Can you see the difference?

I was uploading pictures today and found this picture of Maggie at 5 days. I looked over to see how different Maggie looks today..... She was wearing the same outfit and had the same blanket on her. I thought it was funny. This is her today at 7 weeks. I think she has grown a little. :)

Emma's First Day of Preschool for the Last Time

Emma was so happy to start preschool this year. I can't believe that she will go to kindergarten next year. She is a joy in our home. Right now, she is able to count to 29 without any help. She knows her colors, shapes and some letter sounds. She writes her name and wants to learn how to read. Her new favorite movie is Annie and she can sing everyone of the songs. She told me that she wants to sing just like Annie.

For Allyson and Kevin ;) and anyone else!

Maggie loves the bath. She has grown kind of rolly in the last month. I love everyone of them. :) Don't let this picture fool you. Maggie rarely cries. I was trying to coax a smile out of her and she wasn't in the mood to play that game. I just thought it was cute picture of her. She looks like an old man to me.Can you see the red hair?

Beth and Emma did a photo shoot with Maggie. I was a little irritated that a 10 year old and 4 year old had propped Maggie up at 6 weeks and left her like this. But I do like this picture.

3 Weeks Old

Maggie is 3 weeks today and growing up too fast for me. At her 2 week check up, she was back up to her birth weight and she had grown 2 inches in length. She is still a docile baby and rarely cries. She is a pretty good sleeper and a great eater. Her legs are getting rolls already. I love it!!

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day for Beth and Jacob. (Not sure why I couldn't get a good shot of them both but this will have to do.) Both of their teachers seem to be really nice. I was a little worried about getting up and getting them ready. Thankfully, the day turned out to be easier then expected. When they got home, I think they talked a mile a minute. It was a wonderful day!

Margret "Maggie" Allyson

July 21st, Maggie made her grand entrance into this world at 10:07am. She weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. I made it to 37 weeks before the doctor decided that my blood pressure was unstable. We went in for an induction Tuesday morning and 4 hours later, had our newest addition in our arms. Maggie is a sweet baby. She rarely cries and loves being held. Beth, Jacob and Emma couldn't be any happier about their new little sister. They love to hold her and take care of her!!

Free Bowling*

I found this website that was offering free bowling* for kids under 15 (* you pay for the shoe rental about 13 bucks for my kids). I am thinking that it would be cheaper to buy bowling shoe since you get 2 free games a day until August 30th. So I decided to sign up and took the kids. The kids had a great time. Beth and Jacob even had strikes. Emma loved the bowling shoes and insisted that her socks were pulled up as high as possible. I thought she looked adorable.
