Ok so these past few weeks have been so busy. I am not use to having 3 kids at home with me all day and I am going a little crazy. Thank goodness this week Kayleigh is at girl scout sleep away camp, and Laurin is in Vacation Bible School.

Ava's Luau birthday went great! At this moment I can not find my camera that has all of the pics on it, I did take it to cvs to get prints made so if I did lose it I am not freaking out about the pics. I also need to post her 1 year pics they turned out GREAT!

Ava is going to start Mothers Morning Out program in a few weeks where she will go 2 days a week for 3 hours. At first I did not want to start her that young but if I did not I would not be able to get her in for preschool. This school is a great preschool but super hard to get into, unless you get in at a year(where most parents do not want to them to go that young). I think it is going to help her so much and get socialized with other children.

We are leaving tomorrow to go to Chicago for a week. We have decided to drive and stay overnight in Louisville tomorrow night and then on the way home we are going to stay in Nashville. This will be the first time that Laurin or Ava has ever been there and it is going to be the first time my dad has seen Ava. I am so excited.

Also if I have not replied to a Happy Birthday Thread, I am sorry but Happy Birthday to all of our little ones.
