Cailee’s first day of 3 year old preschool

I am a little late in posting this. Cailee’s first day of school was a week ago. I tried to get her to pose – but her new thing is to want to pose for a picture but to refuse to look at the camera. Maybe this is a new model-esque pose that she’s got…

Its what’s for lunch

On Sunday, after church, we went to the Durham food truck rodeo. I am sure when I look back on this blog in the future I will laugh at this post as I have a feeling food trucks might become more the norm then the exception, but right now they are still a novelty (at…

Connor hits up Gymboree

When Cailee was 18 months old we signed her up for Gymboree and it proved to be a good thing so we decided to do the same for Connor. Poor guy is always on the sidelines watching his big sister have all the fun at Little Gym, soccer, puggles, preschool – now it was finally…

My little fishy rocket

So Cailee had her first (and last) official soccer practice this weekend as a member of the rockets er fishies team (the first game is next weekend).

Impromptu

Just a little impromptu photo shoot on our walk today, “pretty gal with the pearls and the pigtails (and lots of personality & posin’ to boot)” is what I would call this picture.

My little monkies

So this is me procrastinating the real work I should be doing tonight (where my party planning skills will be put to good use in CA in the upcoming weeks), so instead I figured I would update everyone on our weekend. We had a busy saturday – a two-fer so to say. In the morning…

On the move – videos from beach week

I realize now that I didn’t really get the most exciting videos. They don’t even really show the kids in the height of any water activity, but you get the gist of it and at least I have something for the books. Note to self – I need to work on putting down the SLR…

Cool dude

Needless to say I was having too much fun with this ensemble and Connor must have been enjoying the attention too as he was quite content to model his hat and shades (I am used to Cailee just tearing off anything I put on her head). Connor actually walked up the driveway and down the…
