I'm Back! :)

Well, It has been a crazy, fun filled summer. It has been almost two months since I posted anything on my blog. I've never taken this long of an intentional hiatus from my blog. We've just been having so much fun and have been so busy. Now that school has started up agin, I have found that I have much more time to think about this and that. So... I'm back! 

I have SO many things that I need to catch up on so I'll start 
little by little.

FIRST - I'd like to say that Ethan started Preschool!!!! 
Sob, sob, sob... 

This little guy as grown up so much faster than I ever expected. I always knew it would be fast, but NOT THIS FAST .'( I've always been a huge fan of school shopping, getting crayons, N0 2 pencils, new cloths and all that. So in a way I was excited for him to start school. I had so much fun going shopping with him. Even though we had major issues finding the right size of cloths for this little guy. Size 3 fit him just fine around the waist but no way in the length. And size 4 are huge on him. So I guess by the middle of the year, they will fit just right. Right?!?

My Mom taught preschool since I was a little girl. I always was amazed at how big the backpacks were on such little kids. SO... I went online and found Him the right size backpack for him.
It is so cute on him.

So the first day of school came.


We talked about the school Do's and Don'ts. Listen to your Teacher, sit on the rug when it's story time, play nice with all the other kids etc.... After lunch, I dressed him up, made sure his hair was just right. Took TONS of Pictures, and walked him to School. I was so excited for this new chapter in his life. Told him that he is going to have so much fun and meet lots of new friends. 



Said my Goodbye's.....
              And cried the whole way home. 

Now... He has been going to Preschool for two and half weeks. He knows just how to get there and everyday we walk home we have to stop at the river and throw a rock into it. He loves Preschool and has lots of new friends. He is learning so much and comes singing the new songs he has learned. His favorite is Mr. Alligator Can't Catch Me. 

And as far as me and Todd. We have been enjoying our one on one time together.
