So another year down and another milestone behind us. Its like this strange bitter sweet thing. You are getting so big and becoming this little girl that will define you, but at the same time I'm losing the baby and it becomes bitter sweet. I can't help but be a little sad about it.

We are embracing all the changes coming to us at the big milestone of turning 3. I'm doing my best to embrace all changes anyway.

This big change is you started preschool. You've been going for 3 weeks now. The first week it was so sad, you were so upset leaving mom and dad for the first time. The second week was much better and you really started to settle in and become accustomed to the routine... even tho you tried to get out of going. On the first day of the second week you got sick and I let you take a day off, well you learned that being sick got you out of school so when you woke up you said "I'm sick" and we were both like "you are okay enough to go to school" on the way out you said "This sucks" Its so funny because its only preschool, just wait baby it gets worse ;)

So with you going to school and I have the day off I'm actually able to get caught up on stuff. Its strange not having you here right now since I usually always have you if I'm home, but I'm taking the opportunity to get our project life album caught up, printing photos, cleaning house, cleaning the car, and running errands. I have my coffee in hand and great music... I can get a lot completed with those in hand.

Comparing photos

So I just checked out this blog online.. And the photos look terrible. I was trying these new applications and I'm wondering if they are causing the photos to come out worse. I know the canon we have takes the best but it slows me down when I have to carry it, process them, upload them, and so on... So I always love the camera phone for quick snapshots. Maybe just maybe I need to wipe the dust off the canon and get back on track!!

So here is the exact same photo with the different applications- let's see

You had so much fun and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to start another year!!

Another week down and time to move on to October!! Of course things are starting to get hectic tho. October is always the worst when you work retail like I do. It's the start of the Halloween season... Which rolls right into November which is the start of the holiday shopping.. And into December which is the bane of my existence.

This week:

Gymnastics on Sunday-

And then we had mommy+daughter time

We are listening too

And we are party planning

We even picked out the birthday outfit

And we spent time creating together. 

I'm finishing up the week in the life spread... Still have like 2 days to go

I also got in the new sunshine kit!! It will be year 4 kit of choice. I absolutely love Emma and Elsie of a beautiful mess so it was the perfect choice 

Outside

Inside

I'm also hooked on a new read- it's the angel series by heaton... I seriously have an issue reading hopelessly romantic paranormal reads /shrugs 

Currently- 9/21

Yay it's Sunday which means 

1. It's daddy's last night at his job and he'll start his new job Monday

2. Mommy is officially on vacation!! 

3. You get to go to gymnastics again

...

So what happened this week???

We had uncle Ryan's birthday. Unfortunately we couldn't see him but we got him these- 

I spent most days stuck at work...

But I did pull some wins and almost wins this week. 

We also hung out with aunt Sam- 

And we got super organized after we updated our phones with the new iOS 7

With iCloud and the calender app we can keep us all synced and share between phones.

This morning I got a girl at work this cake- super funny right??

And we accomplished some more party stuff. I'll make an entire party post soon I'm sure

And you were helping

Wait I think you just made a mess ;) 

Can't wait to see what all happens next week

I continue to embrace my one little word-change. I've seen what the change is every week and I love it. 

9/14 and 9/15 week in the life

So I'm a little late on this one but hey... It's up right??!

I love this project and happy I was able to document an entire week for year 2... So close to turning 3 now.
