Fly little birdie!

Zoey has started preschool.  In many ways, it was a lot easier to send her than Samantha since we have been through this before.  But she is my baby and it is still a mixed emotion type thing. I know she will thrive, she is such a free spirit and will love all the activities, friends, and teachers.  And I definitely need the time to get things done.  But it is hard at the same time.


She met her teacher.  She is super sweet and very organized.  She seems like she can handle our little spit fire.

Zoey usually gets up pretty early.  But last night she was up for a bit to go potty and she ended up sleeping in.  She was so hard to wake up and super cranky about getting dressed.  She came around and was excited about her special pancakes.  I made batter and Nick made her special letter ones.  She recognized them immediately and was happy to take a picture with them.

A quick hair fix and she wanted another picture.

And she was so full of energy it was hard to get a decent picture with her sign.

I still cannot believe how quickly this day has come.  I think the second kid ages faster :)

We stay super busy.  My mom left last Saturday, which was sad.  We miss her tons, but are so thankful she came to help us out in this chaotic time.  She is the BEST!!!  Nick drove her to the airport and we went to Space Center Houston with friends from the neighborhood.  Nick also took the girls to his lab to write on the (whiteboard painted) walls and watch frozen on the projector.  And we squeezed in one last swim before our neighborhood pool closed.  Both the girls like jumping off the diving board, although Zoey still wants help.  Work is still chaotic but I know this semester will mostly likely fly by.  I hope everyone had a great Labor day.
