First Day of School

Sammy just started preschool at Liberty Heights Preschool (and church) which is a just a few minutes from our house. He's going Monday/Wednesday mornings. Here are pictures of him on his first day, along with his proud little brother. Sammy did great all morning, was happy walking in and then we got to the room and he definitely got a little scared. The tears started flowing and he kept saying "You'll be right back? Why are you leaving me?" It was definitely hard leaving that room, but his teachers Ms. Maria and Ms. Debbie were awesome and we knew he was in good hands. When we picked him up, he came marching out with a sucker in his mouth, happy as can be. Sammy is such a sensitive little dude and just seems to get scared/upset in new situations. We have now completed week 2 and this evening he told me, "Mom, I really like school and am a really good listener." He seems to really enjoy it, which we knew he would. It's just hard to believe our little Whammers is already starting school!

More End of Summer Pictures

July/August Update

We've had such a fun summer and are sad that it's coming to an end! Here are some pictures from end of July and August. I also have pictures from this weekend that I tried to upload but am having problems with them for some reason (I'm ready to scream!) so I'll try to put those on as soon as I can. The boys and I went on a road trip the end of July down to Knoxville to stay the weekend with our buddies, The Hulen's. We had a blast going to the Zoo, downtown Knoxville park and Safety City - going to make it an annual event! Got to stop and see our friends, The Karsner's on the way home in KY. Kel, Teddy and the kids came home early August and we celebrated Emie's 1st birthday. That same weekend we had a fun baby shower for Kristen and baby Charlie on the way! We had our friends the Troiano's come down from Columbus to play one day in August and Kel and the kids came up for a fun, unexpected sleepover! And to top off a great month, we celebrated Pappaw and Uncle Dave's birthday this weekend! Throw in some visits to Kings Island, the Waterpark, park time, t-ball, driving range and putt-putt, swim lessons and lots of playing with our neighbor friends...we had a busy fun-filled summer!
