Sophi's first day of preschool...and 2nd

My sweet little baby started preschool this week and she loved it. I posted her first and second days because I thought she just looked so cute. She was so excited to go. When I picked her up from school the first thing she said to me was, "Mommy I had fun". She is doing so great and i'm so glad that she's happy. It was crazy to see her walk into class that first day. I mean, wasn't she just born. Should I still be nursing her, she's my baby.(just kidding) I know this sounds so cliche, but they really do grow up too fast. I could hardly keep from bawling when I drove away from her school. I called my Daddy after I dropped her off to see if he had any words of wisdom for me. He started to tell me how he remembered taking me to the little Lutheran preschool in Biloxi. That didn't make me feel much better. Anyway, she is really enjoying it so far and I guess I can handle being away from her a few hours a week.

Austin

This past weekend we went to Austin with some friends. We had a blast and officially love Austin. I wish we could move there. Best of all, we were able to meet Mary and James there. It was so good to see them and I can't wait for the day when we all live by each other again. Here are some pictures of us. Donny was able to go to the first University of Texas game of the season, which he loved of course. It was fun to just go and hang out. Austin reminds me of Portland, OR. Everybody's so nice and laid back. Maybe we can retire there.
