First Day of Preschool

09/09/2010 Bella's first day of preschool.

09/14/2010 Bella's 2nd day of school....first real day. (lasted longer than the 1st day)

Bella is loving preschool. It is such a joy to see her so excited and happy about school. Even on the first day she went right in and started playing and only cried when we had to go home. She has come a long way from those never forgetful days of dropping her off in Sunday school Sunday mornings at church. So happy that she loves school and loves Sunday mornings too. Bella looks forward to Miss Dody's class every Tuesday and Thursday. Anna and I are adjusting well, especially since we know Bella is having a great time.

Finishing out the summer

Special harmonicas sent from Great Grandpa Black for everyone.

Labor Day...enjoying Home Sweet Home with some watermelon.

Trikes,swings, and ducks

We have not been out in the heat tons this summer, but we did embrace it a few Saturday mornings ago at Little Mulberry Park. Of course, the girls love to go to the park, but it is a wonderful pastime for Jason and I too. We do not get to stroll the walking trails and enjoy long talks anymore, but we are living all the daydreams we used to share.

Bella on her tricycle becoming a little independent rider.

Anna loving the swings. It was so fun pushing her for at least 15 minutes or more. Bella is always a quick push and move on.

Feeding the ducks. Lots of ducks.

Pigtails and Crewcuts

Anna got her first haircut! It is weird to have to take Anna for a haircut since Bella did not have her first haircut until after the age of 2. I could probably say even now, Anna has more hair than Bella. Whatever Bella may lack in hairstyle, she makes up for it in personality! Short hair or no hair they are beautiful little girls:)!

Anna did really well. She did fall forward once and hit her head on the metal steering wheel. She was too small for the seat belt to really hold her stable....should have kept my mother's intuition that would happen. She recovered well and the stylist finished up fast.

All done.

To Bella, it's not about the haircut, it's about the fun playroom.

Styling now!
