They grow so fast

I just had to share my shock. My baby girl is now wearing adult sized shoes! Before I know it she's going to want to borrow mine!

Standing tall

Friday afternoon we took the kids to the beach. It's been awhile, nice to get there again. There were amazing feats done.

and lots of 'throwing kids around'

Little bit and me sat and watched(well, tried too, the sun was bright!) He stayed snuggled under the blankets aka sun blockers for most of the time.

Then he tried laying on the beach for awhile......as you can see he decided to roll off the blanket and check the sand out;) If the surface isn't extremely flat it isn't hard for his weight to roll him over:)

Maybe next time he'll try the water out.

Esther

It's so nice to start getting back in the swing of things. Had our first day in our new bible study, so many new faces! Had a lot of families PCS(move) over the summer. But a lot more moved here too, I think the attendance was 113 women and 137 children last week! The study I am in is on the book of Esther. It's a Beth Moore study that can be found here, esther/It's tough being a woman. I believe you can download the videos if you can't get a group study together. The kids are all studying Old Testament Heroes in DiscipleLand

#3 drew a hand print today and it had things like his height, weight, age, hair and eye color on it. For his hair color he was telling me he had to color it yellow because there wasn't a blonde crayon;)

I started back to hula yesterday. We are learning Can you Only Imagine. Love that song.

Ever had one of those days?

Today was the kick-off for our ladies bible study. I had baby in the stroller and all was well until I looked down and realized(might lose some of you here) there was yellow ooze sitting with him. So off to the bathroom we go to change him, he and the stroller were a mess! Then I realized that I hadn't repacked an extra outfit, what to do we had just arrived....I didn't want to leave and knew the other kids would be upset to leave so soon too. Ah ha, I can just wear him in the sling and he will be fine! Just another reason to love slings! He ended up nursing and sleeping in the sling the rest of the time we were out(which he probably would have done anyway whether clothing would have been an issue or not).
While I was having tea and picking a study for the semester the children were being entertained by a clown and here is the end result of their time this morning.
We have tank boy.

First day of school

Today was our first 'official' day of school, although we did start some math and phonics last week. We have one in 4th and 2nd grade and one PreK and Preschool.
