A Week of Firsts



A week of firsts...

Trace started 8th grade!! This is his last year at the middle school.  UNbelieveable!

Marci started 2nd grade!!...and Piano Lessons!

Paige cut her 1st tooth!

Marci meets her new 2nd grade teacher, Mrs Kelly Buck-Kelley



My Big SECOND grader!  All decked out with her new pink and black zebra backpack and lunchbox!

You know he DID NOT want me to take this picture...but I won!! *insert evil laugh! :)

It dawned on me...this was his LAST FIRST day of middle school! ;(

Ms Robin Curtis is Marci's piano teacher.  This was her 1st lesson.  I was sad that I had to miss out on this occasion...but Nonnie took pics for me!  She came in saying, "I LOVE LOVE LOVE piano lessons." and went straight to the keyboard to start practicing!

This is how Ms Robin taught her to hold her hands....

Paige had a great week too!  She was passed around from Daddy to Ms Alecia to Nonnie to Ms Karrie, since our babysitter is out for 6 weeks.  One problem...no one wanted to give her back to me...they all wanted to keep her! Ms Alecia took her to the barn to see the horses...and she helped clean the barn by sitting in her stroller and supervising!  Ms. Karrie and Trenton took such good care of her...she text me mid-afternoon saying there was no reason to come pick her up...they were just going to keep her :)  I'm so glad she's loved so much when I'm  unable to be there!   I'm so thankful for great friends that come to the rescue!  Paige had her 9 month check up last week. She weighs 17 lb and 15 oz(30th %), 27" (28th%) and Head circumference was 17 1/2"(62%).  She had to have blook drawn to check hemoglobin levels...I guess they did this with the other 2 kiddos...but it's so horrible I blocked it from my memory...which is what I'm trying to do after they stuck Paige...it's so pitiful! :(  She's walking behind toys...even toys that aren't mobile...she MAKES them mobile by pushing them around the room.  She also cut her 1st tooth today @ 9 1/2 mos old...well we actually NOTICED it today...not sure when it actually CAME in...she's not been fussy or drooling...I wasn't expecting a tooth, since Marci was over a year old before she cut her 1st tooth....but Daddy noticed it this morning while I was at work and texted me the news! Don't you just love that big smile?!  I eat up moments like this...they are good til the last drop! :)
