It's JUST cool enough for morning strolls. We welcome the weather

 We helped say farewell to our friends Amy and Dillan who are moving to IL

 with farewell friends fudge sundaes

 Our group started off as 5 friends and moms who met at the library has now grown to a group of 9 moms and 18 kids

 One afternoon, my first baby decided she wanted to nap in her Big Girl Bed and has been sleeping in it every sleep since. She teared when we took down her crib but if you know Tatum, you know she will cry at about anything. The tears have gone but the pride shines every time we tuck her in - which I will tell you is quite a few times per night.

 Dance? Karate? I don't know but it's cute

MMMMM, Cake

 Princess and the swimmer

 A letter from Santa arrived for Tatum and Graham all the way from the North Pole. Thank you Uncle Paul for reminding Santa of our address

 Sweet moments like these erase the screaming and carrying on that these two do all day...almost

 I see a theme here

 The princess and her shadow

 Graham heard that Tatum was going to be going to a gymnastics preschool and is putting his best moves forward in hopes that I will leave him there too

 A quick pose before we go to orientation. She's bringing sassy back

 T:Are you going to leave me today? Me:Yes T: Yeah, I am so excited!

 It feels like she is too little to go to "school" but girl sure is excited about it.
