First Day of Pre-K!

WHAT AN EXCITING DAY!!! Ana started Preschool today at Buckner Fanning Christian School. I took a little bit to wake her this morning at 6:30...she kept pulling the covers back over her head and telling me it was "too late mommy"....kinda funny! But then she rallied and was ready to go.

This is her school uniform. Very cute and comfy! However, her skort is too big EVEN AFTER SENDING IT BACK FOR THE SMALLEST SIZE POSSIBLE...she just has no booty!

This is in her classroom. She will be going on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00 to 3:10...I know...long days! BUT she did great at those all day camps this summer so I'm hoping she can hang! I hope to be subbing all three days either through her school or the district we live in. I've signed up to be "Room Mom" too so I'm sure I'll keep busy volunteering too!
She went straight to her chair and said, "Love You Mommy...Bye Bye". SO good and so happy!

And this is her teacher, Ms. Amy. SWEETEST lady who I think will be wonderful. So, then I left and held it together until I got to my car! :) The joys of being a mommy!!! When I picked her up today, Amy said she did great, "but likes to do her own thing"...is that code for STUBBORN? :)We talked for a good 30 mins. and I think this is going to be an excellent year for Ms. Ana!!

Olympics




GO WORLD!

If you are wondering where I have been for the last couple of weeks...I was OBSESSED with the Olympics! Marc and I love them. We recorded them all day and would watch them all night. I have been exhausted but it was worth it!


Just watching those athletes and the way they push themselves physically and mentally is just amazing. They inspire me and I have so much appreciation for all they do. I swear EVERY TIME our national anthem was played I would get FILLED with pride and just get tingles all over!


The fact that they were in China was just a crazy feeling too. Being that we were there this time last year just made it even more familiar and special.


I love that the world comes together and puts aside all the "political dramas" to just be proud of their countries and everyone respects their abilities and talents!


Outside of the swimming, gymnastics, beach volleyball (my favorites) I LOVED all the visa commercials! Just a FUN two weeks and now it's time to get back to our regular routine and get some sleep!

Sink or Swim!!

She is SUCH a mermaid and LOVES to swim...but sank like a rock! She would kick like she was riding a bike and WOULDN'T keep her bottom and legs up! BUT after 4 days of one on one with Cameron...she SWIMS with scissor kicks instead of bicycle kicks! She swam the width of the pool today FOUR times! She's a fast little mermaid too!
This was Cameron's FIRST swimming lessons he had taught and I think he was pretty proud of himself too! Ana loved him and loved being a "lifeguard in training"!
