Godspeed Uncle Randy

Our dear Uncle Randy left this morning for Iraq for his second tour of duty and will be gone for a year. We are very proud of him for wanting to serve his country. We hope that he has a safe return and we will miss him very much.

Remember.....

This morning I was remembering where I was and what I was doing on September 11, 2001. I remembered how scared, sad, angry, nervous I was. I pray that never again innocent lives will be harmed on American soil again like they were that terrible morning. We were very fortunate that no family or friends left us that day, but there are many that were and for that my heart aches for their loss.

Not much to say.....

Okay so since school has started it seems that everything revolves around that. The girls and I are busy everyday. Izzy has school Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday, Wednesday Izzy has ballet, and Raena takes a class on Thursday. We meet for playgroup on Fridays. The weeks are starting to blur together! Hopefully soon I'll have something more interesting to post about!

I'm as giddy as a school girl...

I haven't been this excited about getting a book in the mail for a long time. The Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer has got its fangs in me. In 3 days I read the first 2 books, Twilight & New Moon, which means I got a little sleep deprived. I'm praying my UPS man will be early and deliver the next 2 books, Eclipse & Breaking Dawn, by Raena's nap.

Izzy was quite giddy this morning as well. She started her new ballet/ tap class and is having fun meeting new friends.

Thanks Auntie Wendy...

Auntie Wendy loves to spoil her nieces on our most recent trip to their house we came home with a loot of stuff including this horse that talks and sings. Unfortunately I already dislike the song, please let the batteries die soon! (just kidding).

Raena's Birthday Party

Today we had Raena's birthday party with our playgroup friends. We had tons of fun playing, decorating wood butterflies, and making a butterfly with pipe cleaners and coffee filters. Here are a few pictures.

Raena's 1st Day of School

Thursday was Raena's first day of school with Miss Rachel. She did wonderful and had lots of fun.
