We packed up and headed to Graves Mountain to do some apple pickin’.  Of course, Abbie had a blast as she always does!  She picked apples, ran through the orchard and climbed trees.  We learned that Tessa LOVES apples.  And you don’t take things that Tessa loves away from her!  We tried to take her apple away to put her in the car—bad idea.  The kid screamed so loud!  Great family day!

Girls weekend!!!  We had such a good time, Jen, Laura, Melissa, and myself headed down to Virginia Beach to the Founders Inn and Spa.  We ate too much, drank too much, swam with wine too much.  Just a great girls weekend away and I’m already ready to do it again!  Thanks for such a great time, good laughs, and great friends girls!

First day of preschool

WOW, my baby girl is already starting preschool!!!  I can't believe she is old enough to go to school.  And, in true Abbie fashion, she tackeled herr first day like a champ.  We walked in and met her teacher, Mrs. Flemming, for the first time (she had a stomach bug on orientation day).  Abbie stayed by my leg for the first few minutes but quickly warmed up.  When it was time for me to leave, I expected tears (from both of us), but I promised myself that I wouldn't cry in front of her.  And she didn't cry in front of me.  She was so brave, just said "bye mommy" and off she went.  I held true to my promise and didn't cry...till I got to my car.  Then the water works took off.  Where did the time go?  Where did my baby go?  When did she become such a little girl?  I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of that little girl.  Always so brave, always so sweet, so loving, so smart, so perfect.
