William's 1st day of school

Last week William started school!  He is in Mother's Morning Out one morning a week for a couple of hours.  His teachers are Ms. Julie and Ms. Sybil, just like Sophia had at this age!  I take him in after his morning nap, and he plays with toys, does art, goes outside, and has lunch.  He's doing pretty well so far....hopefully soon he will be excited to go to school each week, just like his big sister!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went up to Gainesville to the Kinsey Family Farm to a pumpkin patch.  Sophia was super excited to go.  She has been talking about the little pumpkin patch by our house since last Halloween!  We met Sophia's best friend from school up there and they had a blast playing together.  We picked out a pumpkin to bring home, went on a hay ride, fed the fish and ducks, played in the wagons, and pet some animals in the petting zoo.  We couldn't get both kids to look and smile at the same time, so we'll have to go to another pumpkin patch again before Halloween!

William's Jump Start Party

We held William's party at the gym where he takes classes during the week.  He loves Coach Todd, and we were thrilled that he would be leading the party.  We invited all of William's friends to the party, along with their families, and all of our family that lives in Atlanta.  We had a big turn out!  Coach Todd led the class for the babies while another teacher led a separate class for all of the older siblings.  After the class, we went in to the party room for pizza and cake, and then went home to open some presents.  William had a blast at his party!
