Family Fun Weekend

This weekend we were lucky enough to have out of town family visiting. Aunt Sue, from Birmingham, and Uncle Randy all the way from Ft. Lauderdale. Friday night we went to Overton Square and had a delicious dinner at Local and dessert at YoLo afterwards. Sorry no pics, we were busy eating crazy amazing bar fries.

Saturday all us girls met for lunch and a little pampering. And lucky for Wesley, her Sissy and Aunt Sue convinced me she should be included in this... So here are some shots from the nail salon.

I think she likes it!

Ridiculous and Adorable all at the same time.

Tiny Hands

Drying

Man it's hard work keeping up appearances!

After a quick nap, we got ready to meet back up with the whole family for dinner and catching up. And whole lot of storytelling. Man, that is my absolute favorite part. Especially as the "outsider" I love hearing all the stories from when Matt was little, or his Dad or Mom...anything. I find it all fascinating.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful time catching up. As you can tell from these snapshots.

Uncle Matt is hilarious!

This is Wesley trying to teach Olivia how to color.

She wouldn't cooperate, so she taped, with a bandaid, the crayon to her hand.

Birthday hugs for Aunt Sue before we go.

Don't forget sweet snuggles with Uncle Randy!

It was a great week and we miss you guys already!! 

First Day of School

Well it the day finally came. Wesley has started big school! Granted, she is in the preK room, so I tried not to get too sentimental because it's not kindergarten yet.... but it's still school. She is at my school this year and we have made a whole week. Which is a miracle, let me tell ya! I barely make it out the door with all I need everyday, and now there's two of us! Matt may have driven to Bartlett twice this week, already, to bring things for us. Thank goodness we have the most organized and patient husband/daddy ever!


Here are a few shots from our first day as a Singerella Sea Turtle (Class mascot).

First time she has ever been up and dressed by 6:50am!

Already sick of pictures and mommy just started.

Showing off her sea turtle necklace from Gamma.

Daddy drove her and walked her in the first day.

The eyes say make it stop people.

We're here!

Looking for our name.

Already busy, no tears, no big deal.

Schools out! The backpack is bigger than she is!

One more grin for Mom!

When we got home we realized the back to school fairy had visited! You know she only comes on the first day of school each year. The picture is really blurry because someone was just too excited to play with her princess present, and she was also D-O-N-E complying with the photographer.

How were your first days back? Everyone liking their new schools/teachers?
