Happy Fall

This is pretty good!!

We had our first full week of rice cereal and Kate seemed to really like it. I find this unusual because it sure does not smell good and I don't think I've ever hear any mom say their child loved rice cereal. She smiles the whole time I'm feeding it to her. If there was one word to describe this child it would be EASY! I'm in no saying that having two children is easy because it's not. Especially not between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. But as far as eating, sleeping and just hanging out, she is pleasant and laid back. She's probably saving it all up for the toddler years. That seems to be what Lynley did. She is definitley a pleasure to be around every day. I look forward every day to looking over into her crib in the morning and seeing that big smile.

A Day at the Farm

Today Lynley's class, along with all the other 3-year classes, took a field trip to Old Baker Farm where they had all kinds of farm animals, a pumpkin patch and a hayride. They were able to see and pet (yuck!!) all kinds of animals- donkeys, pigs, baby ducks and horses. The highlight of the trip was probably the hayride out to the pumpkin patch. All the children were able to pick out a pumpkin and bring it home. My least favorite part of the trip- probably when all the children, including mine, were touching all the animals and then preceded to put their hands in their mouths before the moms could get over to them with hand sanitizer! Oh well, I guess we'll survive. Lynley thought the white rabbits looked just like Mr. Rabbit!

Kate

Several of you have mentioned that you haven't seen any pics of Kate in a while. Poor second child!! It's so hard to find time to take pictures now. But I have been better in the last few weeks. She has changed so much. She smiles all the time, especially at Lynley. She is a happy, happy baby. Enjoy!!

Auburn Football Weekend

Lynley experienced her first Auburn football weekend and I think she's officially a true Auburn fan now! Or her grandparents might say she's officially brainwashed! She had the full Auburn experience- tailgating, tiger walk and a great rivalry game. She handled it like a champ, even without a nap and staying up from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. She met Aubie at tiger walk and had her picture taken with him. You can see how excited she is by the smile on her face. She looked like that all day. We had so much fun staying with our good friends, Allyn, Ashley, Ella and Gray. Lynley cried when we had to leave and didn't understand why we couldn't just live there. My pledge class also had a reunion this weekend and it was so good to see so many friends I haven't seen in so long. Thanks Leslie for hosting us all! Needless to say we are tired from a long, exciting weekend but it was well worth it.

First Day of 3-year Preschool

Lynley went for her first day of 3-year preschool today. She had new teachers and some new children in her class that she had never met before. As usual she walked in and never looked back to see if I was still there. I'm so glad that she is so confident and comfortable at school but it still would be nice to feel missed!
