Back To School

Yesterday marked the start of a new school year for Ellie and Jackson. They both seem to be adjusting very well. Jackson's teacher is Ms. Katherine. Ellie had Ms. Katherine last year, so we already knew she was great.

Ellie's teacher is Ms. Rhonda. We have been very impressed with her already. She seems to know how to handle Ellie's OCD and perfectionism.

I love watching my children grow and learn.

Laurie Beth and Andy's Wedding

Last weekend the Moore's traveled to Sylacauga for Laurie Beth and Andy's wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding and fun weekend. However, it was a very busy weekend so I didn't have a chance to take many pictures. I did manage to get a couple pictures of the world's cutest flower girl and handsome ring bearer.


Ok, so not everything went according plan. Moments before the wedding began Jackson had a major melt down and decided that it was too hot, his shoes were too small and he could not walk out there. After pleading with him effortlessly throughout the entire processional it was his turn to go. As a last ditch effort, I gave him a shove and told him to go. Miraculously he grabbed his sister's hand and went. I was shocked! He stood up there (and I use stood loosely because he stooped, squatted and bent over bootie in air) the whole time. Ellie saw her brother stooped over and slid slowly over to him and placed her hand on his elbow to lift him up. She then resumed her position on her side of the stairs. Throughout the ceremony Jackson would place his hands over his ears and say "my feet are hurting and my ears are burning". Despite the hurting and the burning the Moore's were happy to get to be a part of Laurie Beth and Andy's special day.
