MDO - First Day

Emily Kathryn started MDO last week. I was nervous the first day. She did very well and lets just say she wasn't the one that cried. I'm so excited to start this new adventure with EmK, but I can't believe my baby is old enough for school!! Here are some pictures...too many I'm sure...but it's so hard to decide.

She loves her backpack...and actually didn't want to take it off during her second day of MDO:)

We're still working on the correct way to wear your backpack:)

Disney World

We spent Labor Day Weekend with part of my family at Disney World. My sister's family stayed for a week and invited us down to stay with them. We HAD a blast!!! It was SO hot, but the lines were very short! Jordan, Emily Kathryn, and I flew to Orlando and my mom and sister picked us up from the airport. Great flight there...not so great home, but it was SO worth it! Here are some pictures from our trip.

EmK's first plane ride. The trip there was GREAT (it was a straight flight to Orlando). We ate LOTS of gummy worms and watched lots of Dora.

Emily Kathryn was terrified of the Disney characters. I thought she might eventually warm up, but it never happened. Needless to say our "autograph" book is pretty empty:(

I tried to sneak a picture with Piglet, but my girl is very smart!!

How cute are they in their matching t-shirts...THANKS Katrina!

Watching Mickey from a very large distance

Elizabeth wanted to ride everything with her aunt and I loved it. I was thinking that there will be a day she might not think I'm very cool so I'm soaking in all this time:)

My sister's kids

We're just missing Charlie, and Janna and their twins:)

EmK loved this cup from the Rainforest Cafe and Elizabeth was sweet enough to let her have it.

We went to Downtown Disney for some shopping and the kids decided to stop for a little dancing. My pictures don't even capture how fun this evening was. There were tons of kids dancing and Emily Kathryn was right in the middle. She LOVED it! I just wish I had remembered my video camera!

EmK loved playing at the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground. She loved all the slides!
