Jess turns 7 and First day of School!

Friday was Jessica's 7th birthday! We woke her up at 6:30 am so Josh could see her open her presents before he left for work.






Here are some pics of Jessica's very first birthday party with her friends(for the past birthdays, we just have a small celebration with family and maybe neighbors. But this year we went "all out". We had a french themed party with crepes instead of cake. It was a little crazy with 13 girls running around. But Jess had fun and was so excited to share her birthday with her friends from school and church.



We were also honored to have two "real" frenchman join us for the festivities. Aren't they the most handsome frenchies you have ever seen?

Maren, her first day at Kindergarten.

I thought that this was so precious. (left to right- Cora, Emmett, Jess and Maren) I love that Maren wore shorts with her pink cowgirls boots!! I know that it doesn't match and that she will oneday ask me how and why I let her out of the door wearing that outfit. But sometimes you have to pick your battles. And clothes are usually not a battle I am willing to pick.

Well, I officially have three children in all-day school! It was so nice to be able to run errands today (one of which was a dr. appointment) with only one child to keep track of......oh, so nice!
