Saturday Evening

I want to send a big THANK YOU to my dear husband for putting it all together!  You are so thoughtful and I can't thank you enough... We had such a good time yesterday, retelling the same old stories but listening to them like it was the first time we've heard them.  

Thanks for making the long drive over here.  I can't imagine my life without my sisters, LOVE YOU!!

Thoughtful

The 10 year anniversary of my brother's death is coming up this Saturday.  I mentioned it to Jacob last week and he has since arranged and put together a BBQ for my family!  He has contacted my sister in law, Melissa, and found out Joe's favorite food, drink and music so he can have those things available for all of us to reminisce on Saturday.

To top it off he has purchased our nieces (my brother's girls) each a gift and even went as far as having them engraved for them.  We weren't planning to do anything special but thanks to my unbelievable husband we will now get to celebrate my brother's life together... 

Thanks babe, Joe would have been lucky to know you... and I am sure he is smiling from ear to ear to know you are caring for his family!

Update on Preschool

About 1 month ago, I put our name on a waiting list for First Presbyterian Preschool, which is supposed to have an amazing preschool but do it it's amazingness it had super long waiting list.  Fortunately, Jacob was raised here in O'side therefore he knows just about everyone... that came in handy!!  We surprisingly got bumped up the top of the list last Tuesday and now she is attending First Presbyterian Preschool... which by the way, appears to be as amazing as I had heard!

Here are a few pictures of her first day as a student!!
