Zoe's first day at school!












Only Zoe Kramer would go to her first day of school in a handmade Batman dress and pink high-tops! I love it! Zoe LOVES her preschool and goes 2 mornings a week. She has a FABULOUS backpack, courtesy of Grammie Abraham and a fantastic "princess" lunchbox!
Her favorite teacher is Pam and the playmates she talks most about are Liam, Callie and Alex. Her days are filled with exploration, music, sign language and play! When I drop her off on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, she says "Bye Mommy! Go run your errands and come back later!". She is so happy there!
Her teacher, Pam, is so wonderful and has really helped me to understand where Zoe is, developmentally. She has guided me to make a few changes at home and give Zoe more freedoms. It has really opened up a whole new world to all of us. Zoe now has her own snack drawer in the fridge and can get her own cups, milk, water and snacks. She is certainly an independent child!
I'm off to sew now, but I have a few more wonderful entries planned for the blog when I can get time! Just to keep you wanting more, I throw this little tidbit out there..........
We had professional family portraits done by a local photographer. I'll post some sneak peeks next time!

Pumpkin Patch














Hi all!



I'm getting better at blogging fairly regularly now! :)



So, today was perfect weather and we took the girls to Bauman Farms for their annual Harvest activities and pumpkin patch. We met several friends there, so the girls had many playmates. Zoe had ice cream, while mom and dad had some fresh apple cider! Yum!!!!






Larry's birthday was yesterday (the big 40!), so he and I had a friend stay with the girls and we had an actual date! Just dinner and drinks, but it was nice to actually be adults for a few hours!~






I'll keep this post short and show you lots of pumpkin pictures! Watch for my next post VERY soon. It'll be about Zoe's first day at school!!!
