5 minutes for September

I love September and October.

 

My absolute favorite time of the year.

 

I'm going to try and take 5 minutes to blog our happenings so far.

 

So much as happened and we're only 9 days into the month.

 

I love it.

 

Benna was blessed on September 1st. It was perfect. He was so sweet dressed in white. These pictures make me cry. He's perfect. Benna and I went through a lot together while I was pregnant. I'm just so glad he's here and safe. We started calling him Benna because that's how Maddox pronounces his name. Hearing Maddox talk to his little brother is the most amazing thing ever. Maddox loves to tell Benna about his favorite things. Trucks, cars, squirt guns, juice, bouncy balls and Silly Putty are some of his favorite subjects. Sloane likes to tell Maddox that "Benna can't talk!", but Maddox doesn't care. He chats with Benna all day long.

 

 

 

 

My house is full on children who love to learn. Holynd and Sloane have been looking forward to Preschool since June.

 

Holynd. My little Holl-e-wood. She's still so bright and smart. She often tells us that she's a "scientist" and that she wants to "learn everything!".  I can not get over what a wonderful little girl she is.

 

My Baloanie. I could barely keep it together while I got her ready for her first day. I sobbed after she left. Sloane has more determination then most people can wish for. Her Preschool teacher just loves her (so far).

 

Sloane also got to experience her first day of dance class.

 

It didn't go well, but she had a good time. She spent the first 20 minutes running laps around the dance class, then the next 10 minutes hanging upside down on the barre. When the teacher finally got her to stand in her spot, she then decided to torture all the girls who were standing next to year. I ended up having to drag her out of her class kicking and screaming so that I could give her a time-out. Not my greatest moment. Sloane will tell you that the class was a blast!

 

My 5 minutes is up. Sloane is begging for a snack; Maddox is downstairs kicking his walls; and Bennett will be up any minute wanting to be fed.
