B and Z Well Visits

Brooklyn and Zachary had their check-ups together this year back in September. They are both doing great, praise the Lord!

Brooklyn weighed 75 lbs (79th percentile) and was 54 3/4 inches tall (83rd percentile). Her BP was 109/79 and BMI 75%. She is definitely a growing girl and it was a pretty swift and easy visit with no issues or shots.

Zachary weighed 22.4 lbs (10th percentile) and was 33 inches tall (20th percentile) with head circumference at 15th percentile. Zach is an active and chatty little man who is trending much smaller than each of his sisters at this point. A couple shots for him that he had little issues with and the flu shot.

Brooklyn Turns 9!

Just one year away from double digits for our biggest girl! I am continually amazed by her ability to lead when necessary and love unconditionally. We spend B's birthday at the house, low-key with just us. We had super sweet friends that stopped by to show her some love and that made the day so incredibly special for her. We had dinner out at a pizza place, yummy hula-themed cookie cake and shot off glowing rockets at dusk. Such a fun time celebrating our sweet girl!

First Day of School 2018

Brooklyn and Cayleigh were starting their first day and Morgan was going to her meet the teacher...it was a very exciting morning for our house! Brooklyn starting 3rd Grade, Cayleigh in 1st Grade and Morgan in Pre-K, her last year before starting school with her sisters (which she can not wait for).

This year, Morgan would be going to school at the church Monday-Thursday rather than MWF, like we had done with everyone in the past. The beloved teacher that both B and C had was beginning to teacher a new class and I really wanted Morgan to have Ms. Robin also. And prayerfully, the big girls returned to Haslet Elementary for the 2018 school year.

Brooklyn and Mrs. Guy

We worked hard to keep these sweet girls from more change in their school situation and God blessed us with that ability. We are very excited for the growth we will see in them at school and also foster at  home.

Ms. Robin and Ms. Susan and several new teachers were in store for Morgan. Both her spanish and music teacher were new and they were beginning a new STEM class for more hands-on learning.

The following day was Morgan's first day! She was super excited!

Meet The Teacher

Earlier in the week we received an email telling us who Brooklyn and Cayleigh's teacher for the new school year. Mrs. Parrish was a teacher that Cayleigh already knew and really wanted. She also learned that her two best friends, Layla and Jack, also would be in her class, so she was over the moon leading up to actually meeting her teacher. Brooklyn, however, really wanted one teacher and found out she would have Mrs. Guy. She was pretty bummed and nervous. Thankfully, her insecurities were laid to rest when she spoke with a friend from church who had her the year before. Meeting Mrs. Guy and seeing her room made everything great again.

The girls were so glad to be back at the same school and seeing some of their closest friends in the hallways at Meet the Teacher Night. We are praying for the best year for our big girls and so grateful that they love school.

Gampa's Bday and Rodeo

We went over to Gamma and Gampa's house for dinner and swimming on Gampa's actual birthday. We loved the individual time!

The annual Mesquite Rodeo was a blast too! They had the kid area set up beforehand so everyone got to meet some of the female trick riders and Zach beamed during the pony ride. Lots of good entertainment and fun times with the Hein family.
