Ahh, the Memories

A friend made a trifle for dessert last night. I have been thinking of this scene since then.

My two favorites from last night

Doing some photography

Hey all. Yesterday I had my first client so now, "This Little Light Photography" has been born. Check out my link. I did some work on that blog yesterday. It was so much fun to do. I hope to have more sessions soon so I will get to post some more slideshows.

Truman's First Day of School

I am a bad mom. Truman started school on Tuesday and here it is Friday and I haven't posted his first day of school picture. Truman started MMO in January and loved it. He went one day a week. So on Tuesday he started and is going 3 days a week. He loves it after I leave. He doesn't want me to go, though. His teachers are Ms. Vanessa (who Walker had) and Ms. Grace. He is the only one walking in his class of 6.

This is a picture of the day after Truman's first day back in January. We were running late the first day.

Here is Truman on Tuesday.

I am officially the mother of a PRESCHOOLER!!!

Walker started preschool today. He loved it. He has been going to Mother's Morning Out since he was 5 months old, but today he went to preschool. He is going 3 days a week, just like the last 2 years. He loves his teacher, Miss Valerie. He did art work and pottied by himself. So, in honor of the first day, here is Walker on his previous first days of school.

Is he a boy or what?

Eye Virus, Walking, Beth Moore and more...

Boy, the past week seems to have just flown by. I really can't believe that Truman is ONE already. He is walking everywhere and getting faster and faster and more sure of himself everyday. He is starting to feed himself with a spoon and says so many words. His favorite being "out". I hear it all day long. He wants to go outside. It is his favorite place to be. That is not so much my favorite place these days, though, with temps in the 100s.

This past week, I have had a nasty virus in my eye. Let me tell you, I would have rather had another child...no meds.

This weekend some friends and I went to the Beth Moore Living Proof Live Simulcast. It was a blast and so much fun to share this experience with 70,000 other women...and a few men from 4 different countries and every state but New Hampshire.

Saturday night, out group of friends came over for a cookout. An hour before we had a huge hail storm (the biggest I have seen) and so we did a quick vacuum of the house since we would all be inside instead of out. We had a great time and Audrey made the most awesome coconut cake. I can't wait to make it myself.

We went to feed the ducks yesterday and to let the boys play in the fountain. They had a great time and we all got to take naps yesterday afternoon.

Here are some pictures of our weekend.
