Bella's New Playmate

Blythe has learned how to play Bella's favorite game, tug-of-war! She gets a kick out of the dogs and loves watching them and trying to play with them! Listen to Blythe calling Bella's name towards the end of the video!

Just the beginning...

Blythe's first tooth broke through on Saturday, Sept. 12!! Of course we were on vacation! She did pretty well and was not fussier than normal, except for Friday night. She woke up almost every hour. We ended up putting her in bed with us and she slept peacefully after that. At breakfast she was trying to chew on the table. In my attempt to stop her she grabbed my hand and stuck it in her mouth. That is when I felt the sharp little tooth!

I found out today that my sister is expecting another girl! I have another niece on the way!!!! Yeah!

Approaching a new Season

I have to admit that I love this time of the year. All the back to school displays in stores and commercials on TV. It makes me miss being a kid. I loved getting a new backpack, fresh new notebooks, brand new pencils! I think it is the organizer in me that loved it so much. Also, the new school year had endless possibilities, a new beginning. It was a chance to change anything. Unfortunately New Years doesn't do the trick for me like starting a new school year.

I love being a teacher, it gives me that opportunity to start fresh. I organize , label, and clean everything! I am going to miss not teaching this year terribly. I love getting the classroom ready, meet the teacher day, reading books to the kids, teaching them... Then I look at Blythe. I am so excited that I am going to be with her for the next year! I love playing with her on the floor, watching her from around the corner while she is having independent time, listening to her talk, laughing together, and I am glad that I get to continue to do this all day long. I know I won't do this forever so I plan on making the most of every moment with her!

So before we start off a new school year here is some of the things we did this summer!
