Something is Missing...


(Those are her adult teeth! Yes, they have been coming in for a while now)



So excited that it came out at school!

In the baggie they gave her at school.




So cute- this is my favorite picture we took


getting sick of taking pictures.



My BIG girl- guess the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight!

Eva

Our sweet baby is an official elementary schooler. She's started her schooling career this week. The way kindergarten works around here is they have an interview with the teacher, so she can get to know where your child is at and then there is a "soft start" day where only half the class goes. The way things were this year Eva had her school pictures before she even started school!
Anyway, this is what she picked out for her school pictures...she totally picked out the headband, so cute, right?! And this is what she wanted to wear on her first day of school...can you see the excitement?Of course Elle wanted to jump in on the shot- yes that's Elle bed head.

Kissing daddy bye.

Outside her classroom, at the point she just wanted to get inside the actual room.At her seat with her name tag on. At this point, her teacher said, go ahead and pick out a book and sit on the rug.
Eva went right over the the bookshelf and thoughtfully picked out a book...

She sat in the beanbag (smart choice) and just started reading. I got this picture right before I left. I was so proud of her, she was just ready and it totally brought tears to my eyes, I'm so proud of her.

When we went to pick her up she was beaming and so excited to tell me everything that went on that day. Tomorrow is the end of her first full week of kindergarten, she's done really well and I couldn't be more proud of our sweet baby girl becoming kid.

UPDATE

Jeremy's father survived his surgery and is in recovery now. So far there are no signs of paralysis and he's responsive to his name. Please keep his recovery in your prayers, thank you so much.

Prayers Needed

My wonderful father in law experienced a blood stroke and partial aneurysm today. He is stable now but will be going into surgery in the morning. He has a team of doctors coming together to keep him alive. My dear sweet mother in law is at his side and has nothing with her, they life flighted him and she happened to be at the hospital with a friend, she has no purse on her at all.
Please pray for his doctors and for him. Please pray for my mother in law to feel peace, I pray that someone is willing to serve her where she is, that she can get food and sleep.
Please keep them in your prayers.
Love, Christa

Sleep-o-holics

There's nothing sweeter than a child that has passed out. I'm dead serious. Especially one who refuses to let go of the chocolate graham crackers...

And to see your sweet 5 year old daughter pass out is even better. Kids never give into the temptation of a nap...passing out during dinner is the highlight of our year!
(Of course Elle takes every opportunity to pose and smile...she had no idea Eva was asleep)
So sweet. And yes, yes that is a Pokemon shirt...barf.
