Mason's First Day of Preschool

After he waited all Summer long to get back to school, Mason started Preschool today! He was so excited to be returning! He is in the 4 year old class now and in a new classroom with a new teacher. Some of his friends from last year are in his class and those that aren't, are in the classroom next door and luckily he still gets to play with them at outside/gym playtime. His first day went great and he was pretty tired tonight. I'm glad he will be occupied with school while we get adjusted to Madelyn (who is hopefully on her way very soon!)







4 year old update:
Mason amazes us everyday! He is such a sweetheart and makes us laugh all the time. He is really becoming a big boy. I took him for his 4 year old well check-up last week and he weighs 43.8 lbs and is 45 inches tall. (Still off the growth chart for his age!)
He did an eye test and a hearing test and had to get 3 shots (which was not fun for him nor to watch) He didn't feel very good over the weekend and even had a reaction on his leg to one of the shots, but thankfully he is better now--and just in time for school!
He still loves to play with cars, play computer games on NickJr.com and his new favorite show is Scooby Doo! He is also very into drawing pictures and writing his letters and numbers. He's looking forward to meeting his baby sister and helping Mommy & Daddy out with her!

So much to share

Coming soon:
The last days of playing outside this Fall
Thanksgiving with family
Christmas decorations
Mason updates
and other everyday happenings

And I will be able to share them soon because our new computer is finally on it's way! I just didn't want to upload lots of photos to the laptop (for some reason~I'm a creature of habit!) Plus it has been nice having a little "blog vacation" (you know, because it's so stressful! ha!)
I'll be back soon!

Tree Monkey

My Mom took these pictures about a month ago and I love how they turned out! And since Mason has M.I.A. from the blog pictures for a while (thanks to all the Vegas posts) I thought we all needed a big dose of cuteness!

I took him for his 3 year check-up the other day & he is off the charts again for height and weight. (No surprises there-he's always either in the 90th percentile or off the chart) He weighs 38 lbs and is 41 inches tall! What a big boy. He even got to pick a toy out of the Dr's Treasure Chest since he was potty trained. And no shots this time, so needless to say, he left there a happy kid.

He starts Preschool next week and is so excited! Of course you'll get to here all about that new adventure~wish us luck!

Updates...

Great news! Little Miss Harper is doing a lot better! She's the newborn baby of Kelly, whom I blogged about here.
Thanks for your prayers~to see the cutest pics and the full update, go here.

Wayne was back at work today and I will be returning tomorrow morning. I've been captive inside the house for 3 days now, so I'm looking forward to being a part of the outside world. Mason asked me a few times today if we could go to Mimi & Grandpa's house~I think even he was ready to leave the house.
I feel almost guilty that we never lost electricity throughout the ice storm! I hope all my family & friend's are making it ok!

I guess that's all. I have some cute pics of Mason to share, but I'm gonna go watch LOST instead! (forgive me!)
