First Day of School 2009

Cute girlies ready for their first day of school... they were both so happy to be going back. Isabelle started fourth grade if you can believe that?? and Abby is in second... Claire starts Kindergarten next Wednesday...
Here's my cute, smart, preppy little girls. I love you adorable little munchkins!

Zach wanted in on the action too... I think this is his prepping to say "Cheese" face...
We decided to walk the kids for their first day back, Chris was even the hero Dad who went into work late so he could walk them and be there to drop them off and kiss them goodbye their first day, he really is such a great Dad!! And sometimes I don't give him enough credit for that, so I'm publicly giving you credit Chris... you are a fantastic Dad!! And I couldn't help taking thic picture of Claire and her friend Kate, they were too cute! I would have a pic of Chris walking the girls but most of you know, that he's always 20 paces ahead of me... ;)

Here's Abigail in front of her new class, her teacher this year is Mrs. Ewell.
Isabelle thought it was hilarious that one of her best little friends had almost the same outfit as her... we had to take a picture of the cute twins, this is her friend Ciera Marshall, aka, CiCi!
Isabelle and Abigail had their first day back at school yesterday, and I'm honestly not sure who was more excited!? They are both SO happy with their new teachers and have fun friends in their classes, so we're all good to go! And of course, their proud little daddy!

Isabelle Is Spoiled!

Isabelle's sisters were very worried about Belle's birthday since we were not planning a friend party for her. They were afraid she was missing out or somehow being deprived- let me assure you that she is in no way deprived, in fact she was spoiled rotten!!

I redecorated her whole bedroom, and am still finishing an awesome quilt for it. We also got her a new pink bike with matching pink helmet! And a cute new outfit complete with new shoes! Grandma Grace sent her a special music box, and couldn't decide between two, so apparently another one is still on it's way. Grandma Connie and Grandpa Mark got her her very own guitar! And she loves it, Chris was trying to teach her some chords last night. And her Aunt Patty took her by herself for a day of shopping, she was planning on getting her an outfit, and Isabelle came home with 3 cute outfits complete with accessories, and they even went to lunch!

So, yes, Isabelle had a fantastic birthday that dragged out for more than a month of gifts, and she was absolutely spoiled rotten!! Thanks everyone for showing such love and care towards Isabelle! She is growing too fast into such a pretty and smart girl!
