I was shocked when I calculated how long my parents had children in school.
I started preschool in 1991 and my youngest sister graduated high school in 2014.
23 years of first days of school.
5 children, a handful of different schools and years of ice cream Sundays for breakfast!
This week marked my first day of school as a parent when I sent sweet Hunter off to preschool.
He requested waffles for breakfast but I was sure to sneak in a scoop of ice cream to keep the Goold Family "ice cream Sundays for breakfast" tradition alive.
Although I felt a little pit in my stomach to start this new phase of life, Hunter made it very clear he was ready.
We walked to school in the morning, he planted a big sloppy kiss on my cheek and didn't look back!
The second day he was excited to learn new things and promised he would be good for Ms. Brigette.
He came home proudly sharing with the world that "D says 'duh' for Dog".
I will say, I was pretty proud.
I'm so excited for this new adventure for Hunter.
Being 3 years old means lots of exciting new things and preschool is just the start.
Happy First Week of PreSchool Hunter Edward.

Baby girl is EIGHT MONTHS OLD.
We are all falling more and more in love with her as her little adorable personality is becoming bigger then our tiny little peanut herself.
Maybe it's the adorable red hair or her two little teeth grin or her high pitched squeal when she gets overwhelmed with excitement, whatever it is, we honestly cannot get enough of her.
Happy Eight Months Hayden Elizabeth.

Compare me to Big Brother at Eight Months old here
-
I have two teeth and brother was just getting his first.
I can army crawl and brother was only scooting backwards.
Brother weighed SIX pounds more then I do at Eight Months.
-
Another month gone.
I'm always a little behind on these monthly updates but they are absolutely a priority because I LOVE looking back at how she has grown.
Our little one is quiet the grower.
Everyday I am amazed at how much she is growing, changing and learning.
I love watching Hunter recognize that she is more of a mover these days and he has shown a lot of interest in playing with her.
It's so fun to watch.
