Addison's first day of Kinder

By Kerry -
Addison had a wonderful first day of kindergarten. Daddy and I were able to drive her to school and get her situated. Here she is leaving the house... feeling super special that she was able to pick out her dress for the day!

Daddy and Addison outside the "kinder neighborhood" entrance.

Mommy and Addison outside her Mrs. Barr's classroom.

Daddy, thinking he was being cute, by taking a picture of me watching Addison walk right in to the classroom like she owned the place!

Already on her way within the first five minutes.

She came home from the day and said, "Momma, this was the best. day. ever." I was so happy to hear this. She kept saying how excited she was about school starting, but her anxiety was definitely creeping up over the weekend (she bites her nails like her daddy!) and I knew she was nervous about how big the school was and how many people would be around (over 700). But with the first week done, she's a pro, knows how to get around the school, and has already made a number of friends.

Children viewed, when leaving nest;
Mother's watch, for now's the test;
Measured by her child's finesse.

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
