Ready or not, here she goes...

Still Waiting

Naomi, at her first (half-day) of preschool.

On Sunday, Hurricane Ike ripped through Cincinnati (not to mention the rest of Ohio and beyond) causing serious damage and power outages across the city. We were one of the lucky ones to regain power after a few days...many are still waiting to see "light" and have hot water again.

Due to the outages, most schools, including Naomi's, have been closed and unfortunately, this was supposed to be her first week of preschool. Each night we've excitedly laid out clothes in preparation for her first day, and each morning hopes have been dashed. Bummer! Her official first day will now be Monday.

In an effort to make this week exciting, we've been trying to do some fun things and enjoy time together. Thankfully, the weather has been amazing and we've spent a lot of time outside. Yesterday we fed giraffes at the zoo and decorated Nomi's school bag (and a shirt for Selah) with fabric paint. Below are pictures from the first "half" day, feeding giraffes and fabric painting.

Checking In

Profile and chubby face, head-on. Looks crowded in there.

Our doc's stoic request for another ultrasound to "recheck some measurements" made me nervous after our loss last summer. This morning's result?

"On the money, and by the book." (Her weight and development, that is.)

Sometimes normal is extraordinary.

A Big Kid World

Our girls are growing up way too fast! Naomi starts preschool tomorrow, Selah is totally done with diapers, they share a room and sleep in big beds and pick out their own clothes. As a parent, I want them to become independent and confident and passionate about life AND, it's bittersweet to watch happen right before my eyes.

Below are a few "growing up" pictures...Naomi even writes her own thank you notes now.
