Text of the page (random words):
my 3 paparazzi my 3 paparazzi sunday september 11 2011 more firsts it was a happy sad week for me isaac and leah started preschool and a new preschool at that this is isaac s third preschool and he is only 3 he doesn t remember his first one so i at least have that in my favor the good news is that he was really excited about his new school and so far he continues to really like it the classrooms are nice and big and all have windows along the entire back wall i think the brightness and cheeriness of the rooms is a big plus for him he is such an outside kid i think he needs to feel as close to nature as possible the lead teacher is a grandmother and though she has high standards she is kind and patient the mothers at the school have also been very welcoming to me too i don t know anyone either so i told isaac that we both have to try and make new friends it has been a nice transition leah s first day was a little rough she wasn t happy to leave me and then it turns out she spent a good portion of her morning being mad mad b c she had to share children kept taking her babies or her snack or she couldn t wait her turn to go down the slide etc she has a strong will and it doesn t help that we all give in to it at home in order to avoid the screaming that s just the way it is with 3 isaac on his first day wore his soccer shorts new shoes and awesome new captain america backpack on leah s first day she also wore her backpack like isaac it was so damn cute and everyone said so she kept saying bacpac to everyone who looked her way isaac s and leah s rooms are directly across the hall from each other which isaac loves he adores leah and is so happy to be close to her here leah has to have a pillow on the sofa just like isaac so they can watch crocodile hunter together which is the only show on the planet that isaac will watch a mean game of driveway field hockey not really but they do love to play and isaac can actually hold his own fairly well here leah decides to help i had to get her out or she would surely take a stick in the face posted by grace isaac leah smom at 6 12 pm no comments monday september 5 2011 july and august catch up blog i haven t blogged in forever yes i am busy but i am guessing you are too my biggest issue is that i don t download the pictures off of my camera and iphone except for maybe once a month anyway we have had a fabulous summer and i am truly sad that it has come to an end our lazy days of sleeping in and choosing amongst a variety of fun things to do for the day are over i think that is one of the reasons we sent grace to a 1 2 day kindergarten last year i just loved our freedom and i wanted to be with my kids as much as i could before real school life started and so it has up at 7am big big deal for the mitcheners and grace is home by 3 i miss her terribly she is the leader of the pack and such a huge helper but now is isaac s time and he is fulfilling his new role well he adores leah and she him and they play well together honestly they play better than when grace is home so i guess that is one of god s ways of letting me know that this new stage in life is going to be okay his other way of making this transition better is that grace loves her new school and has had absolutely no problems adjusting it s as if she has gone there her whole life she does know 3 other girls in her class and went to vbs their for a week over the summer so the campus is fairly familiar anyway i am blessed and though mourning my old responsibilities of a stay home mom with three kids am looking forward to embracing life with only two at home now the photos below are not in chronological order so beware this was taken on friday leah grabbed a kiddie shopping cart at harris teeter before i could scoop her up she was so excited i couldn t take it away we only had a few things to buy but we were in the store for about 45 min she was by far the cutest shopper there sid s 20 th class high school reunion was last weekend during hurricane irene the reunion was in atlanta so the weather was fine interesting is all i can say i was feeling a little intimidated i knew a lot of these people from our 5 years of living in atlanta and back in those days i had a good job and was climbing the ladder and now i stay home with my 3 kiddos which i love which is technically a job that anyone with children can do of course i would like to think that i am very good at my job but that is not something that you explain to old friends anyway turns out that reunions really are as superficial as everyone thinks they are no one cares if you used to have a job or not they care about the surface level things i ll let you figure that out also taken last week isaac and his best friend evan and another friend chase all flex their muscles at a local park oh and of course they had to take their shirts off too lord help us so the week before irene we had a terrible storm that took down major branches from our neighbors tree if you could only see the hundreds of old tall trees in our yards you would know it is a miracle that there was no damage oh and then two days later we had an earthquake in dc and the aftershock was felt all the way down in raleigh my first earthquake ever then a few days later irene was headed for the carolinas phew we are blessed that we are all safe with no damage august 24 grace is headed out for her first day in 1st grade she was so excited that she hardly slept this is her uniform khaki or navy skirt or shorts and a solid color polo style shirt easy thank you jesus i wish our public schools would wise up and do this so cheap i bought 4 skorts at old navy and 6 polos total cost was 40 seriously on august 13 th we did leah s baptism at janice s church in albemarle here janice is with her cousin jane grace and isaac leah is in the row behind them aunt l and uncle craig were there too pastor john did the ceremony and just did an amazing job leah was actually perfect but by this point just tired of pictures here i am with crazy isaac and sweet leah proud nana with her grandbaby leah wore the lentz family christening gown perfect since leah s middle name is lentz grace wore it as well about 5 years ago here she is in her gown with her fruit snack leah and grace love dressing up leah and her sweet pink bathing suit with tummy and her nana grandpa was in town in july for grace s birthday one day we headed down to the lake at blue jay pointe isaac and grandpa had a grand time throwing objects into the water and getting their shoes wet well maybe it was just isaac whose shoes were getting wet july 13 was grace s 6 th birthday and also the big day for ear piercing i being the overly safety conscious mother that i am took her to our pediatrician to get them pierced and round one did hurt a little yikes posted by grace isaac leah smom at 3 49 pm no comments thursday july 21 2011 happy 6th birthday grace for grace s party we hosted a luau it was a lot of work but a ton of fun and very colorful we had leis and grass skirts for everyone and that made it even more fun of course we had to have the fun cups and straws and the menu consisted of turkey cheese sandwiches popcorn bbq chips rather than bbq pig pretzel stix cheese cubes and fruit kabobs for spirits we had a delicious hawaiian lemonade i can email you the recipe if you are interested the deck was adorned with tiki torches hawaiian lanterns newly planted colorful flowers and grandpa who was in charge of videoing the happenings as well as monitor the slide which was quite a job at times by far the best part of the party was the entertaining 16 waterslide here is grace and some of her friends from kindergarten waving aunt l and isaac enjoy some refreshments isaac gets some much needed tlc since big sister is celebrating her birthday it was an absolutely perfect day with temp in the 80 s and a nice breeze we were outside the entire day what luau would be complete without the limbo i downloaded some great limbo inspiring music off of itunes and we were set turns out grace loves the cd i made i should have made copies for the goodie bags for the guests oh well nana and our neighbor lauren fill up leah s special fish cup for the party leah napped most of the party by design grace s super awesome hula girl cake that i did not make here she is about to blow out the candles and the party cooperates for a photo after everyone had left daddy goes down the waterslide breaking the 175 pound weight limit isaac follows in suit later when the owners of the slide come to pick it up isaac immediately tells them that sid went down the slide hehehe posted by grace isaac leah smom at 7 56 pm no comments wednesday july 20 2011 leah in ocean so this is how leah was in the ocean every single minute of every day no matter where we put her on the beach she would run full speed back into the ocean it was quite exhausting she never got tired or scared of the crashing waves posted by grace isaac leah smom at 12 53 pm no comments leah in the pool june 2011 posted by grace isaac leah smom at 11 30 am no comments ocean isle and sunset beaches july 2011 we returned last week from our best week at the beach yet this is the first time i have been to the beach without a baby or being fairly pregnant so even though we were juggling three kids and some sleep deprivation we all really did have a great time nana came along too she got to sleep more than we did though i think isaac did get up a few times complaining of leg pains and conned nana into some tylenol he also enjoyed waking up his sisters first thing in the morning we actually stayed on ocean isle beach and when we arrived on saturday afternoon we headed to the ocean for a proper hello and to see the look on leah s face she was in love on monday morning the 4 th of july we lined up on second street for the golf cart parade the kids caught lots of candy and even a few popsicles we rented a golf cart for the week and it was a blast going to and from the beach was a piece of cake here is nana grace and my finger on the beach digging for shells one gorgeous day we had amazing weather while we were there the kizakevich family picked us up on their boat and we went for a ride then we anchored on a little beach and let the kids swim we had a couple of jelly fish join us but paul scooped them up in a bucket and put them ashore the girls were happy just to snack on the boat several of the days we went to sunset beach as the beach is longer flatter and leaves these wonderful tide pools when the tide goes out perfect for crazy baby leah surfer girl not afraid of a thing and she really did have great balance on this we even let nana take a turn keeping up with leah in the ocean i am posting a video in the next blog with leah in the ocean so you can see for yourself how busy she is we also had a blast riding our bikes all over the island one day we drove into myrtle beach and visited the alligator adventures isaac loved the huge turtles here is leah on the 4 th of july everyone stayed up late to watch fireworks here are the kids on ocean isle beach working on a drainage system for the beach the work got very serious me and the big kids on ocean isle beach the house we rented again had a dock sid and the kids love to fish and turns out leah just loves fish here she is holding her prize fish for me to see so happy with the fish mean daddy took the fish from the baby one morning isaac and nana went down to the dock to fish isaac waited patiently with his net in the water for a fish to swim by and bam he caught one on our last night we went to cinelli s for pizza we sat on the balcony in 100mph winds it was fun posted by grace isaac leah smom at 11 00 am no comments older posts home
