Wade's Blessing

What a sweet face
In his blessing outfit

Sunday we had Wade blessed at church. We were so lucky to be surrounded by so many friends and family. It was such a special day for us, and I am thankful to everyone who came. Addisyn sang a sweet little chilren's song in church also "I'm Trying to be like Jesus", and did a fabulous job. Wade turned 2 months on Monday. I can't believe 2 months have already flown by. He is such a good baby, and we love having him in our family. Monday he went for his 2 month check up and 1st round of vaccinations. He weighed 11 lbs 8 oz and was 23 1/2 in long. That's 50% for weight and 75-90% for length. He smiles so much these days, has started talking to us, really recognizes voices, and follows things very well. He even has started sleeping 6-8 hours in the night without having to eat.Way to go Wade, keep it up.

Everyone who came - 57 in all

Kindergarten here she comes

Having breakfast before school with her "K" for kindergarten gang sign

Soo cute and ready
Walking to her class

Hard at work already


This was her face all morning

So yesterday was Addisyn's first day of kindergarten. She has been so excited for this day to come. I on the other hand have been excited, sad, and nervous. She did great yesterday. Again, me on the other hand was a total mess. I faked it great all day, but once I had to leave her I cried all the way to the car and then some. I did not think I would be that sad but boy did I surprise myself. I mean she has been my buddy for almost 6 years now. Just seeing her in that big school with all those big kids made me want to just keep her with me. She only goes one day this week, thank goodness, because I need these couple of days to prepare me for next week when she goes for forever. She looked so cute, and told her teacher after she had been there a while that "in her head she was thinking that she was better than all the other kids". Oh well at least she didn't feel intimidated or was lacking in self confidence.

Vacation

Last week we tagged along on one of Jay's business trips to take a little family vacation, since we didn't have one the summer with the birth of Wade. We spent the week with my sisters in Tuscaloosa while Jay traveled around doing business. The kids and I had a great time visiting family, seeing old friends, and doing things together. I liked taking the kids around and showing them what were my favorite things to do there or eat there while I was in college, at least most of them. We also spent a lot of time at Chuck-E-Cheese, and on Alabama's campus. After Jay was through with work we headed over to Atlanta for the weekend. We took the kids to The Aquarium there and then to a Braves game. It was a blast. The aquarium was amazing, and the kids loved the ball game. We came home tired, happy, and ready to start school this week.
