Catching up...

It has been a busy, but wonderful summer. I apologize for not keeping up with the blog better. Hopefully getting back into a routine will help me out with this, too! Below are several pictures from the last several weeks. They are in backward order, sorry.

We started back to work last week. It was only 3 days of work before the weekend, which was good for me and Ryne. We really missed each other. Cantley on the other hand was angry at us when she couldn't go to Memaw's on Saturday. The social butterfly she is was ready to be back with her friends another day. Ryne is doing really well with Memaw as I knew she would. We are all adjusting to a lot of new things around here. Jonathan has been back coaching football for several weeks now. As Junior High Head Coach, he has his hands full. He is still helping with Sr. High football as well. We all miss him terribly during the week, but again we are adjusting.

Cantley will start Pre-K on Wednesday. She has a great teacher and is so excited about going each day. We bought her school supplies so she is set.

Ryne is changing daily. She is such a good baby. She has been sleeping through the night for weeks and slept for almost 12 hours last night. Like Cantley, she woke up smiling. She has started "talking" to us often and enjoys checking out lots of things around her. Some of her favorite things to look at are the letters spelling her name on her wall and the monkeys that hang from the light in her room. Those monkeys get her smiling and talking often times. It's really cute to watch.

Enjoy the pics below. I will try to update this week with pictures of Cantley's first day of school. I am anxious to see which will get more tears-Ryne first day away from me or Cantley's first day of school!!!!

The dress up queen!
Cantley and Ryne watching t.v. together! (or so it seems)

She finally figured out how to suck her thumb. We tried to
work on the paci, but this is what she wanted all along!

My smiling bug!

Ryne playing dress up with Cantley and Gracie! She was
supposed to be Snow White!

Trust me, this was well supervised!
