Siena's first day of School

The last month has brought us a new car, new baby, new job, a new house, new ward, and a new school, Siena's first loose tooth, and Siena's first day of Kindergarten! That's a lot of firsts! She was so excited to go and had a great time. I, on the other hand, cried the whole way home!  Tessa had a really hard time walking away from the school. She said: "i love my sister! I don't ever want to leave her!" I kept saying, "My hand is naked! Siena's hand belongs right here!" It looks like she has a good teacher, and it's so nice the school is only a block and a half from our house!!

Tessa, not happy she can't stay with her sister, lol!

The move

We are so excited to be living in Henderson! Las Vegas is finally starting to feel like home! We are still working to make the house a home (even if we are just renting). I am so grateful for my hard-working husband, and amazing friends and family who have helped all along the way (you know who you are!)
We had a great time swimming with the girls once we got all the boxes in :) The blurry images are Thad throwing Siena into the pool and Tessa jumping in - fearless!

Carpinteria Beach

My awesome friend Shauna lives a block away from the beach. So I have to visit her once a year, absolute minimum! The only time it worked this year to visit her was 2 weeks after Leila's birth (shh! don't tell my midwife!) I packed the 3 girls in the car by myself and spent a week with Shauna, enjoying the beach , the beautiful surrounding area and spent some time with my Aunt Sheryl in Ojai, while Shauna was at work. We had a fabulous week!
