A surprise visit from “Kay”

Natalie’s BFF stopped by tonight. She ran to the door with open arms. In hopes of influencing Natalie’s willingness to wear her Halloween consume, I asked kaila to put on giraffe ears too!

Don’t be mistaken. My adorable smile is due to Kaila – not this costume!

To infinity and beyond!!!

Please note Edmond in the back. When I asked Natalie her favorite part of the day, she said “Edmond”. He seems like a nice boy but hasn’t passed the Daddy test yet.

Morning with Mama

I was able to go into work a few
Hours late today. We were inspired by last night’s story, Curious George makes Pancakes….

20121018-211204.jpg

Yeah! Carbs carbs and more carbs!

Dada, back away. There is no way you are getting any of my pancake!

Ps. The other morning, I heard Natalie say a full sentence: I want to see Mama! Impressive language skills – and I love the content! 🙂

Pumpkin patch at the farm zoo

This one seems to be my size!

Boy, it’s heavier than is looks. What is in here anyways?

20121015-212840.jpg

Why, this is a cat, of course!

Thanks, Dado, for picking us up since
It was raining so hard. My pumpkin stayed nice and dry.

Let’s get another one!

My little cousin loves apples too!

Trevor likes to be just like me. When he saw me eating an apple, he wanted to too. Two apples! (PS Two is one of my favorite words)

Finally, the first day of school!!!

Natalie finally had her first day of “preschool” (only 4 weeks and 2 days late… thank goodness for Nana, Pop, and Noreen, a SAHM from church!)

I like this backpack! (P.S. If you're wondering what's in it... Mousey, diapers and panda water bottle)

 

Gotta grab a quick frappacino before class!

Natalie has had a chance to play at school a couple times, so when I strolled her down the ramp, she let out a “yeah”!  (Not quite as good as the one when approach a favorite park, but maybe that’s to come.)  She was very eager to get to class and dove into playing right away.

Mama, would you like a morning tea with some pepper in it?

Thanks for us, she did give us both a hug and kiss before we left.  Jordan peaked into the classroom after we “left”… but Natalie didn’t look back.  She’s such a sweet girl, as her teachers said today! 🙂  The only disappointing news of the day is that she should probably be a more independent eater than she is… so we’ll work on it.  That’s mama’s fault!  (This is mama writing… not dada The pics were just under his account.)

And the homework begins

Natalie got homework before The first day of school! We worked on it together this morning, with a little help from Dad on the question about what Natalie wants to be when she grows up.
