Mia's first day of Preschool

Mia had a challenging first day of school. She did not want me leaving her! She has a couple of friends in her class, so I didn't think it would be an issue. Friday went a little bit better. Danny had gym the day I took this picture- I normally would never send him to school looking like this!In case there were any questions about what Danny was going to be for Halloween- he chose Commander Fox from Star Wars. Mia has been watching Alice in Wonderland lately, so she is going to be Alice. I am having a tough time finding an outfit for Reagan.

Kindergarten

Danny has started Kindergarten! He seems to be enjoying it. I don't get much from him as far as what they do all day. I hear about who was what Star Wars character on the playground and what everyone had for lunch. He has a few friends and a neighbor in his class, so we are all trying to piece it together. Mia will start preschool 3 days a week on Wednesday.

Here is a picture of Reagan. We haven't taken too many of her, but she is getting so big! She is probably up to 11 or 12 pounds by now.

Butterfly Festival

Cox Arboretum is a huge park that has a butterfly tent (house) that you can walk through. They have a few festivals throughout the year. This weekend was the butterfly festival, complete with festival food, crafts and music.

Kelly's visit

Here are a few pictures from when my sister and dad came to visit. Kelly and I took the girls to Wegerzyn Garden while my dad took the boys to the Air Force Museum.

Eddie and Danny went to tennis lessons.

Mia's favorites

The kids love getting mail! Today we had a few big packages on our porch (we've received a lot lately and I promise thank you cards are coming!). Aunt Pat sent this for Mia- it was Carolines first ballet recital outfit. Needless to say, Mia thinks it is the greatest thing on earth. I wish you could see the General Greivous Star Wars tattoo on her shoulder.

Kids

Just a few pictures of the kids. Reagan is doing well, she is a very easy baby so far. She still sleeps a lot. When she is awake, she is just looking around. This was Mia's first time holding her.
Danny is at a Star Wars camp this week. He is having a blast! They are using magnets to study "the force", and Mars because it is hot and volcanic like the star wars planet Mustafar. They take their lightsabers into the woods to hunt for ewoks and Jabba food (nuts and plants). I asked him what his teachers name was and he told me "I don't know, but it is spelled S-T-A-F-F". He is a funny kid!

More Reagan

We gave Mia a princess vanity for her birthday. She loves to pretend to put makeup on and do her hair.

These are some pictures of the kids with Reagan. It shows how little she is compared to the bigger two. Danny and Mia are doing so well with her. Danny told me, before he went to bed tonight, to make sure I sang Reagan songs and bundled her up. I promised him that I would take good care of her.
This is the outfit that we brought Reagan home in. Chris had to go buy something, since we didn't expect to have such a tiny little thing that needed to be bundled up. I think he did a great job!
