My Bookworm

Love this picture of Kate! We were getting ready for the pool and she was all lathered up in sunscreen and in her bathing suit and I put her down on the floor and as usual, she gravitated towards a book. The teacher in me LOVES this :)!

Kate turns 11 months on Monday. Its hard to believe our Baby Kate is growing up! She will also start "school" next week as I prepare to go back to teaching. We are anxious about her starting and I told Mike that my heart hurts just thinking about leaving her, but we both know that she will have so much fun there and all the interaction will be good for her. Please keep us in your prayers as we make this huge transition.


still making 'the face'
such a big girl :)

I love those pictures - the new header is so cute! And are you kidding me with that bathing suit?!? Precious! I know the transition will be hard, probably much more so for mommy. I am praying for y'all. You are such great parents!

Love the new pictures of Kate, can't believe how big she is getting! Jay just started day care last week, so I somewhat understand what you are going through. I was only home for 4 months, but it was heartbreaking to go back to work. After the first day though, I was fine. It helps that he is SOOOO excited when I pick him up in the afternoon. John actually leaves the house later for work so he is in charge of the morning drop offs, and I get off work earlier in the afternoon so I'm doing the afternoon pick ups. Jay still isn't napping really well there but he's sleeping like a champ at night and seems to have a lot of fun being around other babies. I'll be thinking about you this week, let us know how it goes!
