Loss #7

Reagan lost her 7th tooth tonight.  It had been loose and on the verge of falling out for over a week now, but she didn't want anyone to pull it.  So tonight on the way to brush her teeth, it literally just fell out into her hands.  She was so excited, she was doing "the lost tooth dance"!  She can't wait for the tooth fairy to come tonight!!

In other big news, today is Gigi and Bubba's 52nd wedding anniversary!  We celebrated the day with lunch & Menchi's, but sadly no pictures!!!  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Parent Orientation

Tonight was Parent Orientation night at Reagan's school.  It started with a short PTA meeting, then we went to the classrooms to meet with the teachers.  On each desk, Mrs S had the children to write a note to their parent(s).  She asked the parents to write a note back to the kids.  
 
Reagan's teacher is wonderful.  She explained the class rules, schedules, showed us some of their work and we were allowed to look in their text/work books to see what they would be learning this year.

Cruisin'

We rode around the neighborhood again this afternoon.  The neighborhood isn't too big (only 20 houses) so we had to make several trips!

Old & New Friends

This weekend we had some old friends visit us from Texas.  Greg and Dee have known each other practically all their lives.  Dee was in our wedding as was his oldest son Craig.  Dee and his family were in town for Craig's baptism at church, so it was the perfect opportunity to see each other again.  We hadn't seen each other since December of 2006 (Reagan was only 8 months old).  Both of our families have expanded since then!!  We were able to see each other last night for a few hours and then went to church & lunch together today.  The visit was short, but we had a great time.  Greg and I are already planning a trip to Texas to see them again!

Second Grade Backpack

Today was the second day of 2nd grade and although Reagan had her backpack for the first day of school, we failed to get a picture of it.  Actually, I just thought she was super-cute today and wanted to get a picture of her!!

 she picked the backpack & lunchbox out all by herself and said it was "the best one at school.  Nobody has one like it".

1st Day of Second Grade

Today was Reagan's first day of 2nd Grade.  It was the first time in almost 8 weeks that we had to wake with an alarm clock!!!  She got right up and couldn't wait to eat her special request breakfast.

 look who's here to join us!  Daddy got home last night after the kids went to bed.  They were thrilled to see him this morning!
 this picture is dark, but it's the best smile of the morning (of course it would be!)
 but we kept trying!
 Cooper can't stand not to be the center of attention
 After school (which was only a half day), we celebrated at Old McDonald's
 Cooper said this was the best smile his mouth would let him have today!
 After we got back home, I tried to get the perfect shot of Reagan and her sign!!
I was so proud of Reagan today.  It has to be hard to walk into a new school where you know no one and don't know where anything is.  My heart was pounding for her.  She did awesome!  She said this was her "best school day ever" and she "just loves her new school and her teacher". 

this is her school work for the day
 she was asked to draw what she did over the summer~
she drew swimming on vacation and moving houses!
