First Day of Pre-school

Zoe started her second year of pre-school in September. I can't believe how big she is getting and every thing that she is learning. She had a little bumpy start with school, I don't know if she just wasn't feeling well, but she didn't enjoy it the first week. But now she loves it and can't wait to go.

Daddy's Birthday

Daddy's birthday was in September. The girls helped make his cake, and they helped put the candles on it, helped blow out the candles and of course helped eat the cake.

 

Do you like their poses?

The Fair

We took the girls to the fair this year, of course. They loved looking at all the animals and eating the fair food. But their favorite part was a little petting Zoo where they got to feed the animals. They thought it was pretty awesome to have the goats lick their hands. I, on the other hand, did not enjoy it as much. There was a weird little breed of goat that bit me. It startled me, and made me drop most of the animal food. But the girls had fun, and that's what matters.

Hair

We had a fairly busy September and I acutally took pictures. So I am going to start with my hair pictures. My hair had gotten really long and so I decided to donate 11 inches to Locks of Love. We accidently took off 13 inches and so my hair ended being a lot shorter than I intended. I think it turned out well anyway.  

Oh, I'm about 35 weeks in these pictures.

I am actually almost 38 weeks and have been having contractions every hour or so today. They aren't painful, so I am hoping that she waits till morning to really decide to do anything. I hate going in to labor at 2 in the morning.  

Big Sister

Zoe is such a good big sister. She tries very hard to make sure that Arleigh is happy. If Arleigh is sad or upset Zoe will try to cheer her up. Zoe is looking forward to having another little sister. I hope Arleigh will be a good big sister like Zoe.

Mud Monsters

Mud Monsters!!!

 

Need I say more?

Puppy

In July we got a new addtion to our family.

She is a Mini Australian Shepherd/Springer Spaniel mix.  

The girls just love her, except when she jumps up on them.



Zoe named her Daisy and she is a cute little thing that is acutally getting to be a lot bigger than in these pictures.

And you may ask, am I crazy to get a puppy right before having a baby?

Yes, yes I am.

Fishing with Dad

This summer the girls got to go fishing with Ben a couple of times. I don't think they ever figured out the point of sitting by the water holding a stick, but I think they still had fun.

 

 

And yes, Arleigh has a giant pole and Zoe has one of those kid ones. Arleigh just never got a pole and so she had to borrow Ben's.
