Thanks Moms!

I just wanted to give a shout out to the two moms who are the reason I have my job.  I am not sure that I would be where I am today without the foundations that they laid. 
Thanks Mom for staying at home with me.  Thanks for doing a good job!  My mom always talked up her job in front of us, and that made a huge impression on me.  I remember more than once my mom almost quit her part time job because the job was requiring too much and taking her away from our home.  She passed her value of motherhood on to me with her words and actions. 
I couldn't stay at home without Jordan's full support.  He wants me at home with the kiddos, and I know the framework that he has for the importance of moms comes from his mom.  She also stayed home and raised her kids full time. She continues to throw out her encouragement in word and deed.  We have no "in-laws" in Jordan's family only "bonus" children and parents.  She is a great "bonus mom."
So thanks Moms for all you have done (and still do) to make me the mom that I am and supporting me as I stay home with my babes!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!

A "Spring" Field Trip

This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring!   By the orchids   Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!)     Grandmas and the kids   Look at the fish!   Me and my babes!     What is this?      This inside of the fig   He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks!  (We kind of wanted to take them home!)   Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose!     What a great brother!   Group shot!
