Off to Ballet class...

I was very impressed with Hope in her first ballet class. She did fantastic! I cannot believe my daughter is now 3 years old...and yet 3 is so young to even be in ballet-I thought gymnastics was more appropriate, but only ballet was being offered at church and so I figured it would be fun to start somewhere..and let me tell you-she is very impressive. Her attention span, and her interest in trying to pick up the skills..just had me awe struck!

Wow Hopee....you're amazing.

Happy Birthday Hope

Another year gone by-my daughte is growing up and getting older before my very eyes....Look how mature she's gotten..sighhh

Flash back 1 year earlier....in same dress.

Today she turns 3

Happy Birthday Babies!

Hope's birthday isn't quite here yet..but we did celebrate it for both Hope and Noah. I am happy they were satisfied with thier ChuckEECheese party. They got awesome things-Noah and his beautiful bike and Hope with her Disney Princesses..sigh I was a little teary eyed, that Hope is growing up on me....no longer babies.

Noah 5 and Hope 3!

We just completed our 3rd post placement also! Need to send it off for apostilles. The social worker was quite impressed by Hope's demeanor and charm..sighhh. My girl!

Officially Registered for School!

Hope is going to school this coming January. Am I scared-yes. She is excited but then again sometimes she says 'NO school'..we'll have to see. Noah will be across the hall from her, so I think that will help...gotta get her a Hello Kitty school bag;)

Counting down for Christmas...going to celebrate this season for everything the Lord has granted me-including his Son.


Amen

SANTA!

I peeeeeeeed Mom!

Yes Hope is pottying finally! Yeahh-Lord you're too good to me. It seemed almost impossible at one point with Hope and the potty. Though she is finally getting it, with a lot of positive attention and praise she delights in her accomplishment;)

She actually really likes the potty...she dislikes the toilet. She will be almost fully clean too...amazing!

I am finishing up school and will be entering the hospital come this January (God willing) and Hope will have to go to daycare..I wanted more than anything for her to be potty trained...and low and behold she is! I am worried about her in daycare..but I am happy for her at the same time...because I think she is sooo bright and would benefit from an early education...she often sings to herself holding an invisible microphone...thirteeeen, seventeen...twentyyyyyyyy!

We go away for a sneaky, mini vacation to Orlando Disney Resort...I'll snap some pics there...she's gotten so big, and her hair so long..she TALKS SOOOOO MUCH! Ughhhh...my husband wonders when she will button it..hehe. Mackenzie will be celebrating his 8th birthday...God bless him...my kids are growing up!

I have finals next week and will be able to finally take a real breather and enjoy this Christmas with the kids before the chaos starts with my RN training....sighh...wish me luck;)
