THE BIG TOP!!!

Mam-ma, Papa, Uncle David (adopted uncle), Jonathan and I took the kids to the local circus in Hattiesburg last week for the 4:30 pm show. Whoa. It wasn't quite the experience I was anticipating (starting with no air conditioning), but Les loved it for about an hour... and Cecilia really loved it! The things we do for kids.:) Everyone stayed until the end but Les and me. All in all, it was a fun experience!

Les was SO unsure of this clown character...

This was after Mommy left. Our girl was a trooper!

MDO!! Our big boy started!!

Mother's Day Out started back after summer right about the time my man was turning one...:) Sooooo, I decided to start him. See ya later nursing and bottles... time to socialize and meet new buds. And he sure has! At first, he clawed at me like a cat, refusing to go without a fight. Two weeks later, my man was ready to wave "bye bye" and take over!;) His teachers, Mrs. Laura and Mrs. Ashley, are beyond precious. They text me pictures during the day and update me on how he's doing.

Pics from the past couple months are below. And as for Cecilia, she struts her stuff into class and just lovvvves her friends and teachers, Mrs. Heidi and Miss Rebecca. I don't ask for pics of her during the day... I'm not worried about her missing me!!

Another day of smiling faces!

COWBOY day at school!!

My man loved it, according to his teachers. And ps. he does start off the day with shoes.:)

Our miss priss on cowboy day!! She is too much!!

Les turns ONE!!!

I haven't been the best blogger lately! I have been helping our friends plan their wedding in Napa this October, so any spare minute I have goes to that!! But thanks to my friend, Jill, I decided I needed to update our latest!! I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet, but our sweet Les turned ONE in August!! I can't believe how quickly time flies. Outrageous! We had his birthday at Mam-ma and Papa's fish camp in Bay St. Louis. It was very, very low key!! Boiled shrimp, had cake and ice cream and called it a day! A very important day.:) It was crab theme, as you can see below. We had Cecilia's first birthday there as well. Hers was fish theme.:)

Les was very much into opening his gifts and being "all in" during his festivities. Cecilia wasn't too up for Les being the center of attention. She wanted him to immediately share all of his new toys. Basically, she just highjacked them all.
