2nd Grade!

Monkey survived his first day of 2nd grade and is looking forward to the rest of the year! He only knew one other friend in his class so he may have to actually learn names this year (16 sections of 2nd graders!). I'm excited and nervous to see what he'll learn and how much he'll grow. Going to school is much harder on Mama than Monkey. 

Little Sister was happy to see her 'girl-frans' and boy friends at school again, too! She didn't want her mother to take her to school, but rather her daddy so she could watch the 'moo-move-it' (Madagascar movie).  She had a great day and talked non-stop (as usual) on the way to her Bubby. Big Girl loves a good conversation!

Good bye.

So long baby bed....

 This snuggly Big Girl has moved on up.....

 and doesn't miss her little girl 'cage.' 

Big Girl bedroom pictures coming soon!

Travelin'

Monkey and Big Girl spent their last two weeks of summer vacation with their Lovey and Papa in the great Mississippi. We missed them but knew this would be a summer neither would forget! They went to the Children's Museum, Mr. Bill's 'house' (his store), Kismets, the library, splash pads, shopping, playing, and running around the farm!

Monkey officially starts 2nd grade this week and Little Sister will re-join her friends at school. She is now speaking in full sentences and has become even more dramatic in her expressions and conversations. He is already planning his future business with his Papa-building furniture and selling it. Saving his money as he goes! 

We hope for another wonderful school year!
