A New Beginning....

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11


This week the girls started at their new daycare. They have been at home since I went back to work last year so this is their first daycare experience. I was really nervous for them. They have never slept on a cot or had to sit in a chair for snack/lunch. I was just worried that they wouldn't be able to do these things. Well....there was no need to worry....they did great! They napped their first day and were able to sit at the table and eat their food without getting up. I am guessing they saw the other kids and just joined right in.

Their teacher did ask me on the second day if they slept in the same bed. They don't and haven't since they were 3 months old. Well...apparently...they were trying to sleep on the same cot. How sweet! On Thursday, they decided that was too hard (one kept falling off the cot) and they moved to their individual cots.

They seem to be having a great time. They get to play outside. They are around other children their age. I know this is a really good change for them. We love their daycare. This week they carved pumpkins and did several craft projects. Next week they are having a Halloween party and get to wear their costume! I wish I could be fly on the wall! 

 It was also picture day this week. They took individual pics and they also took one of them together. Here is a picture of them getting ready for their one of their pictures....
Here's a picture of them outside on the playground.....

This is been an adjustment for all of us. Jeff and I are having to get up a little earlier to get the girls ready and off to school before we head to work. It's been well worth it though. I am excited to see all the new things they will learn. They come home every day exhausted and if dirt equals fun, then Libby and Logan are having the time of their life!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

This past weekend we drove up to Fort Payne to visit with my family. We decided to take all the kids to the Pumpkin Patch in Rainsville. We had a great time and it wore all the kids out!



First stop was....THE CORN PIT! Sounds exciting huh? The girls weren't sure what to think of it at first. But, once they went down the slide....they decided it was pretty fun after all.



Here's Libby's first trip down the slide...


She just looked stunned at first and then..



she just giggled.....


and threw corn in the air!!!!








 They loved the big kid slide too. Here's Logan at the bottom. She kept getting turned around by the time she got to the bottom.


Time to look for pumpkins...............



And now for my favorite picture from the day......




HOW CUTE IS THAT????

First Trip to T-Town...

Yesterday we took the girls to Tuscaloosa for the first time. Jeff and some of his friends set up a tent near the Quad. So, we decided we would take the girls down for their first tailgating experience. I am sure some people think we are crazy for taking two 1 1/2 year olds to such a crowed place. It was estimated that 200,000 people were there Saturday. That's crazy.  I guess we just have always taken them places. From the time they were very little, we have always "gone and done".  These little girls saw the beach when they were 3 months old. They took their first airplane ride across the country at 9 months old. I guess we have never been intimidated by taking them places.


So...off to T-Town we went. THE GIRLS LOVED IT! They love to people watch. We saw several dogs and that always gets their attention. Grandpa bought the girls Bama hats, Bama dolls, and Pom Poms. They were decked out from head to toe with Bama gear complete with their Bama strollers. We really wanted them to be able to see the band marching to the stadium but we were unable to stay because we wanted to make it back home before kick off.  I have a lot of patience with them but not enough to actually take them to a game. We'll wait a few years for that!

Here are some pics from the day...























We had such a good time!  The weather was perfect and we beat those Gators! Couldn't ask for a better day!! RTR!!
