Clemson vs. Troy

We had the Cosentino's and Kurt's over to watch the Clemson game and the kids all had on their Clemson gear. Corynne and Ellie are 4 days apart (6 wks), Henry 6 months old, Colin 5 and Carson 2. Go Tigers!!!

Colin's 1st Bee Sting

Colin's 1st Bee Sting on his neck. The boys were walking in the woods behind our house when Colin was stung by a bee. He initially cried, but got over it quickly and we are glad to report that he doesn't seem to have an allergic reaction to bees.

Last Day of Pre-School / First day of Kindergarten

The Three Amigos! Colin's last day of pre-school :-( Where does the time go? We are sad to leave such great friends and teachers at Goddard. We hope to stay in touch with Colin's BFF's Brennan and Kyle as they are all off to different elementary schools.

A day we will always remember, I only wish I had it on video. The morning started great... I was able to convince Colin to wear a collard shirt and dress a little nicer than his usual exercise attire (athletic shorts and a t-shirt).. we had lots of pictures with smiley faces and then the BUS came... OMG... The bus stop was CHAOS...there were about 40 kids plus parents so it was a bit overwhelming for a little 5 year old who already has a bit of crowd anxiety... Colin broke down and lost it... the bus driver almost had him get off the bus and it took John and I a walk on the bus to finally get him on... LOTS of tears... All the parents clapped when they finally shut the door and the bus was gone... I followed the bus to school with another mom and spied on him to make sure he was okay... He was all SMILES getting off the bus that day and has been happy going to school ever since. Colin is making new friends and seems to be enjoying his new school.

Update

So much to say, so little time it seems. I am enjoying maternity leave, I LOVE being home with the kids and spending time with my family and will be so sad to go back to work. There are so many projects I want to do, but I find it difficult to find the time to do any of them. Corynne is growing like a weed. She is now 11 lbs 14 oz and is as sweet as can be. The boys adore her. Carson calls her Corynny Bear and we joke that we need a restraining order against him because he is so into her, but we are not complaining. It's as if she has a magnet on her and the boys are attached her... Love it!
