3rd day of kindergarten

Eden rode the bus today. She also lost another tooth while brushing her teeth. Crisp clothes, bouncy curls and a shiny white backpack is so cute. The 3rd day still feels like the first. I wonder when the novelty wears off?

First day of Kindergarten

Before schoolAfter school

It wasn't my most tender moment of Eden this morning as I took her to kindergarten. She stayed up way too late last night. Tired, anxious, hungry (she refused to eat breakfast) and a swore thumb made for the worse morning.

She cried the whole way to the classroom. The teacher had to hold her back as I left the room.

Of course when I picked her up later that day she was ready for a proper photo shoot.

Sunday before school. Father's blessing. 5 year olds are so cute!

Fire pit

As you can see the kids are over the moon with the fire pit Paul made in the backyard.

We had the best time this summer at our Ordyna family reunion. Joe & Julynn did an outstanding job. Lots of fun. Too many pictures to sort. This one is my favorite.

Move

We moved earlier this month. We actually bought a house. Yes, that's right. We bought a house. It was a moderately painful process. So glad the bank & title drama is over. It really has become quite the ordeal to get a mortgage.

While I have been trying to settle in, this has been what is going on.

David riding his 'motorcycle' barbie trike down the street (he seriously loves this bike) with a blanket. He did this all day. Until he started riding in the street with the blanket over his head. He couldn't see anything and literally almost got hit by a car. Sheesh....

Everyone wants to sleep with Ruthie. Everyone (except ME) is trying to get Ruthie to sleep in a toddler bed. What is wrong with these people? Why would I ever want her out of the crib? When she has mobility she never sleeps.

With empty totes around the kids found a new pool.

Fishing with grandpa

While we were in Mount Green we went fishing with grandpa Ordyna.

We had a wonderful time. We caught 4 fish, the kids gobbled them up that evening.

Thanks for the memory grandpa.

Looking older

Ruthie playing in her own room with her baby. She is getting so big. Everyday I see her baby-ness fading away.

Two front teeth

Eden lost one tooth half way through our trip in Utah. Just a few days later the other one came out.
