Fall day

Haley made a big pile of leaves to jump in on saturday. It was her first time jumping in leaves. We never got to do this in Va Beach b/c the leaves fell so late in the year. Also, b/c we never had huge tree's like we do in Ohio. This is defintely something we are glad to be back in Ohio for is the fall and the changing of seasons. Leah thought the leaf pile was pretty neat. She didn't want to coroporate for a picture but I did get her sneaking out of the leaves. Haley had a ton of fun jumping and throwing them everywhere.

Sleeping Issues...AGAIN

So, the day I said to myself, "Geez, I feel so rested!" I jinxed myself! Leah has been having horrible sleeping issues again which started in August. It's been about a month since it started. She will wake up in the middle of the night and be up for an hour or so and scream. Or, lately, she'll wake up 1 hour after going to bed and then be up for hours! Thank goodness, Dave is taking his turn on this one. I have been so exhausted from adjusting to working and stuff, that I could not handle Leah's new schedule. This picture is a from a few weeks ago when she wouldn't take a nap. So, I was home with Leah and Dave was watching football downstairs, and Haley was with my mom, and Leah decides she's tired and passes out on the floor. I couldn't help but laugh. I had seriously left the room for a minute and come back and there she is. We are actively working on her sleep issues. I plan to cure her this weekend since I'm off all weekend. Wish me luck!!

The basement is done!!

Dave finished the basement about a month ago. .We got the new carpet in not long after that. My mom bought him a new recliner for all his hard work! It turned out so nice! The girls loves their new play room. We have a lot of room for toys down there. Now we just have to move all of them downstairs! That is a job in its self!

1st Day of Preschool

My big girl started her first day of preschool today. She was up before 7 am waiting to get ready for school. She was dressed and ready to go before 8 am. We took lots of pictures and was off to school. We met Haley's good friends McKenzie and little Haley in the parking lot. They are all in different classes. I walked Haley to her classroom and got a picture with her teacher. Haley started playing first thing. It was so hard to leave her. I was leaving my baby for the first time with a stranger. I left after about 10 minutes b/c it was after 9 am. I was very teary when I left. I can't even imagine how I will be when she goes to kindergarten. Dave picked Haley up from school. She had so much fun. I'm am so proud of her. She is so excited for tomorrow!
