I cannot wait for the craziness that is this Summer to end.  Fall arrives in two weeks and I hope that all will be back to normal, well as normal as possible by then.

Saturday we celebrated Apple’s third birthday.  I was asked to shoot a wedding with CL Buchanan Photography on Saturday and just didn’t want to pass that opportunity up.  Hubby and I decided that Apple wouldn’t really remember me not being there and we would have her party on Sunday.  So really, she got two birthdays.

We served her cupcakes for breakfast after having present opening in bed.

The plate hadn’t hit the table and the candles were out.

She had a fabulous day as did I. Sunday we had the Grandparents and cousins over so she got to have a whole second day of presents and cake, which was what it was all about.  Well that and singing Happy Birthday over and over and over again.

Move over Birthdays (for now) and hello to first day of school. J was excited as was Apple.  She really wanted to join her big brother but we kept telling her that she had to be four.  One more year.

J was handsome as ever and eager to see who was in his class.  He thankfully got a class inside and not in a portable and one of his best buds is in his class, for that I am thankful.  He loves his teacher and is enjoying having gym every day. So far so good, he is loving school.  I just hope we can keep that momentum going until June.

I hope you have all been keeping up with your 100’s?  Workout Wednesdays aren’t done, just haven’t had time to blog about it.  Either I get to exercise or I get to blog and well, my gut says I need to exercise right now. Keep going with them, I will have a new challenge for you next week.

It would also be terrible of me not to acknowledge that today is my Sister’s (40….something…) birthday!  Happy Birthday big E!  Love ya.  And without Mom and Dad who have been married for 44 years today, we wouldn’t be having birthday wishes for any of us.  Love you Mom and Dad. 44 year who would have ever thought?

Life is Good…
