Birthday Party for Buzz & Woody

Nana & Pa get Thomas one evening a week to spend time with him, its a major highlight of his week. A couple of weeks ago they decided to have a birthday party for Buzz and Woody...this party was complete with streamers, balloons, presents for them, a real birthday cake, candles...you get the idea...As you can see Thomas had an absolute blast! I think they all did :)

The Big Day!

Well the smile on this face says it all....at 6:30 am (30 min before he needed to wake up) Thomas bounced out of bed and says is it time to get up? He was immediately ready to start the big day. Without being asked he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and fixed his hair, put his clothes on and was ready for breakfast... He was posing for pictures before I even got the camera out!

He was rushing me out the door this morning...when we got to school he was telling me where his classroom was and as soon as he got in there he was off to explore his new world, I had to ask him for a kiss and tell him bye, he never looked back. I am so thanful he was so excited but I however have been crying ever since :)

Also check out his pose with his new teacher Miss Rock!

The Night Before Kindergarten...

Well it was the night before Kindergarten and their was lots of excitment in our house... we loaded up all the school supplies and checked our backpack with care...packed our lunch for the big day and took a warm bath...then it was off to read a story and get into bed.

We have been reading this book for a week but last night we had to read it twice.

Ready for Baby...

The nursery is finally ready. So Baby Tyler whenever you get ready to come into this world we are ready for you. Which by the way I thought was going to take place very early this morning but after a couple of hours I got to feeling better so I guess he isn't hardly ready yet!

Last Day of Day Care!

Today was Thomas' last day of day care! It's Official...He is Kindergarten Bound!
We had such an amazing experience at the best day care on the planet...I had to fight back tears when I picked Thomas up today. Thankfully they will still get to be a special part of our lives after baby Tyler gets here!

This is Thomas with Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Katie, and Ms. Becca...3 of the most special teachers I have ever met. We sure do love these ladies and cannot thank them enough for the role they have played in each of our lives over the past several years...

32 Weeks and Counting

Well let me just tell you...after the extremely cold winter we had and the days upon days where we had absolutely no sunshine what so ever I swore I would not complain all summer long about the heat...so all I am going to say is I sure am thankful for air conditioning!

I am 32 Weeks and Counting this week, Baby Tyler is a very active little guy and So far we are both doing pretty well.
