My Latest Favorite Picture is..............

SLUMBER PARTY :-)

I found sleeping bag sets (sleeping bag, eye mask & light) on clearance for $5 at Walmart last week. There was NO WAY that I could resist such a great bargain...plus I knew that it would buy ME some quiet time. :) Emma and Sophie have had SO MUCH fun with them....they both slept in them on Sophie's floor 2 nights in a row!

Emma's First Visit from the Tooth Fairy!!

Emma lost her 1st tooth last Friday! Part of me was excited that she is a big girl now. And, another part of me was sad for the same reason! :) She is quite proud of the gap in the bottom of her mouth. She received $5 from the Tooth Fairy and finally spent it today. :)



Her tooth and her pouch...
(Yeah, I was not prepared and had to find a pouch at home to use)! Showing off her goods purchased today...
Showing off her $5 bill...
(Emma decided to wear pajamas all day today since there was no school).
CLOSE UP!

~~Sophie's Day~~

....okay, it wasn't exactly Sophie's day...but it was her morning! :)


I brought Sophie to a Pre-screen Clinic for Preschool. We went through an obstacle course of rooms and she was tested on:
*Hearing
*Vision
*Speech/Language
* Fine Motor
*Gross Motor
*Cognitive Skills
*Behavioral/Social


Sophie did quite well! There is a delay in her vocabulary and there is a question of where her social skills are at. Her vision screen was questionable...but, I think that her sight is likely FINE. :) It is challenging to test a 3 year old!


Sophie qualified for further evaluation. So, in a month or so we are going to follow up in the above mentioned areas. She had a good time visiting school today! :)

Her prize from Mommy for doing a GOOD job!

Relaxing with a puzzle after her busy morning! Do you like her new hair style? ;)

Emma's 1st Horseback Riding Lesson!

It was a week of "firsts" for Emma! On Friday morning she lost her FIRST TOOTH and the following morning she had her FIRST HORSEBACK RIDING LESSON! Our oldest baby is now officially a big girl! (I will post pictures of her first tooth very SOON). Greg took the following pictures with his Blackberry and emailed them to me so I ended up posting them out of sequence~but, I think that he captured some great pictures of Emma. :) Her teacher's name is Dwayne and her horse was Whiskey. She did a WONDERFUL job and we were all very proud of her...even Sophie! :) Emma will be taking lessons once a week. She loves horses and it will be good "therapy" for her as well....

A Dirty Bird

Sometimes you see something SO FUNNY that you just HAVE to take a picture!!

Emma has a habit of dressing her stuffed animals in doll's clothing.

Last night I met Big Bird at the kitchen table & he was sporting a suede vest.He looked like he belonged in some swinging night club. :) Maybe he was trying to look suave for Grover or Oscar?!
