Preschool

Well, it is official...I satrt preschool next week! Mommy is going to my "meet the teacher" day today and will let me know how she likes it! My class is called "The Busy Bees!" How appropriate! Mommy started back to work last week and I am back at Aunt Stacey's house. I sure LOVE playing with Dyl and Connor. I even got to sleep over with Aunt Holly and Aunt Stacey last Fri night while Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dave went to some concert. Aunt Holly let me sleep with her :) I was so sad to see Aunt Lisa's foot broken. Her surgery is tomorrow. I went to Hank's birthday party at Pump It Up on Saturday and even went down the BIG slide all by myself on my tummy...WHEEEEEE! I am totally obsessed with my new pink pony (named Pinky, of course) that my Aunt Steph got me. Pinky can't sleep in my crib so I have to have the doll's pack and play beside my crib for Pinky to sleep in!I love the weekends with Mommy and Daddy! Here are some things that they think are funny right now...

*I say these ALOT: No way, Jose; I really want...; I'm gonna lay on the couch for just 2 more minutes; Adios Amigos!

*Tonight I said, "I speak English and you speak Spanish ,Mommy" and Mommy thought that was funny and said, "No, baby, M & D speak English like you!" I just smiled and said okay.

*Mommy says I hear everything and I am 2 going on 12! Now that's funny!

Much love,
Savannah Jane

Summer is almost over...

Fun on the slide

My partners in crime, Dyl and Con






Playing Putt-Putt



I have been so fortunate to have spent my whole summer (well, almost!) with little Savannah Jane. She is the light of my life and just being around her makes your whole world different. I am DREADING going back to work and not being with her all day, every day. We have been preparing her, so much so that she says, "When Mommy goes back to work, I go to Stacey's, but I'm gonna miss you!" Now if that doesn't just melt your heart... Okay, onto some "news"...

Our goddaughter, Ashley, who is 13, came and spent a week with us and it was WONDERFUL. We have known Ash since she was a baby and it is amazing to see her with "our baby!" They love each other so much and had a great time together. We visited friends in Charlotte and SJ played with Play-Doh for the first time ( I hate the smell). She loved it! We also went swimming with the twins and to play Putt-Putt last week. It was the first time for all 3 kids and so much fun (except when Dyl hit it so hard it bounced back and popped Connor!), but they both managed to get a hole in one :)

Tasha has taken a backseat to Miss Dora and we have 2 Water Doras and one Night-Night Dora. She is gaga over Dora and is going to flip when she sees her new Dora lunchbox and rolling bookbag from Uncle Dave and Aunt Lisa. She still likes to watch The Backyardigans, but you won't find her w/o a Dora in hand.

Things to look forward to...Aunt Steph comes this wkend (who SJ is dying to see), Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dave come the next two, and PRESCHOOL starts Sept. 3rd!!!!!!

Yep, summer is almost over ( I head back Aug. 14th) and I think what I will miss the most are our daily naps in my bed when she is rubbing my hair and singing songs before quietly drifting off to sleep.
