Girls and Boy

We've been lucky enough to have dinner with the Bradley's semi-frequently.  Here is a photo of the kids when we put a video on for them at the end of the night.  We thought it was hilarious how the girls all pile up on one couch together, and Will decided to take the big chair all by himself.  

Special Person Day - Grandma Sharon's Visit

Grace and Evelyn celebrated special person's day at school.  We invited Grandma Sharon to come down for a visit and attend this event.  The girls were so proud to have Grandma at school.  Sharon also got to drop Clara off at school with me, and we took Grace and Ev to lunch after their early dismissal.  We are so thankful for Grandma's visit.  First for special person day and also because Nate was out of town.  We loved having her here to keep us company and, as always, we were sad to have her go.  

Fall Festival

We are making an effort to attend more church activities since we are settled and hoping to be here for a very very long long time.  Our first big event was the Fall Festival.  This event was put on beautifully.  They had a bunch of bounce houses for the kids, delicious food, beer, spray tattoos, raffles and dancing.  Grace and Evelyn loved it and loved seeing their friends out in a fun atmosphere.  

Nate and I were impressed by the event and thrilled with the new parish and school!

Will and Mommy's days out

Will and I have been doing some shopping.  I'm having quite a bit of fun one-on-one with him.  I am amazed by his LOVE of trucks and all things construction.  It is a fun change from all of the princesses and Dora.  He's a wild little boy in the stores, but has been a trooper.  Thank goodness for videos on my phone to help me get things done while keeping him occupied.  I just love this little boy!

Clara's First Day of Preschool

This girl is sooooo excited to go to school!!  She is pumped.  She's been counting down the days.  I wasn't worried about her at all.  She marched right in and started playing.  When it was time to pick her up, she ran right out, smiling from ear to ear.  She really is so independent for a little 2 1/2 year old.  I forget how young she is all the time.  She's got a temper, with a very sweet side.
