Life is moving at a much quicker pace these days with our little school girl. We are at the end of week two of Kindergarten. Addi comes home with a big smile everyday and stories about all the new friends she met. She loves going to the library and getting new books, and insists on wearing a dress to school everyday. (That will surely change this winter). 

Kaden had a hard time at first with Addi going to school and leaving on the school bus. We bought him a Little People School Bus, and watched "Elmo Goes to School", and he is fine with it now. He holds his bus tight as he watches Addi drive away, then acts the whole thing out with his Little People. 

He disagrees with me here that he needs a post breakfast bath :o)

All snuggled up in his rag quilt :o)

Waiting to greet his big sister! 

Arts and Crafts, Kaden's favorite time of day. (Next to meal time, and nap time ;o) 

Addi practicing her letters and holding her pencil correctly. 

Soccer is keeping us busy and happy. Addi loves soccer! They have been practicing for two weeks and their first game is tomorrow morning. It should be quite entertaining! :o) 

Last night Addi started Cheer class at a kids gym in Spokane. She is going to make an awesome cheerleader!       

She was the only kid you could hear cheering and she totally has the personality and energy needed to entertain a crowd. The mascot of her cheer class is a Hawk, which is also her school's mascot. I have a feeling she will bust some cheers out at school. :o)

In the middle of our crazy busy week was our anniversary. Luckily we celebrated the prior weekend, but Tony still had flowers, champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us after soccer practice that night. Addi was impressed, as was I, and asked me, "Wow Mom! So, what did you get Daddy?" Ummmmmm, well, I wrote him a nice note and put it in his lunch that day. Does that count? ;o) 

The strawberries were AMAZING, and made fresh just for me! 

My beautiful flowers smell SO GOOD! 

Notice the large Zucchini on the table! My Mom picked me some fresh veggies at Green Bluff and delivered them to me. I am feeling quite spoiled. Tony is going to be eating zucchini for the next week straight! 

Starting with this! 

We are excited for the weekend to slow things down a bit. Addi is dying to get some baking done. Tuesday was her only day without an after school activity. When Tony asked her how her afternoon was, she said, "It was great! Reminded me of my lovely summer mornings!"
