Bluegrass Baby!!!

Here is a little fun clip of our WONDERFUL weekend at our home away from home....

I spent most of the afternoons on friday and saturday sitting with my girl l.fox at Stage 5 and couldn't have been happier!! What a way to spend the day. Thankfully I have SUCH a great hubby to allow me all the time i needed to just hang out at one of my favorite places on earth! I had a lot of time to relax, think, and put things into perspective. That is just ONE of the things I love about bluegrass.... the reminder to live more simply and enjoy every moment.

First Day of School

Today was a big day!! Crosby is going to her first day of Kindergarten at Lowell in Mrs. Macias' class! The same place big sister Adler and her mommy went for all of our grade school years. We talked about sending her to Whittier this year, just because we thought it would be a good experience for her to try a new school to see if there were anythings we liked better about it...but OH NO! Cros insisted on going to Lowell and we didn't have any real reason to not let her. So it was off to Lowel she would go! She got up and ready really fast this morning ready to rock! She also insisted on taking her lunch today in her new lunch box!

***UPDATE***She likes it just fine so far. Winfield schools are going from 8:00-3:30 this year which is a long day as it is...especially if you are crosby and have been going to preschool for the last 3 years for only 2 1/2 hours a day!!! It's a big switch for her. She is very serious about school and everything they are doing. We read EVERY night even though she only has to read every other. She is just like Adler was about her reading!!!



Adler is back at the Winfield Intermediate School (aka the WIS) this year. She is in 6th grade in Mrs. See's class and couldn't have been MORE ready for school to start. She had been ready and anxious for WEEKS!! She even has a LOCKER this year! FUN!

I was lucky to be able to go to school a little late this morning so I could take my girls to their first day!!! Such an exciting time!!

10 Months Old!!

And she is FULL on Walking! No longer crawling at all. And getting into EVERYTHING. I can't take my eyes off of her for a second. She knows EXACTLY what she is not to get into (dog bowl, light socket, wine rack, cups full of liquid left on the coffee table, stairs....) and that is what she goes for first!! It is exhausting keeping up with her and I am still taking a morning nap at the same time she does and then the rest of her naps are spent getting things done or hanging out with the big girls.

Here is what else Paisley is up to at 10 months:

• she has her two top and two bottom teeth
• her top teeth have a gap between them just like Crosby and I did
• she BARELY bends her knees when she walks so she wobbles all over the house
• her favorite toy is still her singing piggy (i think she likes it cause it is so soft!)
• she LOVES her soft blankies and if you ask her "Is that your soffie?" she will rub her face back and forth on it!
• She says MAMA especially when she is upset and needing me. This is a great first for me as a mom because all of her sister's first word was DADA!
• She eats all table food and loves everything!
• She always stands up in her high chair and it drives me CRAZY!
• We call her "Skinny Ninny" "Ninny Marie" "Paileys" ...all kinds of random stuff!
• She is a very happy and easy going baby. But once in a while she can be Stubborn!!
• She is in a big girl car seat now
• She LOVES to watch the puppies, kitties, and birds. She can be mesmerized by them!

Well, that is all I can think of for now....she is napping so it is off to get a few more things done! we have Bluegrass and CropAGanza both coming up this week! Oh yeah and back to school for the girls! And they are READY!!!
