Although the day was overcast, gloomy and a little drizzly, it started out beautifully.
William left the house a little later than usual which contributed to some silliness as the kids were getting ready for school.
As he was about to head off to work with his backpack on, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to snap a “First Day of School” photo to add to the collection of kids on my Facebook newsfeed. Gavin and Greta got a big kick out of that! {notice Greta in the background}
Nora woke up just as it was time for Gavin and Greta to head up to the bus stop, so she insisted on seeing them off.
The rest of the day was peaceful and productive. Nora had been grouchy much of the previous night for Miss Amy. She had some sleep to catch up on, it seemed, so I got lots of little things done in a whirlwind of organized chaos. It’s always a race to get stuff done while she sleeps. Before I know it, she’s yelling out orders for milkies and she wants it yesterday!
I'm forced to snack on my hand while I wait for service around here!!
Mmmm. Milkies.
Nora has been eating really well these past few days!
A day that began so beautifully concluded much in the same way with a faint little rainbow in the sky.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
(Psalm 62:5 NIV)

I just love how chubby her little face and hands are getting and seeing her beautiful smile. Thank you so much for sharing her with the world!!
Look at those chubby little cheeks she is getting! 🙂
Love her “snacking” on her hand, sweet baby !
LOVE GRETA LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT WILLIAM WITH THAT BIG BEAUTIFUL SMILE. LOOKS LIKE WILLIAM IS PACKED, READY TO GO. WILLIAM HOPE YOUR DAY WAS A GOOD ONE AT WORK. LOVE GAVIN PUSHING NORA IN THE STROLLER SO SHE CAN SEE THEM OFF TO SCHOOL. GRETA IS WALKING BEHIND MAKING SURE GAVIN IS PUSHING THE STROLLER RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB. HA! HA! LOVE THE PICTURE OF NORA TRYING TO EAT HER HAND WHILE WAITING FOR HER MILKIES. NORA IS SO SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL. GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD DAY ALEISA AND GOT A FEW MORE THINGS DONE. THE SKY WAS REALLY PRETTY IN THE MORNING, AND THEN THE RAINBOW JUST FINISHED THE DAY OFF RIGHT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Way to go, William and Aleisa… the ‘first day of school’ pic of Wm is such a great thing. Your kids will never forget that one! Too cute! And you make it such a good day for them when you make them LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!
