Olivia's Second Birthday

Dear Olivia,

     You are TWO today, and I can hardly believe it! It feels like I just wrote your birthday letter for your first birthday. You have grown so much over the last year. Your vocabulary has soared, you are potty trained, and you are sleeping in a big bed {for part of the night anyway}! You are a very strong willed girl, and I know the future holds great things for you. I really think you have the potential to be the first female president. You are smart, determined, and really good at getting what you want. If you don't, you will more than likely throw a huge fit and scream louder than any child I have ever heard. Hopefully that will stop by your third birthday. ;) I love you so much and can't wait to see how you grow over the next year. 

XOXO,

Mama

Pearl Farmers Market

    We had such a fun morning/early afternoon visiting the Farmers Market at the old Pearl Brewery in downtown. We had never been before and I have been wanting to visit for quite sometime, so when Aaron told me we could go I was thrilled!

 The kids wanted to get on this old train.

Afternoon Chats With Daddy

    Since Aaron is still assigned to his unit at Fort Hood, we only see him on the weekends. We are praying that he can move to San Antonio in a couple of weeks, but the Army is slow. In the meantime, the kids look forward to the nightly chats with him. Thank goodness for technology !

Connor's First Day Of First Grade

     Today was Connor's first day of first grade! He was so excited to go to school today. I had to wake him up and give him a few minutes to adjust, but he got dressed on his own and made sure we weren't running late. He told me that I needed to hurry multiple times and was even snapping his fingers at me. Ha!

Summer's Ending

     I can't believe summer is almost over and this little guy starts school in just TWO days! He is making sure he can get all the play time in that he can!
