Time with Daddy

I know that the quality of these pictures aren't the greatest but what they stand for is beyond words.  Callie Grace asked her dad to read some to her from the bible last night.  When Callie Grace was a baby, her mimi and papa gave her a Precious Moments bible and she loves it!

I didn't want to interrupt their special time so I snapped this picture without them even knowing.

Caleb wanted nothing to do with any pictures so his dad proceeded to tickle him all over.  I LOVE Caleb's expressions!

What a week...

What a week we have in store for us!

Tuesday night - Teacher Meet and Greet, 6pm
Wednesday - CG goes to school from 8-10:15am (Parent meeting 8-8:15am)
Thursday - the BIGGG day
Friday -  my sister's belated birthday dinner at my brother's house

My friend, Jamie teaches at the school that Callie Grace will be attending.  I know that I am driving her crazy with all of my questions.  Her daughter, Ainsley took Callie Grace on a tour of the school on Saturday afternoon.  Callie Grace really enjoyed it and can't wait for her first day of school.

I, however feel all over the place with my emotions.  I am excited, emotional and just plain scared.  I am not letting CG know how I feel.  I want her to enjoy this momentous time in her life.  But, to be honest, I just want to hang on to my baby.  I want to shelter and protect her.  I guess this is all part of the growing up process. 

I have been praying for God's protection over her.  I pray that God will bless her with sweet friends and great teachers.  I pray that Callie Grace will be a good listener and eager to learn.  I pray that she will be a good friend to others.

A few pictures from the weekend...

We went to K-mart on Friday afternoon.  I let the children ride this dirty old carousel.  I remember riding the K-mart carousel when I was child so when they asked, I said sure... (no illness to report as of today!)

These two love each other sooo much!

After the tour on Saturday, Jamie treated the girls to ice cream at Chick-fil-A!

Back to School Night at Bogarts

We enjoyed a family fun evening at Bogarts last night.  They had a lady that was face painting and making balloons for the children.  Children ate free which was a nice bonus!  I took a few pictures of the Callie Grace and Caleb with their pretty painted faces.

Caleb sat nice and still for his face painting!

Callie Grace and her new friend, Emma.  We were excited to see her at the restaurant!

BC Bearcats Go Go!

Callie Grace really enjoyed bearkitten cheerleading camp last week.  We were able to get a few pictures of her in action.

This one is blurry but I love seeing her give her daddy a kiss!

I needed to hear that...

Every morning, I call Kip and the children to tell them good morning since they are normally still asleep when I leave for work.  When I spoke with Caleb this morning, he said, "mom, I have to tell you something important.  I love you very much".  I love you, Caleb - more than you can ever imagine.

I snapped a few pictures of the children after bathtime last night.

Guess what came in the mail yesterday...

Callie Grace's book bag!

We were all excited.  Callie Grace wanted me to take a picture of her right away.  15 more days until she starts school.  She is so ready.  I get all anxious just thinking about it but not her!  We go for her assessment this afternoon.  I think we may find out today or tomorrow which teacher she will have for kindergarten.

With all of this talk about school, Caleb is ready to start too!  He doesn't start until September 7th.  He will go 3 days a week from 9-12pm.  We have his Open House at the end of the month.  I am excited for him.  He is such a little sponge. 

Cabugs right after dinner/before bath!

This weekend

Caleb spent the night with Moira on Friday night.  He loves being with her and had a great time!  I took a few pictures of CG and Caleb at church on Sunday.  

Doesn't he look like a little angel in this picture?  Pictures can definitely be deceiving!!
