Good bye's are never fun

This past weekend we spent our last day with my parents before they headed up to Washington. My dad got a job after a year of waiting. Excited for them but at the same time very sad to see them go. They have been down here for a little over a year. It was so nice to have them here. They were so helpful with the house, getting us moved in and with the girls. We are excited to see what else God does though.
We celebrated the kids birthday's with them. Madi opening her first present.

Autumn opening her gifts. Notice the chair that she is sitting in, that was a gift from my dad. So cute!

Here we are walking to her class room

So excited!

Her first day went great. The teacher said she had a great day and she had lot's say when we picked her up. My baby is growing up. Looking forward to all the new adventures pre-school will bring.

Friends

Autumn had a friend over today. They had a blast playing, doing play-doh and painting.

It was so cute they kept going back and forth and complimenting each other on there art work.

I hope they grow up to be close friends.

The past weeks activities

Autumn and Madi playing dress up. I think this is a small glimpse of them playing together in a few years.

Last Thursday we took Autumn to the Redlands bowl to see Cinderella. She liked it a lot. They handed out wands to all the little kids before the show and at the scene where the fairy god mother turns the pumpkin into a carriage and Cinderella gets her pretty dress she asked the kids to hold up there wands to help. So cute! At one point during the show she slid off of Tom's lap and started dancing in the isle. It was to cute. I look forward to doing more fun things like this with her.

On Friday night Tom and I had a date night. Which doesn't happen to often over here. My parents watched the girls so we could head to downtown Disney. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe

Then we headed to the House to Blues to watch the band Charity Swim (which Tyler drums for). They were really good and it was so fun so spend time together. We were out from 4pm-12:30am. We were hoping to have time to go to Disneyland but not this time. That will be another date.
