Thankful

As we prepare to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow with our family, I am so thankful for the many joys that TB brings to my life....she is a smart, funny, head strong, clever, and engaging child that has captured the imagination and love of so many...and I am blessed to be her mom! How amazing is that??

So...thank you to TB (who spent this morning chasing snowflakes with her tongue) for gracing me with your love and vitality...

Love, mom

Oh What a Month We've Had!

Sorry that I haven't posted in so long....had trouble uploading pictures for a bit, and we have been so busy!

September and October were really crazy! We celebrated TBs 5th Birthday (and what a wonderful day it was), took a trip to Denver to enjoy the Rockies (while I attended a conference for work), and enjoyed the fall fun with apple picking and Halloween.

All of this was interspersed among many adjustments to Kindergarten. The first 5 weeks were pretty rough...TB was missing her pals/teachers from preschool and learning the new social rules of a new peer group...OH BOY! I'm amazed at the attitude of 5 year old girls on the playground...where do they learn to be so persnickety and cruel? There were many tears, tummy aches, and disagreements while the adjustments happened....but I'm happy to say that I think that we're now over the worst of it (I HOPE!)

I've uploaded some of the pics that I took over the past weeks...she is growing up so quickly...I miss my baby!
