Kindergarten, bike rides, and of course my baby

It was a big week at the Brennan household. The major event was Kinsley starting kindergarten. She was really excited the first day and has had a good first week. She made a friend in her class. They were both wearing Twinkle Toes shoes and I guess they bonded over fashion. She also has a boy "friend" that she is just swooning over. Justin is just thrilled at that thought. Apparently she is a big helper to her teacher too. I'm anxious to see how next week goes!

Breakfast on her 1st day
It was early even by our standards.

I was more nervous than she was.
On the trails, walking to school.
This week Colby also started his Sports Skills class at Little Gym. It was 10 boys ages 3 and 4, and it was wild. Colby had a blast the whole time. I knew he was outgoing but even he surprised me with how he talked to his instructors and the other kids. When he got out of class, I asked him if he made any friends. He said, "Yeah, but my new friends were shy to me and that little guy wasn't strong enough to ride my tractor." I wish I could be a fly on the wall in that class.

For Colby's birthday, we got him a bike. Yesterday he was riding it and fell off. Even though he wasn't crying, Justin convinced him rubbing grass on his boo boo would help take the sting out.

Look at that concentration
He also got to ride his new scooter from Mimi and Pops.
No day outside would be complete without working on his tractor.
Of course I had to include some pictures of our Hadley Sophia.

I could just pinch these cheeks all day!

We're Baaaack!

Wow, so it's been a while since I updated the blog. We've been busy the past few weeks. First Mimi came to stay with us for a week and helped out a lot. Kinsley had VBS at a local "mega church" that week too. Then we went to Mississippi for two weeks and had a blast. We went to the square and saw the trains, Chuck E Cheese, bowled, swam, and visited lots of friends. There are tons of pics from that week but since Mimi took them, I thought I would post ones she hasn't seen.

While at Mimi's, Colby turned 3 and had the Brennan traditional pancakes with a candle for breakfast.
Then we had a Thomas the Train party with all our MS friends. The cake was fabulous!
Look at that effort!
It's taking a while to get back into the swing of things now. Kinsley started dance this week and we met her Kindergarten teacher last night. She starts school bright and early Monday morning! Colby will start his Sports Skills class at Little Gym this week and pre-school next week. As for Hadley, she is growing like a weed! I love the chubby baby stage! She went to the doctor yesterday for her 2 month appointment. Her stats were: weight 11.2 lbs. height 22 inches. She's in the 50th percentile on weight and 40th in height.

Isn't she a doll?!
Big sis loves to get in the picture with her.
Getting Colby to pose is a totally different story.
Wild Child!
Cute in polka dots

She finally likes her swing!
