off to college...

Well 3 weeks have passed since we took our baby to college. All I know is that it was way harder to send her off to college than it was to bring her into this world (33 hours of labor with no meds). I cried for 3 days and on day 3 I begged Ron just to let us drive by the school and drop something off. He told me no, the nerve of that man to do what is best for me. He said it was time to stop hovering and he was right. She is doing great and has been home once, needless to say it was time for her to grow up a bit on her own. She has a great roommate, 3 nanny jobs, and likes her profs/classes. Of course, I am counting the days until she is home again, praise God the girl is only an hour and a half away. Its fun to watch her experience new things, like her 1st pet (a fish), getting lost in Kirkland, and having bubble tea.

One of the boy's favorite books says, "Going in, inside a box, on a truck, falling off,
rigth side up.....mama mama I went to town, inside - outside - upside down."
They had a great time living out the story in real life. What the picture doesn't show
is the amount of peanuts that came out of the box. It took daddy and I close to
30 minutes to clean them all up.

No words needed...

The whole family celebrates! One down; two to go.

A few tools to keep the little one quiet during big sisters graduation.
Yes the stickers were removeable, the binky, well that's another story.

A fashion statement only a 23 month old can make.
This picture will certainly be one of his "favorites"
as he grows up.

Congratulations Aliecea!

CeCe did Lisha Bear's hair. I think it is time for a haircut. He is saying "Sheez" for cheese. He loves the camera and strikes this pose each time he hears the camera beep.
