Ode to Paci

O Pacifier,
O Pacifier,
Joseph really misses you
It's so sad to see him boo hoo...
...for you
But your absence is overdue!
Bye Bye Paci...

Celebration

Happy Birthday, Joseph!!! Technically, it was yesterday, but we had a busy day and I'm just now posting.

My youngest has turned 3! I can't believe how quickly time is passing. We celebrated both his and his sister's birthdays over the weekend. Jump Zone was the place to be apparently. AE had a Tinkerbell cake and Joseph had a John Deere cake. Lots of fun was had by all!

Joseph's 1st Day of Pre-K3 at FUMC

Joseph was not too thrilled about going to school this morning. I gave him som gum on the way to school to try and cheer him up. Once we got into his classroom, he wanted me to stay with him. After he realized I wasn't staying, then he was all ready to leave with me. However, Ms. Melissa offered to hold him for a bit and that's when I made my escape! There were no tears, thank goodness, but I did wonder all day how he was doing. He was so excited to see me when I picked him up...he had even drawn a picture for me. How sweet!!


Labor Day Weekend Fun

Aside from celebrating AE's 5th b-day on Friday, our neighbors were kind enough to feed us dinner Saturday night. The Higgins' family can grill a mean steak, bake the best baked potatoes, and provide plenty of entertainment! While the adults visited and ate, the kiddos got to play in the pool that's currently under construction. Needless to say, it was a literal mudpit...







Saturday was also the first game of the season for LSU. The Tigers had to travel to the state of Washington for the opening game...they won, thank goodness...but there's going to be tougher teams ahead and we need to look much, much better. The Polk Family was dressed and ready for the game, though.

Monday was spent hanging out by the pool with some really good friends, The Bensons. Pizza, pool and sunshine...life couldn't be better! :)


Hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day Holiday Weekend!

Happy, Happy Birthday to AE



Well, my baby girl turned 5 years old yesterday. My how times flies! It seems like only yesterday when she was first put into my arms. I think she had a great day yesterday. She was line leader at school and we took cupcakes and juice for snack time. School let out at noon, so we opened presents when she got home. We did cake later in the evening.







All in all, I'd say she had a great birthday!!

1st Day of PreK

AE started school in August. She is attending a new school this year for PreK. It has taken some adjustments (it's a 5-day program), but she really likes it. She has already made some new friends. Here are a couple of pics from her first day...



AE's New Look

After the first week of school, AE let me know that things looked fuzzy when she was tired. I hastily made an eye appointment for her the following week. After the technician did her thing and the doctor looked and then dilated and then looked some more....he concluded that she is far sighted with a slightly lazy right eye. I had noticed the lazy right eye in the past, but didn't think that much about it, because it only happened every now and then when she was extremely tired.

Well, she needs glasses. And by wearing them all day, this should help with the fuzzy vision and help strengthen the lazy eye.
