Livy's first day of school

Livy turns 4 next month. We decided to enroll her in a wee school 2 days a week this school year. She's been excited all summer for school.


I was very apprehensive how the first day would go. She's very shy and gets scared of new people and places. I've covered her in prayer for this school year.


Her first day couldn't have gone better. She waltzed right in...gave me a kiss and said " I love you mama, bye!" I stood there in shock then exited the school.


I was crying because I was so sad she was in school, but also crying tears of joy because she was so brave.
She LOVED her first day of school. She loves her teacher. I'm excited for a great school year for her.
Good luck to all you mommies who send your babies off to school this year!:)

Nutshell summer

Why hello long lost friends...
A lot has happened this summer. So here it is in a big nut shell;)
We're having a baby at the end of January. Looks to be a boy! Pregnancy is going great and Livy can't wait to be a big sister. She never fails to tell me that my belly is getting bigger EVERY day. Currently 16 weeks and feeling all kinds of flutters.




Livy completed level one on swimming lessons. She jumps off diving board and swims in DEEP water like a pro. So thankful she can swim well (being we have a pool in our back yard).




We visited my parents this summer. Nanny Bea spent the whole week with us too. It was one of my favorite weeks this summer.




Went to Branson with my sister and all the kiddos. Our last hoorah before Jennie started nursing school this fall.












We also celebrated lots of birthdays with family this summer. 3 nieces and 2 nephews! Oh, and I gained a new nephew in July. London Stokes.




We are nearing the end of summer. Sad to see it go but this pregnant mama is ready for fall:)
Livy starts wee school on Tuesday and she can't wait. I hope I'm as excited as her come Tuesday morning as I drop her off. :-/
I will be back people. I have a lot to document these next several months,
