Nicolas’ 1st day of Kindergarten
Well I guess it was inevitable. The first day of kindergarten finally arrived. I think that I was more anxious than Nicolas. I hoped that I wouldn’t get too emotional as we walked in the school and I surprised myself- I didn’t. Nicolas has a great morning. He woke up all smiles and ready for the day. He ate his Cheerios and was ready for the morning. Derek, Allison and Megan and I dropped him off at 7:20 and he just sat right down and started coloring. “Bye, Mom” he said without any hesitation. Derek and I just kinda looked at each other both thinking that he was way too independent. I am so glad he wasn’t scared or nervous. I now have a kindergartener. Crazy!!!

Big Girl Beds and NO more Pullups!
Whew! What a weekend! The girls are officially in “BIG GIRL BEDS” and wearing panties (during the day only ). Wow…where has the time went? Seems like yesterday the preemie diapers swallowed them. Yesterday was the first day of daycare where they wore the big girl panties all day. Allison did awesome. Only 1 accident all day. Megan, on the other hand, has not mastered staying dry yet. She had 5 accidents total all day. I am not sure where the problem is exactly because she goes potty almost every time she sits on the potty but she only goes a little bit. I guess it’s a process but I am hoping by the fall we are pretty much over the daily accidents. I would say that its much easier to change dirty shorts and then dirty winter pants.
About the beds…….they were so excited to get big beds. Its funny because I had to actually buy them stools to get on them! They are just normal twin beds but their little legs are just really short.
Allison picked Princess bedding and Megan picked Dora. Even though I am not a huge fan of character bedding I decided to pick my battles.
They love their beds and that’s all that really matters. Sunday night they stayed up til after 10 pm talking though. I think they were just really excited because they have always been in the same room together. Just girls I guess!
Just thought I’d update. Only 1 week and half til Nicolas starts Kindergarten! I am not sure mommy is ready for all of this Big Steps! LOL!

2 1/2 YEAR CHECK UP
Just thought I’d add a quick note about the girls 2 ½ year check up. They are growing so fast .
Here are the stats.
Allison 27lb even 35% 34 ½ inches tall 20%.
Megan 24lb 4 oz 5% 33 inches tall 3%.
They are both doing really well. There growth curve looks great although they are both still small and more than likely always be.
They are both talking up a storm and doing pretty well on the potty.
I believe they will be out of pullups during the day within a month! YEAH!
One more quick note. Allison said the funniest thing yesterday on the way home from the checkup. She said, “mommy what are you drinking?” I said “Coke”. She said “Can I have a drink?” I said, No. (She knows she doesn’t get to drink coke.). She said, “AWEEEEE MAN! I drink coke when I get older?”
She is a nut.

BACK FROM VACATION
Well we are back from our vacation. Destin was awesome . We had a fabulous trip. They kids were all good and the drive back and forth went extremely smooth. My nightmare of uncontrolled screaming never happened . YEAH!
We all had a blast. My favorite part of the entire trip happened on the 2nd morning we were there. We went to the beach early that morning and Nicolas smiled ear to ear and said, “Thanks you mommy so much for bringing me here.” I almost cried. I knew right then that the trip was worth it.
Here are a few pictures from our visit.

COUNT DOWN TO VACATION
COUNT DOWN TO VACATION
Okay, so only 6 more days til vacation. YEAH! We are all very excited. Of course there is always that 10 + hour drive to think about that keeps weighing on my mind. Please ,please, please let it not be miserable…GOD, hear my prayers!
Update on the weight loss …………well, there is no update. I can honestly say that I have not lost 1 single pound in almost 2 months. Although I haven’t been watching what I eat, I definitely turned up the exercising. I didn’t lose 1 single pound. Well I guess that is better than gaining, right?

SHOWER????
My niece Whitney is getting married next month and over the weekend my sister Christi had her a wedding shower. I told Allison and Megan time and time again over the week that we were going to Whitney's shower. They seemed happy about going. As we were leaving Sunday, I heard Allie in the back seat telling Megan, "Megan, we going to Whitney's shower. We watch Whitney take bath?"
It was so cute. I never thought to explain to the girls that the shower we were going to didn't involve bathing!! LOL!
I went on to explain to them that the wedding shower we were going to was actually a party....where there is gifts, games, and food! They, of course, got even more excited.

Family Pictures
A few weeks back we had our family pictures made. My cousins wife Mickie did them for us and I was so impressed with her work. She is a fabulous photographer. Just thought I'd share some of the pictures.
