Back to life back to reality

School is back in session. Flint started 1st grade. He got a wonderful teacher who we go to church with which is an answer to prayers since parents can no longer teacher request. He isn't thrilled about getting up every morning but for the most part he likes school. He is staying busy playing fall baseball. He doesn't know it yet but he is also going to be busy doing homework (there's a lot in 1st grade from what I hear).

Maddie started 3 year old preschool and she goes 3 mornings a week and can take her lunch and stay for the afternoon on any of those 3 days. She as start her first after school activity this year. She takes gymnastics or as she calls it "tnastics" every Wednesday afternoon. As you can see in the pictures she is very proud of her leotard.

Mary Claire will be 2 months old Saturday. She is still a wonderful baby and actually slept from 9:00 pm until 4:00 am last night. I actually feel some what rested.

Kearby had a little procedure done last week so we are now sure Mary Claire is the caboose. He is recovering and hasn't complained at all. I am very proud of him. He is moving into his new office in Texarkana this week and will be working there most of the time starting next week.

I am just trying to get myself back on a routine and adjust to life with 3 kids. I realized after Mary Claire was born I don't require as much sleep as I thought :) I am still wondering when all this baby weight will come off. My mom tells me after the third it never comes off but I beg to differ! Have great week!

Owen and Barbie teeth

My nephew Owen came over to play yesterday. He is 14 months and we love to play with him. He is such a love! Today Maddie, Mary Claire and I had to be in Mt Pleasant at 9 a.m. to get her new "Barbie" teeth. We go to a pediatric dentist in Mt. Pleasant who is wonderful. His name is Dr. Kenny Thompson and I highly recommend him if anyone in the area needs a children's dentist. Maddie knocked her teeth out at the beginning of the summer and she calls her new teeth "Barbie Teeth". I hope everyone has a good week. :)

Lunch Date, Daddy Time and Murphy

Here are a few pictures from this week. Our dog is a Shih Tuz and his name is Murphy. He is so good and the kids love playing with him. The picture of Kearby and the 3 kids is to show you how it is when he gets home from work, they attack him! Today Flint's little "girlfriend" Hannah called and invited him for lunch and to play at her house. Hannah's mom was so sweet to invite Maddie to go also.

New Blogger

My friends have inspired me to start blogging. I enjoy looking at their blogs so much and since I have a new digital camera and a new baby I thought this would be a good time to start. So I will start my blogging by telling you what we have been up to this summer.
About a week after school was out Flint was selected to be on the All-Star baseball team. They practiced every day and which was quiet challenging for me since I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and HOT! At the end of June they breezed through the district Tournament undefeated. Then it was back to practice because on July 6th they were to travel to Houston to compete in the state Tournament. Did I mention in the meantime on July 1st I gave birth to our third child Mary Claire Herrington. Then six days later Flint and Kearby left for Houston. The tournament lasted a week and they were wining every game. So when Mary Claire was 10 days old we loaded up headed to Houston to watch FLint's team win the State Championship.

At the beginning of the summer Maddie knocked her 4 front teeth out on my mom's tile floor. You may notice she doesn't have front teeth in most of the pictures. She is getting her new teeth as soon as the dentist gets them ready. She is a very active 3 year old to say the least. She keeps us on our toes. When you tell her not to do something she looks at you and says "yes I are."

Mary Claire is a great baby. I am nursing and she eats about every 3 to 4 hours and has even gone 5 hours at night. We have all enjoyed her so much.

Kearby is very busy at work and his uncle (who he works with) is opening a 2nd office in Texarkana where Kearby will be working most of the time. They are very excited about getting that started.

Here are some pictures from our summer. My goal is to blog about once and week to keep you informed on what's going on in our busy life. Enjoy!
