Happy 3rd Birthday Nolan!

Happy 3rd birthday Nolan!  We love you so, so, so much and love the little guy you are growing up to be.  Thinking back three years ago today tugs at our hearts thinking of all the worrying that we did about you.  We can't imagine our life any other way and we are so thankful that everything turned out just as we had hoped.  Love you baby boy. 

 

 

 Love the first time I held him after being taken to the NICU...I'll never forget that.

 

Kindergarten here we come!

Tessa's in Kindergarten!  Here's her pic from the first day of school.  She was so excited, smiling from ear to ear.  I don't know what she was most excited about.  It was a toss up between riding the bus from daddy's school, riding with Brady, being in her classroom with her friends, recess, having hot lunch, meeting Mas after school to go to Jess, to finally see Mitchell at the end of the day to hear about how his day was, or to be reunited with Marah and Nolan after her first day not being at grandma's on a "Grandma Day".  Tessa is loving school.  We hope that her love for learning and that spark in her eye stays for the next twelve years of school. 



 

Back to Stephie's!

Here is pic of Tessa and Nolan the first day of daycare when summer break came to an end :(  We had such a great summer, soooo much fun.  It definitely makes it a lot easier to head back to work when the kids are this excited to head back to Stephie's.  Tessa was lucky enough to spend a few full days there before her year of kindergarten began.  We know how lucky we are to have such special people in our life caring for our kids while we are away at work.  Stephie...we are ready to come back to you but the real question is, are you ready for us?!?
