Firsts

Today is a day of firsts in our house. Selah's first day of preschool at a new school. Naomi's first day as a six year old. Mira's first day with just mom and no older sisters. My first official day of living in our minivan...so much driving! All good things (except for the part about the minivan), they'll just take some getting used to.

The Family Bird

We attached a feeder to our kitchen window about a month ago and now have a daily visitor. Often times he's there and gone in a matter of seconds, but on this particular day, he sat for a few minutes, completely still. It was fascinating.

First Day

It doesn't seem possible but my baby girl went to first grade today! I know she's ready and so very excited and that helps ease any anxiety over her days. It's going to be a fantastic year!

Goodbye Summer

School officially begins on Thursday which means it's time to bid our summer days farewell. It's bittersweet! We had a summer full of monumental moments and lots of fun - the picture above captures it well. That said, this school year promises to be wonderfully surprising and memorable and we can't wait to get started.

Haircuts

Nom & Selah with their new dos.

The girls have been talking about getting their haircut for weeks. They also had very specific requests and preferences going into the appoitment. Naomi was insistent on bangs (even though Sam, their stylist, and I had our reservations) and Selah a short cut to her cheeks. Their inspirations were different but the results are great. The girls LOVE what Sam did for them and are extremely happy campers. Mission accomplished!

Dancing Girls

Too busy around here to post much these days, but the dance parties continue.
