Baby girl on her first day!

So yesterday was baby girl first day of "school". We were a bit reluctant on taking her to this learning center but after reading all the great reviews and feedback we decided that we would just give it a try. A plus was that it was just around the corner of our house and my commute to work would be cut in half. When I dropped her off, I stayed with her a little bit to get used to the surroundings. I think I was more scared for her then anything. They offered her breakfast and she willingly accepted. The director needed me to fill out more paperwork and advise me that she would probably be ok. But the minute, she notice I was gone. The crying began. My gut feeling was telling me this wasn't for her and I wanted to yank her up and leave the place.But my voice of reason, told me that I needed give it chance. Not even 2 minutes later the crying had stop. So I proceeded onto work. I worried about her all day. My husband called me during work but I pleaded with him to call the center to check up on her. I was to chicken to do it cause I was fearing for the worst. To our surprise, the teacher said that she was doing quite well and no problem what so ever. We were so anxious to pick her up from school even my oldest was excited to see how her day went. When I walked in, the director told me that she did very well considering that she never been in this type of care before. They also said that they moved her up in class since she was so advanced for her age. When they showed me to her new classes I found her sitting at the table chatting it up with the other kids. I wanted to cry cause I was so proud of her. The teacher had nothing but positive things to say about her. I definately had a proud parent moment.Today I dropped her off and she actually just waved bye to me and proceeded to her table as she has been going there for years and knows the routine.

Time is flying by too fast for me as my kids are getting older and I want to press the pause button. But I now life moments like this has to keep playing, so more chapters can be developed.

Turkey Day

Yesterday, baby girls school threw a Thanksgiving lunch for all supporting members to attend. It was great and the food was muy excelente!The kids did a thanksgiving skit for all the parents. Lucky me as I was recording my phone decided to die. Blackberry has become my enemy these past few days. Hopefully Santa will be good to me and send a phone fairy my way so I can get a new one. lol.



She doesnt even look three in this picture. Its all going to fast. And only a few more weeks and baby girl will be 4yrs old.

Time Warp

Seriously these past two months has passed us by. With baby girl in school and all the craziness that has fall upon us, I dont even know where to start. I guess I can start where I left off. Bare with me it will be pretty much picture heavy towards the end.

September

HUBBY finally made it home safely.

October
Baby girls first school field trip and my husband was here to take her on it. It was to one of the pumpkin patch and corn mazes. They had a grand ole time.

My husband step sister finally tied the knot and had a beatiful wedding in Las Cruces, NM (Organ Mountains)

Our dear friends from Hollister, CA, The Munoz familia paid us a visit with our yearly Salazar Munoz reunion. The last time we saw them we were only a family a 6 that eagerly grown to a family of 8. We are hoping for a Tahoe reunion but we will see what our wallet will say especially with the holidays flowing around.

Halloween was a blast and me and husband went crafty this year and made both our girls costume. This year theme was Sesame street since my youngest is so INTO Elmo and my oldest wanted to match her. Considering it was a no sew outfit we did pretty good spending only 15 each to make it.

November

We are all back to normal with Daddy being back. Like any other military family who has a loved one deployed, getting back to the jist of things takes time for all of us. With the love and support that we had with great family and friends, we did pretty well for our first deployment. Isa is no longer crying when I drop her off to school and is eagerly wanting me to drop her off early. What a sudden change. Im loving my life and we are finally complete.

Enjoy the pics

There are mile stones that we cherish as parents and this is a major one. Come this monday my oldest will be starting preschool. There are things we cry over on achievements and this is one of them. Just thinking about it just make me tear up. Am I being a wimp or is this what all mothers go thru. I am praying for a great school year. This weekend is tax free weekend so you know that means chaos in store fronts. Thank goodness we have uniforms so I wont have to spend tons of money on new school clothes and I can stay away from the crowds. Im hoping that Im not there crying in my car when I drop her off.lol. But until then folks have a wonderful weekend. Mine will be spent prepping a preschooler!
