Brooks' Surgery

Brooks had his adenoids removed last week. The doctor said they were blocking 80% of his nasal passageway, so it was a good thing to do. It was an out-patient surgery, and he fought through it like a champ. He was concerned with the IV in his arm, and thought the gown was "embarassing", (the gown said "tired little tiger!"), but he came out physicallly and emotionally unscathed. I'm just proud that we were able to have that done! Thank you, Jesus!

Camden's Family Party

More about Camden, I know, but the girl only turns 6 once!! This was our family party the night before her party, and she got to open her grandparents' gifts and the stuff we got her--she STILL likes Little People--and of course, blow out 6 candles and eat cake. I love that girl!

Camden's 6th Birthday Party

Palmer's First Day

Is this smile forced, or what?  CHEESE!!

This is my Palmer J.

Dad got the honor of taking Palmer to school on his first day.  He was sad to be without his teacher from last year, but he warmed up to his new teacher quickly.  He had so much fun, he's been yelling at us to take him back to school!  I guess mom just doesn't do it for him anymore--when bubbs and sis aren't home, he doesn't want to be either.  Aww, feeling sorry for myself, huh?  

The Crew

(Sorry, I added this pic late and I don't know how to maneuver things...this is a pic of her jeweled initials I ironed on her backpack.)

This is our "walk-to-school" crew:  Connor, Brooks, Grace (Connor's cousin) and Cams.

Very First Day of School!

Today is Camden's first day of Kindergarten!  She was very excited, bouncing off the walls, LOUD, and very happy!  She had a little bit of apprehension as she walked through the doors of her classroom, but Mrs. Bishop was there to take her by the hand and walk her in.  I have a very good feeling about this year!  

She let me pick out her outfit for the day....

but she got to choose her own backpack, and she couldn't wait to use it!

Even Dada got up early and braved the walk to school with us!  Of course, Brooks looked handsome in his new outfit, but right before I snapped this pic, he complained of stomach pains.  I asked if he needed to go to the bathroom, and he said, "No, Mom, I think I need to throw-up.  I'm not sick, I just feel like I did before my first basketball game."  Ahh, butterflies!! He's gonna have a great year, too! 

Palmer was mad at me for trying to snap his picture, and was truly upset that he couldn't go to school with his bubba and sissy.

Off to school....

Tag...
