BEKAH'S FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

WOW - what a morning!! I am a wreck people!! This was harder than I thought it would be! Trey, Nate and I dropped off Bekah this morning for her first day of Kindergarten. I didn't think it would be so hard. I didn't cry until I was on my way to work and stopped off to get some coffee - all of a sudden a tear rolled down my face - I wasn't expecting that.. My baby girl - my 6.2 pound baby girl is such a big girl now. I remember how worried I was when she was born b/c she was so little and I sware if one more person told me how little she was - I thought I was going to ... well anyway, Bekah is petite but that doesn't bother her at all. She walked in her room like a big girl and sat in her seat. She was so happy to be there. When she walked in, she saw Cathy Hayne (the principal) and said, "Hey, Ms Principal." It was great. She is such a sweetheart and I am so lucky to have such a funny, beautiful daughter - and smart, smart, smart. Okay - can you tell I am a PROUD mother.. I have to say this too - Trey was emotional and you know he is not that type - I am usually the crybaby. But he said, which I thought was so sweet, "Your first day of kindergarten - before you know it, I'll be walking you down the aisle." He wasn't kidding. Oh and as we were getting ready this morning Bekah said she was "SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED!" Here are some photos of the morning - I have video of her walking in to class - of course my battery runs out right as she is going into class - but thank goodness for the flip video! :) And I'll take more photos of her when I go pick her up this afternoon! Nate was laughing the whole way to her school by the way. He was too cute and he only has a few more years until we do this all over again!

PREVIEW

I'm not kidding when I said that I honestly thought Bekah's school started Friday. I was wrong - it starts tomorrow! I love my new job in so many ways but this is one of the many reasons - they were so understanding when I told them I had to get ready for school. So I took Bekah to get her new shoes and we got everything ready for tomorrow - Bekah wanted to try her new uniform on for tomorrow. We also taped the carpool number to the car and put the sticker on the back of the minivan!! I love it! Nate even tried on her bag! Now b/c Bekah is petite (much like her Mumu) She is going to have some trouble with her uniform being a tad bit big b/c they don't make them much smaller!! She looks ADORABLE!!

WE MEET BEKAH'S TEACHER - MS MASON

Bekah starts school TOMORROW! This whole time I was thinking it was Friday until I went to the ice cream social to meet her new teachers. I felt like an idiot!! Oh well - what else is new?? HAHA! Anyway these are Bekah's new teachers!! Don't they look so sweet!! Mrs. Mason is her teacher (in the green) and Mrs Brunson is the assistant teacher (in white). They were both so sweet and great and Bekah took to them!! I'm so excited!!

And the news gets even better!! GUESS WHO IS IN BEKAH'S CLASS??? MILES!! YAY!! We were very excited to learn that they would be in the same class. I mean who would have thought when we met Betsy and Michael in our birthing class at Baptist (when we were pregnant with Bekah and Miles) that they would be in the same class at the same school? How crazy is that? We are so so so so excited!
















So at Covenant - they have an after school program that Bekah will go to called Outback. They offer the kids activities and Bekah has signed up for Karate and Cheerleading!! She is very excited! The lady in pink is her new cheerleading teacher...

So this is a funny - Bekah just watched Matilda (the movie) for the first time the other day. In that movie (if you haven't seen it), there is an ugly, mean principal and she is horrible to the children. So Bekah has been asking me all week about the principal at her new school. She was very concerned that she would be mean and I kept reassuring her that this was not the case. So today when we got to the school I found the principal and she gave Bekah a great big hug (she is in the black) Let me tell you how relieved Bekah was!!! :)

N'hood Night Out!

Tuesday night we had the N'hood Night Out and while it wasn't a great turn out (likely b/c of the heat), it was still fun to hang out with the Dennys and some of the other neighbors. I mainly took photos of the kids and the Dennys though! And we will be seeing A LOT more of the Dennys b/c...........................

SO CUTE!

Saturday night I came home from taking photos for the N'side Sun and I just started taking photos of the kids. I love how Bekah loves on Nate and he just eats it up!! :)

Friday night!

We are back to our regular Friday night outings with the Milans. We met up at the Thai House and let me just say that we got dirty looks the whole time from the owner... We made him very nervous which in turn made me very nervous and I couldn't enjoy my meal - I was very disappointed b/c I love that place. We made up for it by going to Bops and getting some ice cream!! Look at Liv and Nate hugging - how cute!!

HONK HONK

Last night - Trey was playing a game with Bekah and Nate! This is great. Of course, I ruined the moment at the end!! HAHAHA!

Dancers

So we all love "So you think you can Dance." (Well, not Trey). But last night, there was a little kid that could break dance and Bekah and Nate tried to copy this little guy. It was so funny!!
