Celebrating 6 Years

09/11/2010 Jason and I celebrated 6 years of marriage.
Here we are posing for a picture taken by Jason's mom. So thankful she came and watched the girls as we snuck out for a lovely dinner at the Atlanta Fish Market.

It was our first time ever eating at Atlanta Fish Market. We had great food! We both wanted to continue the celebration by ordering a dessert. However, we did not realize that the restaurant would be providing a sweet anniversary dessert.

We definitely must have looked like we had huge appetites to our waiter as he brought us 3 dessert plates!

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.

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.
