And It Only Gets Busier...

I apologize that it's been awhile since we've checked in with everyone. It's been a busy time lately and I have been kind of down and out not feeling the best the past couple of weeks. And like our title of this blog states, things are about to get even busier!

Believe it or not Gwendolyn has her very first "Meet the Teacher" night tomorrow night, and Braelyn has hers next week.  It is very surreal for me to be on this side of things. Usually I am the teacher preparing for parents and students. But this time I am  the parent!! When did that go and happen? ;) We have been trying to prepare the girls for what's coming. I'm not really sure they quite grasp it yet. It's going to be an interesting transition. I start back to work tomorrow again (blah), so the girls will go back to their wonderful in-home daycare with their beloved Tracy. Then next week Braelyn will start her little preschool twice a week. Because her school is run by the school district, Gwendolyn won't actually be able to start school until their 3rd birthday in September. But we are still trying to talk it up to both of them and explain that they will be going to different schools, but will be back together in the afternoon. (in just enough time to nap) ;) Braelyn has voiced her displeasure with this several times already. She has told me that she wants to go to "Gi-Gi's" school. That is really the hard part, but we know that they will be in the best suited places for their individual needs. We really think it will be good for both of them in the long run. Braelyn tends to take over a bit for Gwen and we are hoping that being in her own learning environment, she will be able to really flourish on her own.

So, as you can see there are big changes a comin' to our household, but we are excited to see what this next phase brings us!

Here are just a few pictures from the past couple weeks. Enjoy! :)

Another big change at our house....a big bed for our big girls!!

I had to add this picture. I shared it on Facebook too because I thought it was so darn cute! Braelyn drew this all by herself at her "Grammy's" house. When she was all done she said, "It's Daddy!" She even pointed out the fact that she drew his glasses. We think it has a striking real resemblance to her daddy. ;)

The following pictures were our own little version of training the girls up for their future Olympic gold medals:

We are pretty sure that our girls will have quite a future in the  Olympic sport of "swinging". ;)

Have a great week!!!
