Back to School

After a week with Gigi & Bubba, it was back to school today for Reagan and Cooper. I was worried that they would have a hard time adjusting back to school, but it was no problem for either of them. Reagan was greeted at school by 3 of her friends with big hugs and them asking her if she wanted to play with them ~ of course she did, so she was off and running with a simple blown kiss and bye mom! When I took Cooper to his class, he looked a little confused as to why he was there, but it wasn't long before he was pointing me to the door and saying bye! I think I was the only one who was sad to be back in the normal routine.

Ready for another week of school

Cooper was all about getting kisses from Reagan

How sweet is this?

Our New Best Friend

Cooper loves, loves, loves to open and close the refrigerator door. He opens the door and cleans out the refrigerator and shuts the door. Then, he opens the door and puts everything back in. He repeats this "fun" many, many times a day. We had put a child proof lock on the door from Babies R Us ~ but it was no match for Cooper. He broke it in less than 3 days. So now, we have a bungee cord wrapped around the door handles. Let's see how long it is before he figures this out!

Weekend Fun

After being in Dallas all week for a meeting, then getting home after midnight Thursday night/Friday morning ~ I had to work at least a half day on Friday. So I was able to get home by 12:30pm and spend some much needed quality time with Reagan and Cooper.

Getting ready to play in the water

It was a wonderful, hot and sunny Friday afternoonShe got squirted in the face

She decided she would like to swim in the pool

Such a sweet girl

"It's getting deep in here"

Reagan asked me and Gigi to put on our bathing suits and get in the pool with her. So we did!

Relaxin'

Cooper was napping while the girls were in the pool. When he woke up, he wanted to take care of the baby.

Sporting the latest in diaper bag fashion

Cooper decided to try on daddy's work boots (I believe mom has a picture of me just like this ~ or was it a picture of Kim?)

Cooper got his snack and went and hid in the corner

What a smile!

Not sure if he wants to share his snack

Mmm, mmm good

He decided not to share!

While Cooper was having a snack, Reagan and Greg were doing the weekly grocery shopping. When they returned, Cooper and Reagan hugged like they hadn't seen each other in forever! It was so sweet!

While I Was Gone...

...Reagan, Cooper, Gigi & Bubba had a wonderful week of playing and spending time together. While not many pictures were taken in my absence, a great time was had by all. They went to the Science Center to see "Smiley" (Reagan's favorite stingray):went to Greensboro to Gigi's niece's, Jane, house to swim and play with Jane's granddaughter Hailey (and let me add, Reagan learned how to "shut her mouth, hold her nose and go under the water" all by herself); they had a field trip to the mall to ride the carousel and play at the indoor playground; and last but not least they went to the park to swing and slide.

Today is the only day Reagan and Cooper will be going to school this week. Gigi and Bubba are coming to visit and help Greg while I go to Dallas for a business trip.

This is the best picture I could get of the both of them this morning
