First Week of School!

Sunday, August 29, 2010:

Will has survived his first week of school and LOVES it! He is so proud when I drop him off to walk by himself but I must admit it makes me a little sad to see him growing up so fast. When I pick him up he always has a smile and can't wait to tell me about his day...or who had to pull a stick on the behavior chart :-) Thomas took him to a Texans last night for having such a great week. And they got to spend some extra special time together while Simon, Louis and I went to a clothing party!

Simon is so aware of those big brothers! Simon started cooing and smiling when he sees them. Its precious. I was able to capture it on camera too! He loves them so much and they love him right back. Will and Louis are so sweet and gentle with Simon...it just warms our hearts! Simon is getting so much needed "meat" on his little bones! AND he eyes are SO blue! He is almost seven weeks and is already 10 pounds!

Louis misses Will but has been keeping busy with me and Simon. Some highlights include making cookies, cupcakes and brownies and licking the bowl, play dates, lunch dates, swimming, lots of board games, swinging, library, t ball and children's museum this week. Here are a few pics!

Simon Thomas - almost 7 weeks old; 10 pounds! Look at those baby blues:-)

1st Day of School

Monday, August 23, 2010

Will is officially a FIRST grader! He woke up so excited and ready to go :-) You can tell by his BIG smiles! Everyone walked him to his classroom this morning. He was such a proud big brother.
Will walked in and gave his teacher, Mrs. Turner, her back to school present and went immediately to his desk (so studious) and began his seat work. No doubt he gets that from Thomas!
Here are a few pictures from this morning and this weekend from the Saints game. We are so proud of you William! I can't to hear ALL about your day :-)

Summer is quickly coming to an end! Here is a little recap of our summer - Louis turned 3, we welcomed Simon into our family, Thomas turned 30, we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary, Will turned 6, lots of birthday parties, swimming with friends and snow cones :-)This is what have been up to lately! School starts on August 23rd! First grade, here we come!!

Will making new crayons!

Yes, we are truly science nerds! Here is a onesie I made for Simon.

He is not sure what to think of it :-)

Playdough! I am not sure if we have enough!

Crayon Maker - Will and I made these while Simon and Louis napped one rainy afternoon. He really enjoyed it and it was very similar to how our easy bake oven works - lightbulbs!

Step 1 - start with old or broken crayons
