apple picking fun!
these are long overdue as we went apple picking over 2 weeks ago, but i finally had the chance to edit a couple snaps. despite getting maybe 10 apples, the kids had a lot of fun. the orchard has a great little play area complete with burlap maze, hay rides, face painting, bounce house, jungle gym, petting zoo-i'm probably forgetting something, but you get the idea!

shot to the heart...
there are those few precious moments when you realize just how deeply you love your child, and tonight was one of them. jack just poked his head out to let me know he was going to go to the bathroom, and when he was finished he poked his head back out and let me know he was going to bed, but not before telling me "good night and i love you." now maybe it is the pregnancy hormones, but it brought tears to my eyes...all at once he was this little baby that i brought home almost five years ago and this grown-up boy, who till manages to make my heart swell. and now i have tears streaming down my face because i am overcome with immense love....what an awesome feeling.

1st day of pre-k!!!!
it is hard to believe that we are embarking on jack's 5th year, but alas we are. my little baby, who stole my heart from the moment i held him, is growing up way too fast. there is no more baby in his face, all the little chub is gone, and as you will see from his picture this morning, he is certainly growing like a weed!
he was so excited to go this year, there was only the tiniest bit of apprehension when i mentioned to him that he might not be able to wave to me from the window because he was in a different classroom. when we arrived and he saw that there was in fact a window, all the apprehension diminished and he barely even hugged me good-bye-lol!?
after pick-up, which is the most chaotic experience one can imagine, jack told me that he had the best day and was so happy to be back. he talked about seeing his friends from last year, and who he played with. of course he mentioned maddie, whom i'm not sure i have mentioned before, but they have a bit of a thing for each other! actually, how he put it was like this:
me: did you see maddie today?
j: yup.
me: did you play with her?
j: well, she didn't see me until circle time and then she sat right next to me.
me: was it good to see her?
j: yeah. she came over while i was reading, and sat right next to me. she really wore me out!
i kid you not, i about fell over when he told me how she wore him out. if only i had it recorded, because he told the story in the deepest, most grown-up voice!? jack, you have no idea, this is only the beginning, girls will wear you out for the rest of your life!
the annual first day picture, was taken indoors this morning no thanks to mother nature and her torrential downpour!

hilton head!
as promised, albeit a bit late. here are some of my favorites from vacation this year. the weather was definitely not the best we've ever had, but it was probably the most fun. we were 3rd row this year, so heading to the beach was a breeze and the kids loved it!
