Off to school!

Make it a great day!

Gearing up for the 4th!

This week marks Xavier's 2nd week of preschool and he is already cranking out the artwork! Take a look at his recent 4th of July masterpieces. Ati had to get in the pics as well.

Xavier Starts Preschool

The day has come, for Xavier to go to the same school as his big sister. He was so great - no crying, no whining or clinging, just full of excitement to start this new chapter. in his life. We are so glad the surgery is over with and he can officially start school!

Inside Out!

After being cooped up in the house post-surgery for Xavier, we decided to get out of the house and check out this new movie. It was pretty good and we all enjoyed it! Xavier is practicing his emotions successfully in these pictures.

Xavier's ear surgery

Since the day he was born we knew this day was coming. We would need to get that skin tag removed. At his last pediatrician appointment we asked his doctor about getting a referral to remove this pesky tag. Before we knew it the day was here and it was time to go under the knife. Xavier had a great plastic surgeon and in about an hour he was back out and his ear was on it's way to recovery.

Here are pics of him getting ready to go into surgery and a before and after picture of his ear. We are at nearly two weeks post-op and his ear is healing well and we have the green light to use scar cream so that hopefully in a few months you won't even be able to tell what was once there.

Atiana Kinder Promotion

This is a few weeks late but Ati officially became a 1st grader at their Kinder end of the school year party a few weeks ago. Her teacher this year was amazing and we will miss her dearly, but are grateful for the impact she has made on Ati, her reading, and our family. On to 1st grade!

Out for a trail walk!

We've been heading out to the new trail in Lakewood to get some exercise. This trail is about 1 mile long so we get our fitness on while walking. The kids love to point out new things on the trail that they didn't see the week before and Ati said the next time she wants me to make a list of things for her to find so she can check them off, kind of like a scavenger hunt. Whatever makes them stop asking..."are we almost done with this walk???" My goal is to get us RUNNING this trail in the next few weeks :)

Congratulations Oscar!
