with the little miss being gone at school all day, i get to spend some extra time with our son. it is definitely way more quiet in the mornings after we drop her off at school. here he is enjoying some organic corn flakes from trader joe’s!

tomorrow this little gal starts her first day of kindergarten. the past year has been a little stressful finding a school for her, but with a lot of prayers she is starting at a very awesome school. i have been with her just about every day for the past almost 6 years, and it is so hard for me to think that she is going out into the world for the first time.
don’t mind the snapshot, the mister snapped it on his iphone. my computer crashed on friday and hopefully the apple store on walnut st. in shadyside will have it back very soon! anyways, the photo was taken on monday after our daughters meet and greet at school. after i got dressed, she went and picked out an outfit to match mine. she is definitely my mini me, and i am going to miss her dearly!

we left for vacation to sleep in a tent along the coast over a month ago, and i finally decided to take the time to go through the photos and pick a few (or 14..ha!) to share. we had an amazing time, and it was definitely difficult to come home and get back to every day life after being away for two weeks. in fact, an evening last week our daughter came out of her bedroom sobbing, and her reason for doing so was because she wanted to go back to the beach. i certainly wanted to join her in the crying to go back to the beach!
she couldn’t get enough of the water, and became an awesome boogie boarder…
and the little guy enjoyed it just as much…
driving on the beach was exciting, although the vacuuming all of the sand out was not (according to the mister, anyways..i wouldn’t know! haha!)
playing in the sand, finding shells and building castles kept us all entertained for hours everyday…
making smores with strawberry marshmallows over charcoal due to the lack of firewood was a hit with both kids…
playing along the ocean at sunset, walking on the dunes and flying kites is something i wouldn’t mind doing on a daily basis!

this evening my husband decided to take off our daughters training wheels…
i have to admit, i thought he was crazy. i really didn’t think she was ready. also, we are having our own family pictures done tomorrow, and i really didn’t want her all scraped up. within 15 minutes, our little girl was doing this….
don’t mind the picture quality…this proud momma had a few tears, and definitely fumbled with the camera. seriously, i am so proud of her!
speaking of her, and our photo shoot tomorrow. i had our outfits all picked out and laid out on our bed. this evening i wanted to wash a few things, but her outfit was no where to be found. i asked her if she knew where it was, and her response was “i am not wearing that outfit!” it turns out she hid it from me.
