Jaycee Making us Laugh

Poor Jaycee. She doesn't get as much camera/blog time as the other two. She is like her mom. She doesn't really like to pose for pictures, but we finally caught her this time. Isn't she adorable?

Jorie's 1st day of Preschool

Jorie is attending her second year at Kinderstartin' Preschool. She loves it and was so excited to go back even though she is counting down the days until she is in Kindergarten and gets to go to school with Cameron.

Cameron's first day of !st Grade

Well we survived Cameron's first day of 1st grade. It is an adjustment for Cameron, Jorie and I to have Cameron gone all day. I hope it gets easier for all of us as the year goes on. He loves his teacher and is excited to be able to see all of his friends again, so I am sure we will all adjust.
