Last week -- In Pictures

First Day of Preschool

Thanks to summer school I was much more prepared to let this little man start school. He loves his class room and his new teacher adores him ( but who doesn't right!) Now I have a few hours to spend working. Here are his darling pictures.

 Can you even handle how cute he is! He makes me so happy.

 BEST BIG SISTER!

Back to School!!!

Taylor started Kindergarten today! Seriously were does the time go? I have to admit that I am heart broken to start this new part of our lives. How did this happen? Boo Hoo Boo.... Sniff Sniff ( okay enough of my mommy pity party)

She was a rock star. She walked right in. Gave her teacher a hug and took a seat next to 3 little girls. She is such a wonderful big girl, and we couldn't be more proud of her. Here is a picture play by play.

 

Yesterday was Lemonade day. Taylor got to have a sweet drink with her new teacher as well as get to know the class room. It was only an hour but a perfect way to introduce her to her new school.

Last words of the day " I got this mom"

Coopers' Lemonade day was today and he will start school on the 3rd of September. His sweet pictures to follow!

This has been a very hard week for members of the Williams Syndrome community. Two perfect little people went to heaven this week, and I have to tell you that it seems so unfair. I could never imagine the pain of loosing a child and my heart just breaks thinking of these families and the devastation that they must be going through.

Snuggling my babies extra tight these days and we never know what is around the corner. What I do know is that we need to live every single day to it's fullest. Every single moment should be spent making this life better for ourselves and everyone that we come in contact with. Life is to short my friends!

After Cooper was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome. Dusty and I talked about making a family motto, something that we thought of every time we walked through the door or started a new project. MAKE IT COUNT! Whatever it is that you are doing you better make it count. If you plan on spending one tiny moment away from the people who love and support you, you better make it count! I can't think of a time where this motto rings more true

Please send your prayers to our sweet Williams families. Snuggle you babies extra tight today and make it count for goodness sake!!!
