First Day of Preschool

Anabelle is officially a student! Today was her first day at Rocky River United Methodist Nursery School and she did great, but mom was with her the whole time - they do a gradual intro into school. So ... tomorrow she has to do it all by herself. I think she'll do great!

The Big Screen

Macy is trying to give up her two nap schedule so it was the perfect opportunity for a special Dad and Anabelle day, and dad decided to go BIG. Not just taking her to her first movie but going downtown to the Great Lakes Science Center to see an Omnimax Movie. Anabelle was so excited.

She started by saying goodbye to Macy and telling her she wasn't going. When we got to the parking garage she was skipping and laughing non-stop. When the movie started she was so amazed how big it was and thought that we were moving since the movie surrounded us in the dome. It was so cute how little she was in the big chairs.

The past few days

Soooo, just so you know, this is how Macy has felt all week. The poor girl is growing teeth like it's going out of style! Here's another glimpse into our week:

Well, you still have to look good even when you're in pain, hence the beads she would NOT let me take off of her neck!

So, I thought a fun trip out to the Zoo was much deserved by all of us and we had a blast! Anabelle was most excited to see the Lions and even though they were sleeping and basically impossible to see she said they were her favorite! They were seriously so far away and so uneventful that even though she was excited about them, I didn't take a pic. Instead I found this to be a better photo op:

So, even though the start of the week was rough, we ended it happily and we were all friends again!

We're still here!!

Hi there everyone -
So sorry we have been MIA from the blog lately. Life sure gets busy with 2 little ones! Quick updates ...
Anabelle is almost 3 years old now, as she will remind you every day, "My birthday is coming up soon and I get to eat cake." and "Is today my birthday party mom?" She cracks us up constantly with her silly facial expressions, made up dance moves and random words and phrases. The other day she said, "Mom, can you do me a favorite?" She's also very good at wheeling and dealing with one of her favorite phrases being "Is that a good deal?" Above all though she is a great big sister and keeps a good eye on Macy.
Speaking of Macy - she's 14 months old now and I swear if I look at her I can see her grow. And the smile on her face is priceless - she smiles so big at the littlest things! And when she smiles her eyes get so small I don't think she can see. She's just a happy, busy girl. And her teeth are her story right now - she has 4 going on 12 teeth. Seriously. She started with the normal front middle teeth and then skipped right to the big guns - the molars. Painful! But she's doing awesome.
A couple weeks ago, we took the girls camping for 1 night and it was so much fun. We hiked, saw snakes, had smores at the campfire, caught lightning bugs, and had too much fun playing in the tent. Here's a few pics from that adventure!
