Lots of "Firsts"

Might as well keep up the blogging while I'm on a roll! The past couple weeks have brought many "firsts" for the Hafen household...

• Benny Boy started kindergarten...woohoo!

He was so excited to go and is still loving it 2 weeks in. We'll see how long it lasts!

• A week later, Mr. Mo started preschool with Miss Janette...

He got a little taste of school over the summer with Miss Janette, but this was his first official day and he LOVES it there.

Of course, with Sadie, there are "firsts" happening all the time. She turned 4 months old yesterday (gasp!) and here's what she's been up to...

• She's more interested in toys and playing games

She's actually smiling at her goofy brothers here.



Had to share this one just to show off her scrumptious thighs :)

Pretty much every smile you get from her is a mouth-wide-open-tongue-sticking-out kind of smile. Love it!

• She had her first taste of rice cereal this morning (can't you just tell by looking at her that she must be starving...haha).

She's got the "open wide" part down!



Now we just need to work on getting more in our tummy than we do on our face/bib :)

I think she liked it though.  Her "firsts" seem like they're coming way too fast...slow down a little, baby girl!

End of Summer Catch Up: Part 4

I'm back with the final summer catch up post...yippee! The original plan was to spend our last weekend of vacation in Afton, Wyoming with my brother and his family and go to my new little nephew's baby blessing at church. Sadly, John had a work conflict come up at the last minute, so we had to settle for a shorter trip to visit them, but miss the baby blessing. It sure was a fun quick trip though, complete with...

A cook-out in the mountains...

More 4-wheeler rides...

A slumber party for the cousins...

A fairy-tale adventure with princess Whitney...

And some BIG news for my little sister brought to us by cute cousin, Mason...

We had so much fun on our summer road trip, even if we did put over 3,000 miles on the "swagger wagon"! The trip home was not nearly as fun, but we survived and it was good to be home in our own beds once we finally got there. Now it's back to real life and the normal routine of things. Until next summer...
