Joyful Jack

Happy Hunter

Helping mommy work on a Saturday morning

My wonderful helper (along with his wonderful daddy!)

Chit-chat

Look at those eyes and that hair - this is what a post-3.5 hour nap time looks like.

Have I mentioned that Hunter likes his sleep?

Still A Favorite

Anyone have a clue what Reid's favorite thing is at school (not to worry...we were heading home)???

Happy Four Months, Twin-Littles!

Happy Birthday to Mommy!

This little guy hung on for dear life from our house to Jeff's office and then again from Jeff's office to the gym until dad finally discovered him.  He was determined to survive to see his owner again! And in case you can't tell from the picture, it's Mater, one of Reid's favorite Cars characters.

Morning hugs for Hunter

Daddy went to the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas game in College Station, so Grandma JoJo and Grandpa came to help with all the littles.  Thanks JoJo & Grandpa!  We had a blast!

Big boys in the jumperoo

Dinner with the Meierhofers at Al Biernat's for my birthday dinner.

 Sno cones for mommy's birthday. 

It appears sno cones are becoming a birthday tradition around our house.

Trying mommy's shoes on for size.

We had nothing to do with this....he did it all on his own.

We were shopping for new tennis shoes, but Reid had something else in mind.

Gearing up for big boy food!

Kidville: Big Muscle Builders

You may remember from this post back in January that Reid attended the Rockin' Railroad class at Kidville last semester.  He loved the upbeat music class!

Now that he's a rambunctious two year old, we thought we'd give a new class a try - Big Muscle Builders - and BOY, are we glad we did!

Reid loves every minute of it!  It's a boy's dream - running, jumping, swinging, sliding, building, destructing and more.  He is right at home in this class, and it's crystal clear who the leader of the pack is.

  

Swing!

Jump!

Lake Highlands Christian Child Enrichment Center

On September 2nd, Reid attended his first day of school at Lake Highlands Christian Child Enrichment Center. 

This wonderful Christian-based school has a waiting list a MILE long!  In fact, before we transitioned to Fair Oaks earlier this year, LHCCEC was on a 1-1.5 year waiting list for Reid's age group.  

As good fortune would have it, two families (one had 3 children and the other had 2 children attending the school) recently moved from the Lake Highlands neighborhood, so guess who secured a spot in the Crickets' (young 2s) class???

If you've never seen a working mom gush with happiness, you should have seen me the day we found out the wonderful news.  Just ask my very patient husband. I think I told him no less than 20 times how very excited I was!

There are SO many things that Jeff and I love about this school - from the Christian curriculum to the separate cafeteria (for all meals & snacks) to the wonderful outdoor play areas geared towards the children's ages to the amazing teachers and staff to the summer program.

Yes, I said "summer program!"  Once Reid is in elementary school, he will be able to attend LHCCEC full-time during the summer.  That means only ONE drop off and pick up for all three boys.  Yay for mommy and daddy!  :)

If you can't tell, Jeff and I couldn't be more thrilled for this new time in Reid's and later, in the twin-littles' lives.  Thank God for schools that give moms peace of mind as they leave their children in other people's care each day.

On the Friday before Reid's first day at his new school, we spent an hour visiting and playing with his new classmates.  What a FUN time we had!

Reid's current, favorite part of his new school - the water fountain!
