Happy National Talk Like a Pirate Day!

My Babies

These were all taking in the hospital. Can you tell who each picture is of?

LillaB is 1 week old.

My sweet LillaB is one week old today.

I can't believe it's only been a week. It feels like she has been with us so much longer.

Oh, Silas

I love my little boy!

Silas is leaving to go to Nanny and Pops for the week.

He said "Mommy where are mine shoes." and I replied "Can we cuddle a little before you leave." Silas "yes"

We cuddled and then he looked at me and "said okay you done now. I do love you"
and I said "I love you too"
Silas looked at me and said "I am going to pops and you don't worry about me."

He's growing up, sniff, sniff.

I love my little boy.

Ain't about how fast I get there

I'm not a fan but the words to this song are really good.

"I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll Never Reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb.

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking."

excerpt from The Climb by Miley Cyrus

Quotes by Ellie & first day of school update.

Ellie said "we had to raise our hands when we had a question and I had a million questions."

Ellie said "at lunch i sat by a blue shirted guy and white shirted girl and a black shirted guy, good thing I wore stripes."

It seems that she had a good day.

I hope she was well behaved, listened and cleaned up her area.

It's here the official 1st day of Kindergarten

Wow, I can't believe it's here!

I didn't talk about it much yesterday because I didn't want Ellie to get anxiety and not be able to get to sleep. We went to bed at 8:10 and by 8:15 she was out, no worries there. Now for me it was another story. I went to bed and laid there for a little over 2 hours eyes wide open with anxiety for my little girl.

So 6:15 this morning came way to soon. We got up, got ready had breakfast and we were off. It was a foggy morning.


We had a great drive to school and traffic wasn't that bad. Here a couple of pics we took once we got there.



I dunno why she decided to put her bottom lip in her mouth. I think maybe she was a little nervous.

I gave Ellie a hug and told her that I was leaving and reassured her that she was going to have a great day full of fun.
I left and walked quickly to the car thinking the whole time, I can make it to the car before I break down. Then as I was pulling out there was Julie Evans. The tears were held back a little longer. I try so hard not to cry in front of anyone. I made it till I got home. Eli left for work and I kind of lost it a little and am even tearing up now. But I know she will have a great day and she will be ok. Someone will help her open her lunch and be there for her if she can't get her pants buttoned after using the bathroom.
I am really proud of her she was a big girl this morning. I think when we arrived she got nervous but she stood strong and I think maybe tried to be like mommy and not cry in front of her teacher or classmates.
This is a good thing and everything is going to be great.
I love my little tiger!
