Under the weather...and a very big thank you!

Well I have been quite under the weather since Tuesday...fever, chills, body aches and sore throat.  I still cannot kick it...I would greatly appreciate any prayers you want to lift up in my name! ;)

Thank goodness my mom was here to help out.  She was in town to watch the girls while I was at work but it actually turned out that she cared for me, Chris and the girls.  We are so thankful for her.  She helped us out by doing all of our laundry, ironed our clothes, cooked us a hot meal each night, went grocery shopping for us, took the girls to school and many more things...thank you mom!  We greatly appreciate it.

First Day of Preschool ~ Fall 2012

Caden and Berkley started back at Providence Baptist Church Preschool today.  Caden is in the 4's class and Berkley is in the 2's class.  Caden was so excited to get back to school and be with her "real friends"...for those of you that don't know.  Caden was held back this summer due to her birthday...therefore all of her friends moved up to the 4's class before her.  Needless to say she has been asking us all summer "is it Fall yet?!?"  In all reality Caden should be in the 3's class this year but when she was 1 we decided to move her up a year because she fit in much better with the older girls.  As of know I think it was a good decision.  She loves her friends so much!  Berkley on the other hand is not a fan of Preschool!  She cries when we leave her and any time you ask her about school she says "NO!"  I hope this improves...her teachers say that once she is in the class she does very well though!

Oh my...I'm a little behind! ;)

Sorry I have been M.I.A. lately!  I have a lot to catch everyone up with.  Things have been quite busy around here lately!

What a great summer we have had though!  We were able to travel a bunch and see lots of family and friends.  We have also gained two precious little boys into our family this summer...Jackson and Charles.  Jackson was born in May and Charles was born in July!  We have been able to meet Jackson but are still anxiously waiting to meet sweet baby Charles.

Caden and Berkley have grown tremendously this summer.  They are both such great girls and we are so proud of them.  They are so polite and love each other so much.  They have really started playing well together over the past month.  The love to play dress-up, play with their dolls, play outside, color together and many more fun things.

We had to say good-bye to our sweet sitter Emily a couple of weeks ago because she had to go back to school.  She has been our sitter/nanny for the past 6 months.  We are going to miss her but are very thankful she took such good care of our girls while we were at work.  We are now on the hunt again for another sitter...let me tell you...it is not a fun thing to do.  It is so hard for me to allow someone into our home and have full control over my girls while I am working.  Wish us luck in our hunt.

I will post a few pics and updates of the girls in a little bit...
