First day of preschool!!!

This morning Sabrina went to her very first preschool class. She seems to like her teacher, her classroom, play doh and snack time but is still a little unsure about her classmates. Despite a case of butterflies in her tummy our Sabby handled being dropped off like a pro. She waved, smiled and said "See you later Mom" and went off to wash her hands. I think I was more nervous than she was. This will be the first time I won't be there to protect and look out for her and for me that is a hard thing. Only time will tell if we have made the right call with the school and how she adjusts but I have a feeling its all going to work out in the end.

Getting ready to leave for school!

Walking into school with Daddy and Caleb. Sabrina was super excited that her Daddy was able to come and see her off on her first day. He was the only Daddy we saw there!!

Washing her hands in her classroom!!

Twinkle Toes

This past morning Sabrina began her very first ballet class. She LOVED every minute of it and had a grin plastered to her face the entire hour. She loved her tutu and leotard but didn't understand why she did get to wear a crown. Apparently in her mind all ballerinas wear crowns so therefore she should as well. The other moms and I were just alternately hysterical and a little misty eyed watching our less than graceful girls twirl, run and jump.

Watch out Mia Hamm!!

This past Saturday Sabrina followed in both of her family's footsteps and had her first soccer class. Granted it mostly involved running from one end of the arena to the other, kicking over cones and balloons but she had an absolute blast especially with her bestie Katie at her side. Here are some pics of our future soccer star in action.

GOOOOO IRISH!!!!

Here's the proud Daddy with his two kids watching the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on Purdue for the first game of the season.

7 mos old!!

Our little man is getting ready to hit the 7 month mark next week. So far he seems to be keeping his sunny, happy personality. He is something of a charmer and always has a smile for anyone who is paying him any attention. This makes him very popular with the ladies-Kyle is convinced he gets his mojo from him :) This past week he has started to say mama; between he and Sabrina that word seems to echo around this house pretty much all day :) Caleb can sit on his own pretty well now but will occasionally "go boom". He is trying to crawl but is currently at the scooting backward stage. His favorite person is still his big sister, he is just fascinated by everything she does and he just lights up whenever she comes near him. They have started to play together somewhat and I am such a sap watching the two of them interact. Sabrina is a generous, caring and somewhat bossy big sister. She will gladly share her toys with him and will often without any prompting just go up to him and sing a little song or give him a hug and a kiss. Its as cute as it sounds. Caleb loves loves loves solid foods and will eat anything and everything. So far peas and bananas are his favorites. He continues to be a great sleeper and is pretty much a dream baby. Here are a few pics from the past month or so:

Big smiles for the Momma!

Happy to be around his big sister

He will let her do pretty much anything to him

Snuggling in the big girl bed is a big treat for him.

Teeth were another big milestone. His two bottom teeth came in a few weeks ago but he will still gnaw on pretty much anything and everything.

Spending some quality time with Poppy learning the ins and outs of golf.

This is his favorite toy. I'm not sure if its the lights and music or his reflection that he enjoys more.

Sometimes a guy needs a little cuddling when your teeth are coming in.

My two blessings!!
