Then and Now...

It's really neat to look back at old pictures of the boys when they were Julia's age. Here is one that really struck me- all of them at 3 mths (almost). Don't let the pictures fool you though, Julia is still bigger than the 2 of them put together :)

The End of the Pudding Cup!

Well my Maternity leave is officially over and I will be heading into work tomorrow. The ten weeks really flew by fast! Our sitter Kristin will be watching Julia tomorrow. It is a big step because it's the first time we have left her alone with anyone. I trust her completely but I'm still a little nervous. Julia is doing wonderful. She is getting so big! She is 13 lbs and in the 93% percentile for her age! She is still sleeping through the night which is such a blessing. We are starting to see her personality come out and she is a pretty happy baby. In the morning she is smiling and cooing when we get her from her crib. She is holding her head up pretty well so we have been able to start putting her in the exersaucer so she can sit upright. She likes to be a part of what is going on and she has started to fight sleep during the day so she won't miss anything. The boys are doing well so far in school and they seem to like their teacher. They still love riding the bus and it is nice not to have to drive them to pre-school anymore. We do miss Hazelwild though. They went to a birthday party a few weeks ago there and got to ride horses and play in a water slide. It was fun to be back since camp was over and we look forward to going back for the fall festival. Wish me luck this week-it will be a long one!

Here are some pics from the party at Hazelwild.

Kindergarten Kids!

The boys started Kindergarten today! They were very excited and up and dressed by 7 am! They got a little nervous right before going to the bus stop but no tears! It was so cute to see them get on the bus and they were excited to finally join their neighborhood friends! They started cheering when the bus came around the corner :) I actually followed the bus just to make sure they got to school. (I know I could not help myself). We are so proud of them and still can't get over how quickly time flies! Julia will be heading to Kindergarten too before we know it. And speaking of the little angel- she has slept through the night 3 days in a row-I probably just jinxed it but it has been so nice not to have to get up in the middle of the night. Hope it lasts! Also on some good news my Mom's cancer has not spread so we are very relieved! She starts intensive chemo next week so please continue to keep her in your prayers to keep her strong and healthy during these treatments. My Dad is also feeling alot better and hopefully will be able to avoid surgery. He will have further tests to rule out any other issues. I posted some pics from the boys big day! Enjoy and congrats to all of our friends who survived getting their kids off to Kindergarten today!
