Eden and Elli are off to Grade Two and Pre-K!

I’m a blubbering mess! I have to admit, I was more than excited when I shipped Elli off to Daycare last year. I was pregnant and in a different headspace. This year I feel like my little baby is growing up too fast, right before my very eyes. This picture was taken bright and early as we got up and had a nice large breakfast. No I didn’t let the girls wear those shoes to School. They both wore a pair of running shoes to School but I picked these adorable little boots up when we were shopping because I thought they would be a cute addition to the outfit. They also of course had to take their hats off before entering the School.

Elli has grown up so much in the short little while. We worked on a lot over the summer; she can spell her name, she can count to 10, she knows her address, and she makes it to the bathroom every time now! When Elli grows up she says she wants to be a Baker like her Aunt Candy! 

Eden has come a long way too! Over the Summer we’ve been working on Math books to get her caught up with her age group. Last year one of the subjects she struggled with was Math. She’s finally starting to come out of her shell as well around other kids! She loves ballet and is convinced when she grows up she’s going to be a Dancer! She’s thinking a Ballet Dancer right now but say she may be a professional Tap Dancer.

As for me. I’ve really enjoyed the Summer with the girls; yes tragedy started it off but as a family we were able to push through and come together. I’ve been super busy trying to set up my shop; but the kids and I were still able to do some amazing things! We went to a really fancy hotel just before Summer was up and we had a blast in the indoor waterpark. Sadly (for me) the kids had to spend a lot of time at my Mothers due to the shop taking up a bunch of my time this last month. They didn’t mind however, they loved being at Grammie’s. I’m going to spend the whole day just sitting home with little Cas and just cry a bunch. I miss my kids. I hope they are having the best time at School!

  Cas waking up from this morning nap, it’s amazing how much you’ve grown little guy! You look so much like your Daddy already it’s unreal. He would have been so excited to watch you grow, but unfortunately life had other plans for Daddy. You’re such a soother boy, take it and you cry bloody murder. I’m going to have fun getting it away from you when you’re older; we shall cross that bridge as it comes. 

  I can’t get over how different you are from Elli when she was a baby. I couldn’t get her to gain weight. You on the other hand are such a chunky little man! You’ve got rolls for days! We’re going to blame Daddy on this one, he was a chunky kid. You’re already in 3-6 month clothes. It’s hard to believe newborn ever fit you; correction I think newborn fit for a day.
