While Daddy's Away....

The girls will... go to school, soccer practice, and do some playing too!:) Daddy went on a backpacking trip to Maine with our friend Geary! They have been gone since last Wed. and are due in late tonight! Boy are we ready!:) From what I have heard I think they had a great time but are just sore and tired! We were excited that daddy could do this since it's been so long since he has really done anything for himself and done a "guys" trip! We sure did miss him though! While he was away we continued on with G's first week of school! It's been a challenge just figuring out what our routine will be from getting up and getting out the door by 8:15 to pick up times and then getting supper, baths and bedtime! I know it will get easier as we continue on! She really seems to like school and we have only encountered these past two mornings with tears.  I think it's not that she doesn't like it but just that she's so tired and separating from me and Lillie and getting in the classroom.  Her teacher has said both days that she has been fine and happy once in the classroom so that makes me feel better! She also comes home just chatting all about it in the afternoons until she goes to bed!:) I asked her tonight in the bathtub if we could just have a little quiet time because mommy needed a break and she said "mommy, I just can't help it I'm just too excited to tell you all about my day!" Wow, that just melted my heart and put me back into reality! I should be counting by blessings that my baby loves to tell me everything instead of wanting to pull out my hair sometimes that she won't stop talking! It made me really get a handle on myself too and put things into perspective, especially since Craig has been gone! So, here are some pictures of this past week while Craig has been gone! Several are of G heading out the door to school! I was taking alot for daddy so he would know what we had been doing!:) Enjoy!
 Tuesday night Craig and Geary packed all their gear up! 
 Ready to go! 
 Silly girl found a shower cap Nana had given her and was being silly after bath! 
 Cutie!
 Ready for school last Thursday!
Lillie started a tumble class on Thursday mornings! We went last Thursday for the first time and she LOVED it and giggled the whole time! It was so sweet! I love these precious little hands that are showing me her stamp she got!:)
She was so excited!
 "I got stamp" 
 Melissa and sweet Mary Laura came to visit and stay a night while the guys were gone! We had so much fun! We went to a Boutique Consignment sale and had lots of girl time!
Both my girls adore Mrs. Melissa and had the best time with her! Lillie was obsessed with Mary Laura or "baby" as she called her! It was so cute!
I got lots of snuggles from this little sweetie! It's hard to remember my girls this small! Oh how time flies!
Precious baby girl!
Gracie ready for school on Monday! She was so excited to wear her knee socks!
 My cute lunch date these days!:)
 This is what I found little stinker doing in her room yesterday! Can you say MONKEY!!
 I had to snap fast so this is blurry but then I had to get on to her and tell her we don't do that! She kept saying "again, again"! She thought that was fun!:)
Ready for school today! My big sweet girl!
