Guess What I Have...

New Pictures of Owen!

I have been looking at them for hours now.  Just studying every little thing about him.  Trying to glean something about his personality from them.    Can I just say "man my baby is CUTE!"
 I will have to wait for the report.  My agency is still having it translated.  Why didn't I learn to read Chinese?

Iris's room

I just realized that I forgot  to post pictures of Iris' room.  So here it is.  I guess I forgot what with all the back to school stuff. 

 Iris kept changing her mind on what color she wanted to do her room in.  So mom made the decision to just do it like her old room since we already had all the stuff.  She can change it when she is older if she wants to.

Kindergarten here I come

 It came, the dreaded first day of school.  Elliot started Kindergarten and Ansley started 4th grade.  Miss Thing actually started last week. 

As you can see Elliot was very excited. He even asked me to "fix his hair with the smell good stuff" How could I refuse him. I don't know if the school will appreciate the new look. They frown on Mohawk's. But hey, my baby wanted to look good.

Our sassy little 4th grader showing off her bag, not a back pack. She is getting too big, someone stop her. 

Miss Thing had to get in the picture taking too.  The "bat pat" is as big as she is.

Elliot at his locker. Be still my heart

Getting a big hug from Mrs. Dodd.  Elliot is not crazy about hugs.

This picture really makes my heart hurt.  I am not ready for my little man to be gone all day.

I didn't get any pictures of Ansley in her class.  The 4th grade started 5 minutes before the bell rang.  I guess I will have to get that picture tomorrow. 

A, E, & I, I hope you all have a great day at school today.  I don't know what I am going to do at home all alone.  Good thing Owen will be home soon.

Off to school I go

 Iris started school on the 9th.  She will be attending school all day.  So once the older kids get back in school I will have 2 whole days to myself.  What ever will I do?

 She is so excited to be going to school.  She has a back pack and lunch box just like the big kids. 

I hope the preschool is ready to all Iris' activity.  They already informed me that she would not take a nap.  In fact she told the teacher that "you can just take me home now, cuz I don't need to nap"  Well no worries about her being shy. 

Elliot's room in now done!

 Well all the wall paper has been removed.  So long gone are the lovely green flowers that graced Elliot's walls.  Now in its place is a lovely shade of blue with glow in the dark stars and moons on the celling.  Hey we wanted Star Wars and Mario so we settled on a blue walls with stars.  Sorry Mario.

What have we been up to?

This is Ansley's room before we moved in. Why would you show a house and not at least make your beds? I guess I didn't take any pictures of the "ugly". It had bad wallpaper every where! So after removing the wallpaper and fixing the walls, painting, and decorating. It is now a room fit for a little Paris loving princess.

This is her room now.

We still have a little decorating left to do, but she is happy now. If Ansley is happy then her momma is happy. Now on to Elliot's room. One room down 17 more to go. There is wallpaper in all of them. Fun fun fun.
