Kindergarten

My big girl is in school now! She's just starting her third week and seems to like it ok. She doesn't get in to trouble, she says she has some new friends, and she likes recess. It's a really long day for her though and she doesn't look forward to it each morning. Hopefully the school work will get harder soon so she isn't as bored.

remembering

There are some days when I can't help thinking about what might have been. Today is one of those. I was so happy when I found out I was pregnant back in November of 2010.

Our baby was due in mid July. The spacing between the kids was going to be just how I wanted, it would be our first summer baby, and I secretly hoped we would have a little boy.

If things had gone differently we would be celebrating a first birthday this weekend. We would have a little one toddling around after the girls and learning to say a few words. There would be cake smashing and laughter and new toys on the floor. Instead there are tears, and what ifs, and prayers that there might still be another child in our future.

he's home :)

soap clouds

I cut a bar of Ivory soap in half and let each girl microwave their half for about a minute. Then they squished it and crumbled it and had a great time. http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2012/01/ivory-soap-explosion.html
