Picture of the Week: First Day of School!


This summer flew by, and before we knew it, it was the first day of school. We took all of our traditional pictures, and I couldn't get over how much Grace and Char have grown, even just since last year. I love watching them blossom in school, and they're both excited to get back to hanging with their friends every day at recess. Both of them currently want to be teachers, but Grace also wants to be a famous singer to make lots of money.








Of course Perry had to get in on the picture action once she saw sisters getting theirs taken.


Char played with my camera, while I got Brother in the car and left me this gem.


We met up with some friends before school for some quick pictures and then headed to the girls' classrooms.


Grace was super excited, while Charley was her nervous self. She always gets so shy in new settings, but it doesn't take her long to fit right in.


Isaac and I stayed home with Perry and Brother for the day, so I tried to get a video of him rolling over. He never performs when the camera is rolling.


He is still liking his new bouncer and napped in it on Tuesday at the office.


He hung out and played with his new lovey on Wednesday before taking a long nap in his rocker.


Thursday he was all about the play mat and staring at himself in the mirror.


He tried rolling over some more, but that little arm just kept getting in his way.


Gracie got her braces off and looked like such a big girl!


Perry hung out with Brother, while I cooked dinner, and he tried to talk to her. I love when he attempts to have conversations with us.


She brought home the cutest little bus picture to celebrate the start of a new school year.


Gracie had a sleepover at Auntie Geni's and had so much fun playing with Chase and Kaitlyn. 


Perry played with Bro Bro, while Daddy and I got ready to head to our fantasy football draft party.



He made us all wear Raiders gear, so we had to get a cute family photo.


The babies all hung out together, as per usual.


We completed our draft, and I'm pretty excited about my team this year, although NFL.com says I'm not projected to win many games.


We went swimming at the Luks' house on Sunday, and the kiddos had a blast together. Brother even got in on the pool action.




Another fun week is in the books, and we're all happy that school has started. It's nice to be back into our usual routine.

See ya next week!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
