chilly...

Nana's sweater set works perfect under Ella's new jacket.  Nice and warm.

Kailey starts pre-school

Lovely....already my little girl is going to school.  She is super excited about this and that is all she is talking about so I sure hope she is not disappointed.  In the last month or so she has asked me when she gets to go to school and has been building schools out of blocks and drawing them.  She has a couple of friends that are in Kindergarten so she wants to be like them is the only thing I can think of.  We registered her in the Mary Poppins preschool program on base, this is a very highly regarded school so I am pleased that there was room even though we signed her up for the wrong class at first.  It will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30am - 11:30am.  This program is for 4 year olds or those that will be going to kindergarten next year...gulp.  She also starts her Dance program in a couple of weeks.  I am more excited about this one for sure...hahaha.  I guess I have to face facts, she is not my little baby anymore.  This is very hard on me though as I remember her Ella's age like it was yesterday.  I almost broke down in tears like a fool in Zellers last night when we were shopping for 'non-diva' play clothes for class...hahaha.  she desperately wanted a school bag so she picked out a Tinkerbell one. (actually I talked her into that one as she was leaning more toward some weird digi looking thing.).  Don't even get me started on her style.  She is into black with glitter/bling and high tops....Goth...yikes.  hahaha.

Sister love

Uncle Ryan comes to visit from California....

Here are some pictures of our visit so far.  We are having a great time and Kailey loves being around Uncle Ryan so much. Tons of fun so far and it is going by way too fast. :-(  Check out the first picture...everyone is doing exercises - even Zoe...hahahaha.  More pictures to follow.  Ella is a little apprehensive and combine that with Kailey monopolizing Ryan- it is a little tough to get a picture of Ella and her Uncle...hahaha.
