So... After lots of thinking and talking and praying we decided that it would be best if Ella moved into the "big kid" school this year. WOW. It was hard for several reasons. At St Rose the Pre-K is full time, last year durning registration I asked if there was a part time option b/c Ella (and I ) were simply not ready for full time. They started a new program that allowed 4yr olds to hang back at the ECC. This was great.
A lot of things have changed since then, that slowly weighed on me...The new baby coming in June, a possible move over the summer, and crazy Ainsley. I decided that a new baby, a new school, possibly a new country and going to school full time was just too much change for Ella over the summer. At least if she moved now she would get used to everyday and once less thing to 'change' over the summer for her.
and probably the bigger motivator, Ainsley. that kid is like 3 kids in one, and she has never had any one on one Mama time, since they both go to mothers day out at the same time. I knew she needed this before baby.
First week was rough, but as long as I STICK to the routine!! she is fine :) If Im late or miss the bye bye gate wave, she looses it :(
And I was right with Ainsley too. The first couple of days were rough, I didnt realize how much they entertain each other!! but she has grown so much with some one on one time and we even knocked out potty training (YIPPEEEE!) in the first week!!

Nola wedding...
We were greatly honored to be invited to a good family friends wedding in New Orleans. New Orleans will always have a special place in our hearts since its our first "home". In some ways I wish we would have gotten married there, but there is no way it would have been as perfect as this wedding! Wedding in the Cathedral, second line march down the square and to the reception inside Jax bewry. WOW! We had a blast, it was beautiful. And a nice little romantic weekend for us to remind us of where we started.
Congrats to Loni Kay and Troy. Beautiful wedding!
