Oopsy Daisies

The summer ended for us August 12th, that is when Jac started kindergarten. We tried to prepare her as much as we could but, she still felt quite a bit of anxiety. She is not one for change, and transitions tend to be hard on her. I was feeling quite anxious myself because she was so anxious. Once the first week was down all of us were quite relieved. She has now been in school for about a month and still doesn't love it. She says that they have to do too much work, and not enough play time. It has been quite a shock compared to preschool. She has on average 45 min of homework at night, and its KINDERGARTEN! So all to say this has been a big transition for her and us, but know that it will be a great year, we just need to give it time :)

She looks so little



So... my parents were in town for a couple of weeks and it was perfect timing in so many ways. They got to be there for Jac's first day of school, for one of their favorite Volleyball tournaments that Megs plays in, and Megs and Jared also had a 4d ultrasound done to find out what they are having. Both of their families were there, and it was such a special moment to be apart of.







Hooray! A boy, finally! My sister was shocked, and Jared was relieved :)

Then... Buggie started school. She couldn't have been more ready. She is quite the opposite of Jac in almost every way. She couldn't sleep because she was so excited, the night before she had her outfit picked out down to her shoes and socks. We took her to school, and she just waved goodbye and wanted us to leave. It was pretty cute.
So now twice a week for 3 hours I have time all to myself! It is an amazing feeling :)





Then... the waiting began. The waiting for what you may ask? Waiting to get the phone call from my dear friend Katy. Her and her husband have been in the process of adopting a baby girl from Korea, and she asked me to go with her to Korea since her hubbie, Matt needed to stay behind and watch their boys. We new it would most likely be late August early September so, we were preparing as much as we could to "be ready" for the call.



This is a paper crane mobile I made for Gracyn's room. Each origami has a prayer/blessing written in the inside by one of Katy's friends for Gracyn.





This is Katy's oldest Hudson, (Jac's best friend and "prince")





Buggie sometimes wants to give Hudson a kiss too. I love Hudson's face in this picture.

And... we got the call! That will be my next post :)
