new quilts!

So since I forgot the first day of Preschool picture LL really wanted this one to be her first day even though it's more second week of school picture.
and it wouldn't be LL without a pose!

The matching quilts my mom made for the girls. So cute and I love that they are matching. Thank you mom. Oh and for any P-roy area people she has a quilting company now. You can take it to her and she will quilt it at the house.

Love/Hate relationship?

Jack and LL are so funny together. Before Jack was born we worried that LL would not like him and be very jealous about our time with him. But it has been the complete opposite. LL loves to be with Jack, to kiss, hug, hold hands with and bother in any way possible. But Jack on the other hand only likes this love about once a day. He is usually pushing her away or screaming. It can be funny and frustrating all at once. But I do like seeing them play together. They are cute! Jack is pushing her away, but she really wants a hug:)

Fall is coming!

We have been playing outside as much as possible now that cooler weather is here. We know that winter will be here soon and then we will be stuck inside until March. So enjoy some of our fun activities! Jack and I at the park

They all invaded our bed!

dancing like Hannah Montana

feeding the ducks on the Erie Canal, the ducks got so close to LL that she retreated into the stroller and threw the bread from there. Every time I gave Jack a piece he would scream when I told him to throw it, and he would eat every other piece. Good thing it hadn't gone bad yet.

Preschooler?

LL started preschool last week, and I was so worried about walking there in time that I forgot my camera. Well, we made it there and we were even early! She was so excited about going, she wore a pink skirt and tights, because she wanted to look pretty for her first day of school. Then to top it off they gave her pink play dough to take home. It was the perfect first day for LL.

5K

I ran in a 5K this morning. It was called Run for Mercy. There is a great place here called the Mercy House that takes in people that need help or are homeless. The funny part is during the race I stayed near the same three people and we would take turns leading then falling back and right at the end one of the ladies that I ran beside the whole race decided that she wanted to beat me across. We sprinted to the finish and we... tied. Oh and we were a long way off from placing first considering the first place ended in 17 minutes, and I don't run that fast. But I had fun! We both laughed after it was over.

Virginia Vacation

We just came back from a wonderful vacation to Hershey, PA, Williamsburg, VA and DC area. We had a great time and got back the night before MJ started 1st grade. Enjoy! Jack helping mom with her flip flops

BSU/ VT football game in FedEx Field where the Redskins play

We would have liked it better in the BSU section, but we were smiling more as the last touchdown put us ahead and didn't hear anymore drunks yelling at us about BSU being a joke.

MJ's first day of 1st grade!
