Picking out her bunnies new heart

We took Savannah to Build-Bear workshop today. She had a wonderful time getting to pick out which stuffed animal she wanted, the noise (she picked a giggle sound), giving her a bath and picking out an outfit (a princess dress with butterflies and bows to match of course....the bows were her idea and a MUST). She decided on a bunny and named her Lollipop. This was the first time I had ever gone to this place. It was so cute. She tucked Lollipop in her baby bed that is in her bedroom, swaddled of course, before bed tonight. It was very cute!!

Festivals and County Fairs

Love both of their faces!

The goat was getting ready to steal the cup out of their hand..

Her favorite ride...she LOVES to spin!

Exhausted from a day of fun!

The last 2 weekends we have taken Savannah to a Greek Festival and our County Fair. She has had a great time riding all the rides. Daddy has taken her on all of them since I can't go (being only 5 weeks away from my due date). At the fair she was able to see lots of animals and enjoyed her first elephant ear. She thought it was really yummy! I love the fall and all the festivals it brings. We have another local one we plan on taking her to next weekend! Fun..Fun!

The Love of Rain...

Savannah found a child's umbrella in the midst of my old dance costumes one day. She had been waiting over a week for it to finally rain so she could use it outside. She was so excited the morning I told her it was finally raining outside!

Quick Update!

Sorry I haven't had any pictures to share recently. Things have been very busy lately. Savannah has started school. She is doing a great job! We haven't had any tears yet and she really likes going. She calls it her "big girl skoo" That is how she says school. Very cute! She goes twice a week. I also watched my friends 2 boys (3 & 5yr.) two days last week. I had to go get a 3 hour glucose screening also last week b/c I didn't pass my one hour(this is the test they do when you are pregnant to check for gestational diabetes. I couldn't eat anything after midnight, then had to drink this really sugary drink and get my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. I couldn't even leave the lab in between the blood draws. Anyway, it was NOT fun, but I did end up passing it!! YAY!! Savannah has spent the last 2 weekends with my parents. This has been a wonderful break. I am starting to get a bit uncomfortable and not feeling or sleeping the best so I definitely appreciate the break. We have been busy trying to get things ready for Cameron's arrival. I only have 6 1/2 weeks until my scheduled c-section. I am hoping when I go back to the Dr. on the 14th that I will know the actual scheduled date. Lastly, Savannah did a trial soccer class this past week. She was so cute! She had a great time and I really wish I had remember to bring my camera. I will try and take some this week and update the blog with them.

First Day of Preschool

Today was Savannah's first day of preschool. They only went for 45 minutes today while the parents had parent orientation in another part of the building. She did GREAT! I was not sure if she would cry or not. She had NO hesitation about me leaving. She actually kept asking me while I was trying to fill out some papers when I was "going out there". When I returned the teachers told me she had already met a little friend that had played with her the whole time. They hugged goodbye when she left. It was ADORABLE! Next week she will start going twice a week for 3 hours and 45 minutes. I think it is going to be a great experience for her!

Dance Class

Nana came to watch class this day and got suckered into going across the floor with her

Ribbon Time

Stretching

Savannah has been taking a little dance class this summer. She LOVES it! She is always doing her little dances at home and gets so excited when I tell her it is dance day. They do tap and ballet (which is more like creative movement). They are all 2 years old in her class. I have been very impressed with how well she listens and follows the teachers instructions. We have signed her up again for the fall session. I love watching her dance! She is too cute!

We took our family vacation this year to Fripp Island, SC. It was absolutely beautiful! The house we rented was so nice and spacious and we were daily visited by several deer. The children enjoyed playing at the beach and jumping the waves. They also had a very nice pool that we were able to take the children to. You used a golf cart to go everywhere, which became one of the Savannah's favorite things to do! I was also able to visit with my friend Margaret, and her children while down there. They live just a few minutes from where we were staying. The week went by WAY to fast!! It is so nice to get to spend so much quality time with the family! Everyone got along and we couldn't have asked for better children. What a wonderful trip!
