So I missed a few minutes of changing the header, we were too busy packing and moving and enjoying summer :) Anytime it's the 2012 Sally's representing the stage Libby is currently at and Libby is representing the stage Emma is at.

It's just Emma and I at home for a couple of nights. Reid took the Bigs to Great Grandma Gen's farm, for the annual family help weekend! We're enjoying lots of dancing, snuggling, organizing and cleaning!!
Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? The Gopher's kickoff their season tonight, of course my husband is going. He also had his Fantasy Draft last Sunday.
My family started our college football draft.
Fall is coming.
But before that, HOLY HEATWAVE!
I let Emma open an early birthday present :)
Our Neighbor had a garage sale, they had a dress up bin full of costumes for a dollar each, I picked up a few gems for the girls. Some not pictured as they're too awesome to reveal, they might wear them for Halloween :)
When we walk around the pond, at the end or the beginning, depending on what side you start, there are a few paths that lead up in to the woods. The other night we took the girls on them, they thought it was the best thing ever. They call it the forest. Will be so pretty during all of the seasons!
You can't see it in the picture, but there was a Parachuter in the sky :)
"Dews" Emma-Emmers-Emmer Dews-Dews :) She's busy busy busy lately, crawling, bear crawling, pulling herself up, walking along things. Thankful for the extra space, but also thankful for the gate! She loves to explore!
One of her first swing rides, weeeeeeee. When you have 3 and the other 2 request underdogs, it's not always easy to take the 3rd out of the stroller, where she's perfectly happy and content to add a 3rd swinger. But then, sometimes you remember she's the 3rd and she needs to have fun too :)

We went for a little walk around the 'hood. Emma was waving and waving and waving to anything and everything :)
Loving her cute new outfit from Meggers, thank you!! Helping to make Sally's last day of summer meal request. Brats, corn on the cob and Mac N Cheese
This was a great idea, until we served the food and the bees came swarming, at least we got a photo :)
One of the strawberries from our plants was picture perfect and ready to be picked. LJ was so excited!
Trying to give her some one on one while Emma naps and Sally's at school. Painting, her favorite...after tea parties, which I'm about to set up in 10 minutes per her request if she takes a good nap.
She loves the hill, over and over and over. Keeps her busy and burns some energy while we wait for Sally's bus
Dews LOVES to be outside. She gets a silly little giggle when she sees we're headed to go outside. She will crawl and explore all day, and eat grass!
Emma has been waking up at 6am, not complaining, she naps a total of 4 hours during the day and sleeps 11.5 hours at night. She and I have been going on morning walks, they are soooooo peaceful, even the baby babble adds to it. The crazy fog added to the beautiful scenery this morning.
I'm also LOVING Father Mike's podcasts. I would HIGHLY recommend them, even if you're not Catholic! Check them out HERE You could listen when you're driving, working out or just hanging out. :) At least try one to see what I'm talking about.
Little lover of reading! Reading little sister her newly picked Library book before heading to the bus. She's still loving school and hasn't complained about switching schools. Mom's loving it as well!! Libby had her preschool assessment yesterday (From what I heard (I didn't get to be in the room), she's a "smarty pants") and when we were walking in the Firsties were at recess, so it was fun to spot Sally. She fit right in. When L was done with her assessment the Firsties were at lunch so we got to peek at Sally again, she was loving her chicken nuggets!
Happy September Ya'll! One of these days I'll get the header/boarder switched :)
I want to shine your light so bright in my school." Amen

Sally had an awesome first day of school. I only got a little teary-eyed as we quickly jumped in the car to follow her bus to school, to walk her in. Teary-eyed because I'm so very proud of my girl. She was so excited to start school, and a new school at that! She hasn't complained once about the move or having to leave her friends. She truly trusts in the Lord and her parents and loves to learn and meet new people. I'm so very proud of my girl!
Her sisters weren't as excited that she was leaving :)
Love that you can see Reid and I in the reflection :)
But then Libby remembered she might see Sally at school when she's there for pre-school
It's pretty amazing having the bus come an hour and 15 minutes later than it did last year. We are still very lucky that it picks up and drops off right outside our house. So fun to have neighbors riding on the bus as well. She's the last one picked up in the morning and the first dropped off, so that's nice she's not wasting so much time on the bus.
It was Daddy's "first" day too. He accepted a new role at Best Buy...making his mark already, very proud of him as well!! He was able to have a late start to join in the first day of school festivities.
She made it off the bus, still all smiles! Was fun to drop her off in her classroom
30 minutes later at the same school, Libby got to have her meet and greet in preschool! Poor Emmers, it was right during her nap time. She was a champ and did fall asleep in the ergo!
She can't wait to officially start next week!
We're pretty excited to learn that they do car drop off and pick up. I don't have to get out of the car, or bring Emma in or out. The teacher greet Libby and will load her up. Rainy days and cold winter days will be a dream come true!
Libby remembered the tradition of first day of school chocolate chip cookies. She kept it a secret for a whole week, I was impressed.
