Yay for new adventures!

Next Wednesday we all start school at KidsEdge. Olivia is so excited to be a Giraffe, Kylee is not so sure about being a Turtle and Ryan is a Minnow. I will be teaching the Bears Pre-K class 3 days a week. I have a great co-teacher and we get a long great. Yesterday was meet the teacher and I am so excited about the kids teachers. They all seem to be so excited about having them in their class and most of them have met the girls due to watching them during teacher work days. I met most of my students yesterday and I am so excited to be teaching again. Today we went and met Ryan's babysitter where he will go Tuesdays. She is very nice and I feel comfortable leaving him there while the girls and I are at school.

Olivia will start soccer next Thursday and she is very excited. She wasn't sure about it until we went and bought all her goodies. We are interested to see how she does and what she thinks about it. She has a few friends that have signed up as well but we are not sure if they are on her team. Of course my family is very excited about going to watch the games.

Chris has started a new "green" company through Direct energy and it will launch next Tuesday, the 4th. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work! He has been working very hard on this since last November. I will post more details if you want to sign up with New Leaf Energy once they launch.

Ryan is 3 months and the girls

I can't believe that Ryan is already 3 months! Time really does fly when you have three young kids! He is such a sweetie and is happy all the time. He loves being around his big sisters and smiles and tries to laugh at them. Olivia is obsessed with him and loves to hold him and be around him. She can calm him down when he is upset. She is such a big helper too. We have had a busy month! Chris took the day off on my birthday and we went to the Downtown Aquarium. It was so much fun! The kids and I are getting ready to start school September 5th. The girls and I will go Monday-Wednesday and on Tuesdays Ryan will go to a sitter as they do not have a class for him. I am very excited to be teaching Pre-k and my co-teacher and I get along great and I look forward to working with her. Ryan will be in the Minnow class, Kylee the turtle class and Olivia in the Giraffe class. Olivia of course is very excited about going to school. Kylee has done pretty well the couple of times we have gone so I can work. We are all very excited and can't wait to share our stories!! 

Family pictures

I do not usually win things but I was very excited to win a mini session from a photographer. Funny enough, Chris went to high school with her. This was our first family of 5 photo and they all turned out great! Chris and I were very surprised considering we were hoping we got at least one good family photo. We were shocked when she emailed all the wonderful photos of our kids and family. Here are a few...
