First day of school

Had the first day of preschool for the boys today.  Byron is in a 4 yr old class taught by one of my besties here and Waylon will be going 3 days a week.

Here they are all ready for school..

 It was a short day today.  They only went for an hour and 1/2 and I stayed in the class with Waylon.  His day was more like a playdate.  Byron said his favorite thing about school was his playdate with his best bud Haku afterward.  :) 

We are all settled back in Savannah now.  I'm planning a recap of our Colorado trip.  We had a great time and got to see a ton of family and friends. 

Colorado Update I

New tooth. It is hard to see, but the first one is on the bottom left (her left, your right)...Toothless (from How to Train Your Dragon) sunglasses for the sunny Colorado days. Byron loves them, they're too big for Way and just fall down continuously (lose some, win some)...
Video of Edie and her first experience with "real" grass. Our yard is more sand than grass most times (if you received this via email you will need to click here to view it)...

Colorado

We are in Colorado! By we I mean me, Byron, Waylon and Edie. Poor Aaron is back sweating his butt off in Savannah. Our AC went out the night before we left. It is still (STILL!!) in the process of getting fixed. Aaron came out with us last Tuesday and headed back to Savannah on Thursday. Just enough time to spend our 9 year anniversary together (on my parents back porch, watching a thunderstorm come in and dissipate). These are the gorgeous flowers that hubby got me (I'm spoiled, but happily so)...

I've been having a great time. I really feel like I'm on vacation. Here is mom and dad on our way to the lake. We went out on their boat for a bit and let the boys play around the shore. Edie stayed shore-side and debuted her first tooth!!
My parents have a great set up out here (so we don't drive them crazy too much, hopefully) and we were even able to borrow an exersaucer from a friend (Edie loves it)...

The flight out was great. Well, as great as a two-flight trip plus an hour drive can be with 3 kiddos under 5. The boys did really really well. They are very seasoned travelers by now and were completely entertained with a combination of leapsters and DVDs. Both of them even took a nap on the first flight. Edie did pretty well too. She was a little fussier than normal (no doubt due to her new tooth), but managed to take some naps and didn't cry the entire flight (either time). Here the boys are showing off their new flight toys...

Still in Savannah, but ready to go...

We're going to be here through the 27th. Aaron is heading back the 20th for some mountaineering with Pete and a friend, Chris and for a little vacation. I can't wait for him to come back. It's pretty weird being apart for that long. But, I am glad to have the time with the fam. I just miss my hubby. :)

Half a milestone

Edie is 6 months old today and starting to dig the peas. She spent the day hanging out with her bros...
Parting shot (Reminds me of a 1980's aerobics instructor. I never knew Batman was into high leg briefs.)...

Pumped up kicks

Edie got her first pair of shoes. (Disclaimer: she has had 2 pair given to her but they are larger, I did not buy them and she hasn't worn them yet. She is a trailer park baby as of yet.) They are ridiculously cute ...
It's hard to tell how cute they are in the picture, since Edie looks so damn cute (well, that and the view). Here's a close up...
Byron had his second set of cavities worked on today (2nd of 2 appointments to fix his mouth) and is now done with dentists (at least for the next 6 months). Thank god. He got one filling and one crown today. As a reward, I let him pick out some legos at Walmart...
He is a boy obsessed. He was either sleeping off the laughing gas or playing with these all afternoon. Lastly, Edie has decided that she really likes a little stuff dog my mom and dad got her shortly after she was born. The ears are her favorite part...

Cute stuff they say

Watermelly (watermelon)
Bottomelly (bottom)
Fobby (crabby)
Ba Ba/Dada/Poppa bad boy (whenever anyone does a wrong or perceived wrong to him)
Where R u??
Spank my booty (emphasis on the booty)

Oatmeal...then bath

Edie had her first Oatmeal...
