Update

A couple of weekends ago we took the kids to the zoo. Addison has been there a couple of times since we brought her home, but she never really seemed interested. This time she LOVED it!!! At first she was a little scared, but we told her it wasn't scary and she was okay with it. She loved seeing the elephants and monkeys!! Nathan always the trooper thought it was great. We had bought Addison a "leash" a few months ago and kept it in the stroller. Addison saw it and wanted to wear it. We kept asking if she was all done with it and she told us know. I guess we became some of "those" parents.

Addison goes back to the craniofacial team on Tuesday. We are anxious to hear what they have to say. We think the skin above her top lip is pulling on her nose. We can see scar tissue that we didn't before. The surgeon did say that he was going to have to build up that area - it just may happen sooner rather than later.

Spelling

Okay - I am sure you have all seen my spelling mistakes:-) Please just ignore them....sometimes my brain just works faster than my fingers!!! You would have thought I would have learned to use spellcheck by now!!

Addison's First Day of School

Addison had her first day of preschool on Tuesday. She will be going for four hours twice a week, however this past week she went for two, then this week it will be for three. They try to make the transition as easy as possible.

Addison has done pretty good. They said the first day that she didn't ask for me or cry. However on Thursday when I went to pick her up they said off and on that she cried and asked for me. I know that she will eventually get used to it and love it. I am really looking forward to a few hours of "me" time.

Nathan's been doing good. He missed part of Tuesday because he was a little "off" but he bounced back. So far (knock on wood) he hasn't picked up any big bugs....though I am sure it is a matter of time.

The slideshow has pics of our trip to Fort Washington over Labor Day Weekend.

Then & Now

My mom sent me this outfit that I wore when I was Addison's age...so many years ago! The funny thing is that it is back in style. I thought I post the pics of us side by side.

Wordless Wednesday

Nathan's First Day

Nathan had a great first day back at school. He was tired though, he fell asleep pretty early. Addison and I visited him at school and got these pics of him with Miss Jill, his teacher, and the two aides in the class - Maria & Susan.

Summer

I can't believe summer is over. Nathan starts back to school tomorrow and then Addie will start next week. I will miss the lazy days of summer and the sleeping in, but I am also looking forward to having a few hours to myself. Nathan enjoys school so much, so I know he will have a great time tomorrow. I made a little collage of some of my favorite pics from this summer.
