Langston's first button....all by himself!

L. buttoned his shirt all by himself one morning. I've been putting him in something w. buttons since then so that he can practice. He loves it.

yes, the bow looks goofy

I know my husband will be glad to hear me say this: the bow on Zora looks goofy. I never put anything on or around her bald-ish little head. I know that someday I'll have the chance to pull her little hair back & "fix" it, but for now, I'm leaving her fuzzy head alone. It really is sweet with just the longer fuzz in the back sticking up and nothing else attached to it.
Oh, and L. wanted to "show" everyone Z's new gum brush & paste. He also tried the paste on his toothbrush. :) And he helped me dress Zora so that they would match. He loves his sister.

First day of Preschool

My big boy just started pre-school! He will be going on Tues. & Thurs. Although I am happy to have more time with Zora & proud of him, I have mixed feelings about not seeing him for 2 days a week. I'm sure some other mommies can relate.
He did GREAT on his first day (the only day so far). He even took a nap there (during nap time...on his cot...with his special blankie). Barclay took him & picked him up. He said that Langston bounded into the classroom & joined right in with a teacher & another kid who were already playing at a table. We it was time to go home, L. had to think about whether or not he really wanted to leave! I'm so proud of his grown-up nature. He's very self-assured...my little joy of a guy.

both babies at the playground

Little Zora slept as L. and I played like "old times" one afternoon (about a week ago). I decided to give Barclay a child-free hour or two and we headed out to have some mom & kid fun. I think Langston was happy to have me "back," i.e. able to lift & hold him once again. I enjoyed our outing, too. :)

Grandmom & Granddad visit

Grandmom & Granddad visited us once again. This post is a little late, but I thought they would enjoy the pix anytime they got posted. We had fun. Their visits are always "short & sweet" bc they both still work full-time. I'm sure they're looking forward to a grandkid-filled retirement!
