a middle. Hard to believe how real this is getting.

Me and my 34 week bump.

Catalog Shopping

Someone enjoys flipping through the catalogs.

Biscuit Baking with Gammie

The girls love to spend time with Gammie and they especially love baking with her. She has great patiences for the task of teaching them how to bake.

The pretty in pink ladies.

Smelling the buttermilk.

Mixing it up.

Their favorite was cutting out the biscuits.

They sure did make some yummy biscuits.

Matching TOMS

I am so excited that Emma got her first pair of TOMS today. They are typically too wide for her feet. And oh course we had to get Abby a matching pair.

My Dancing Girls

Warning: This post has tons of photos and videos because I am a very proud mom and could not get enough of their cuteness.

The girls had their last summer dance class on Tuesday. They did a fabulous job this summer learning many new skills, steps, and positions. Abby went from sitting on the floor for the entire class to shining like a star that she is. Emma enhanced her abilities and loved showing us what she learned. We are sad to be leaving dance for the moment but look forward to more dance in our future.

Ta-da!

Next up is my other little tapper.

Some one loves to watch her older sister.

It's crazy that we have known all these girls in this picture since they were babies. 

Now for the videos. I am just so proud of them!
