I can't believe my baby is in second grade! Eliza is really into being 'twinners'. She's past the whole barbies and princesses phase, but being twinners is still on her 'cool list'. In this case, she and her friend Jordan decided they wanted to arrive in style together on the first day of school. So, Jordan's mom took them out shopping for twinner outfits.
Eliza likes second grade so far. She wants to be involved in EVERYTHING. She ran for student council representative (and won!) and she also talked me into letting her do Brownies girl scouts. Cookies anyone?
And I can't believe my other baby is in Preschool! Seriously, where has time gone? Hailey got a new back back which she filled with all of the necessities for preschool: lip gloss, notebook and pen, a Hannah Montana folder, and a stuffed animal. Here we've got the twinner thing going on again. Aren't they so cute?!

Hailey had a great first day! I was a little worried that she'd freak out when it was time for me to leave, but she was totally fine. After we got home she said, "Mom, that was the best school I ever had!" She's loved school ever since (minus the day when they read the story 'The Three Billygoats Gruff'-it made her cry! She also cried in Sunbeams when her teacher told the story of the good Samaritan. She's my little sensitive girl:) Yesterday we brought home a book that has pictures of her classmates in it and she knew the names of every single kid. So anyway, schools great! The girls are loving it!
I thought I'd better post some updated pictures of Ava. She is such a sweetheart. It doesn't take much to get her to smile. Unfortunately whenever I get the camera out to capture that cute smile she just stares at the camera. Occasionally she'll give me a little courtesy smile. 
The girls still find it amusing to dress up Ava. Poor baby. She doesn't find it quite as amusing.
Here's that courtesy smile I was talking about. Isn't she just the cutest! I love my baby.

Shane and I celebrated our 9th anniversary on August 18th! We went out to eat and then ordered dessert to go (we had Ava with us and she was done being good). We came home and ate our dessert while we watched the Olympics. It was such a fun night. I'm so grateful to be married to Shane. He is seriously the best husband and the cutest dad ever. The girls and I just can't get enough of him. Being married is the best!
