Macie is Flipping Out

This year I signed Macie up for her first gymnastics class and to say she was excited was an understatement!  She was ready all day and it was hard for her to wait for her "nastics" class to start.  When we got there she was thrilled to see her buddies from school too.  They were so sweet giving each other big hugs.  She had fun jumping and flipping all day.  Her flips looked more like rolls, but she didn't care.  It's going to be a fun year!

First Day of First Grade

Oh Morgan.  She is now a First Grader!  All summer long I have been dreading this day.  But she was so ready and so excited to go, that it made me excited too.  Her first year in Tupelo Public Schools started off perfectly at Carver Elementary.  She found out earlier that she would have Ms. Roberts as her teacher and that Anne Bailey would be in her class too!  On her first day Jeff and I walked her in to her room.  She barely even gave us a hug bye!  She had a great day and we are all looking forward to a wonderful year!

 Ready to go!

Swimming Summer Away

Morgan had been begging to have a swimming party for her friends at GaGa and Pop's house all summer.  We finally made it happen the weekend before school started.  Once Morgan got the ok from the doctor we were ready.  Morgan had been really sad when she realized her whole group of friends from First Methodist won't all be in the same school next year.  These sweet girls have been together since they were two and I know Morgan will miss seeing them everyday.  They had fun swimming together!

My Sick Babies

We spent the end of summer where we didn't want to be- at the doctor's office!  Both girls were diagnosed with infantigo that came with a staph infection.  Morgan also had a scalding rash with hers which really scared our doctor.  Poor girls did not feel well- especially after two days with Dr. Nikki, shots and blood work.  Thankfully Dr. Nikki sent us home and not to the hospital.  After 10 days of antibiotics we finally got back to normal.  Hanging out inside was not how we wanted to spend our last weeks of summer!  But we were very thankful it didn't get worse either.
