Just So You Know...

Just to inform you...my laptop is getting slower by the day. Has been for a while. It takes a very very long time to upload pics. It's practically impossible to complete a post in one sitting. So, until it either gets fixed or I get a new one, I'll still be doing this catching up thing. Sigh.

School Starts!

Since I was induced the day before school started, I figured Bailee would be missing the start of the school year. Damon finally reminded me that he was quite capable of getting her to and from school. Didn't quite think of that since it's always what I do. So after my first night in the hospital, Bailee started 4th grade. I knew she was really stressed about doing her own hair (yet wouldn't let Damon touch it.) Damon and Trey took her to meet her teacher then headed to the hospital after. Of course I was staring at the clock all morning. Ok, Bailee is awake now and trying to do her hair. Ok, they should be driving to the school now. Hope she's on time. Hope she likes her teacher. Wish I could be there. Hope she's not sad right now...cause I am. Feeling so guilty.
Although it broke my heart a little not being there, everyone survived...even Bailee.

A couple weeks later Trey started his second year of preschool. He has the same teacher as last year; my friend Jessica Lindley. She does an amazing job and Trey adores her. Here's my handsome bud.

Good luck kids! Love you!!!

Kids Photo Shoot

I did a photo shoot of the kids not long after Nash's individual pics. Things weren't as smooth sailing this time around, but Mari helped me edit some for my wall so it all ended up ok. The kids are in this strange smile phase for pictures. I'm sure every parent knows what I'm talking about. They try so hard for the perfect smile that it ends up being the worst of smiles. Yeah, both of the older kids. Then Nash was crying most of the time. Then there's the closing eyes. Also, Bailee wanted to wear mascara. I let her since she wore it for her dance pics and they ended up great. I fixed a clump and her eyes watered the rest of the time. But, like I said, thanks to Mari's editing skills, my faves look perfect in my entryway.

Here's some of my faves before editing. Beautiful kids, right?
