Off to School She Goes

Olivia is starting preschool this year. She was so excited! We had decided to change preschools to better fit our needs so they are both started at the new school this week. Our new school is a bit more structured and they focus more on academics. They also wear uniforms, how adorable.

They both have done great this week. Chase has come along way since throwing up the hallway from nerves just 2 years ago. We went and met the teacher and saw the classrooms on Monday and Tuesday was their first day. It was torrentially raining that morning which made it hard for pictures but made the drop off quick and easier emotionally. Olivia had no problem leaving me. She didn't even turn around and look back. She came out with a big super star sticker on. Chase has told everyone he loves his class and has not complained at all about going. William and I have come home to a very quiet house :( It feels so empty without them. I cannot get over how fast these years have gone by.

Picassos

We celebrated our friend Chloe's birthday today at a paint your own pottery studio. Olivia painted a circle jewelry box and Chase chose an ice cream cone shaped container. They both worked really hard on their projects. Chase was determined to paint the inside, while leaving the outside unpainted. Olivia covered hers with pink paint, of course.

Handsome Handsome

2 Months Old, Already

Here is my big boy. I cannot believe he is 2 months old.

Drawing Crowds

As you can see the novelty has not worn off yet.

Kick, Kick, Kick

Chase and Olivia have been taking swim lessons. They have done great! Not one tear or complaint, they have really enjoyed getting in there and improving their skills. Chase, who didn't like going under, is putting his head under when he swims and coming up for breaths now. Olivia is very comfortable in the water and is becoming a strong kicker.

Baby Coos

William is almost 2 months old already. He is getting so big! He loves to lay on his playmat and talk away. I realized that he was having some serious belly pains after I ate eggs so since I have cut them out he is much happier! Glad it was an easy solution. Chase and Olivia are heading to school in a few short weeks so we are going to be busy catching up with all of our friends and enjoying our last few quiet mornings.

All Smiles

We are all smiles these days. William is so smiley (when he is not crying from gas pains). It is adorable! And I am finally feeling 100%. It took six long weeks but the pain is gone- yeah!! My mom is here helping us for one final week and we are trying to squeeze in everything we can before we are on our own for good.
