first day of preschool.

London started preschool this week!

or mom's day out or whatever it's supposed to be called.

she goes two days a week for a half day.

she seems to really like it so far. as much as you can at one and a half. 

here are some photos of us getting ready for her first morning of preschool.

london as a pirate. 

 

 pay no attention to my messy house in the background.

 contemplating what preschool will be like.

i found this pool at Target and it's amazing.

the best $20 of the summer.

and London LOVES it.

and on a totally different note... please keep the Clouse family from Pennsylvania in your prayers. They lost 7 of their children in a house fire early yesterday. I cannot imagine the grief. I can't get them off my mind today. It breaks my heart.

embrace the camera

here we go! 

happy warm thursday...at least i wish it was warm

iPhone style.

thank you. thank you. friends.

so, i'll admit it. when i launched our give-a-way this week i was so nervous. being relatively new to the blogging world, i realize people don't know me and because of that...are less likely to be interested in supporting us. just being honest. all the way around. BUT, we have been overwhelmed by the positive response to the give-a-way. thank you guys so much for your financial support and affirmation.

yeah!

our give-a-way is open until sunday at midnight, so there's still time to register below if you wanna win some etsy goodies.

ill leave you with some SUPER images that my husband took this week as we played at the park. a little embrace the camera, late :)
