Liam's First Day of Preschool

We have been talking about school for a few months now, and this boy was so ready to go. He would tell us about his Spiderman backpack, and his lunch pail. He would talk with Emma, about how he and Daddy would be going to school, but she would have to stay with Mom.

The day arrived yesterday, and to my surprise he was totally calm about everything. He woke up, had a nice breakfast, ate well for lunch too, and kept asking us when he would be going. As we loaded up the bike trailer, and got ready, he was so excited! We got there, and he was as happy as could be. He wasnt nervous, didnt have to hold our hands because he was shy, and he started right in with reading books. Of course I was trying to be tough, and waited to have a moment when we left. When we picked him up, he looked exhausted, but had a fantastic time. The teachers explained that he was the big helper, as many of the kids didnt want to help clean up, Liam was right there helping. They also mentioned that he ate quite a bit for snacks- I promise I fed him a lot before we left. On our ride home, he took a short nap, and then told me the many wonderful things he did. I loved it! We are so excited for him, and he is so excited! Here are a couple of pictures from the new adventure...

Family

I absolutely love this picture....

these three make me so happy, and the two little ones absolutely love their Dad! Cant you tell?

Today we had Faith & Jesse over for a Labor Day BBQ, and had a great time. We asked Faith to take a picture of us (we needed one for our ward directory, and Liam's school). The kids were not too interested in having a photo, rather they wanted to play! They were pretty excited to have Faith & Jesse! Here is what we got with a little cropping help...


Thanks for coming over Faith and Jesse! We had fun!

love to talk on the phone

It has taken Emma a while to warm up to everyone...she has found that Grandma has some great electronics, and they are both having a great conversation here. Grandma called her cell phone from her home phone, and Emma has answered! So funny and cute!
