First Day

Today was FINALLY Ethan's first day back to school. He started a new school this year. Gordon and I decided to send him to a private, christian school. I did tons of research on the place before making the decision. The curriculum looks great, the teachers are all accredited and are state certified teachers. Its a K-8 grade school, so he will go to the regular public high school, we just think this will be a great start for him. I was already happy when we found out there were only 21 students in his class, and none of the classes go over 24 students. SO we are happy. Here are some pics from today, and one of Addison looking like she's 3 yrs old or something.

First Official Appointment

Today was our first official appointment with the midwife, meaning she drew my blood for all that stuff, and the pee sample, blood pressure, discussed more stuff. It was so great, she came to my house, and this time her assisstant (apprentice) came along too. They are both such amazing woman, I loved how we all just sat around in my living room chatting like we had known each other forever. Ethan was playing the Xbox the whole time, Addison was napping, it was just great. We discussed different testing you can get, or decline if you choose. Risks, benefits, etc. We talked about nutrition, and I found out some really neat info on stress hormones, and happy hormones and how your growing baby relates to them, and how you can really make the whole "being made" process a great one for your little unborn child.

We went to the beach this afternoon, we ended up staying for 3 hours, which is a first for us. Usually Addison is having a meltdown after about an hour, hour and a half max. We had a bonfire and roasted hot dogs and s'mores, the big kids played down in the surf for awhile, and it was a great afternoon/evening.

Thats it for now, I hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend and just chillax!!!!
