P*O*T*T*Y

It's a really big day-- Claire is going to school with big girl underwear tomorrow! We had a parent/teacher conference with Claire's teacher and she told us it was time to start the transition to underwear instead of pull-ups. We did a practice run this evening and had 2 accidents. Miss Brenda told us to send Claire to school with lots of underwear tomorrow... and wardrobe changes. We'll see how this goes. There's sure to be stories!

Oh and Mommy is going to bed at 9:10 tonight :)

Birthday

Looking back at Timehop pictures I've been in some awesome locations during my birthday, by design :) Last year it was Spain and the year before it was Hawaii. This year was Houston...but we're going to Puerto Rico next month, does that count?!

Anyway, we may be home, but I had a great birthday. I was completely surprised. Somehow Ross got my girlfriends to our house for dinner without me knowing. And he picked up food. All capped with an ice cream cake curtesy of Steph. So fun. Let's do it again tomorrow?

The excitement has me all worn out. Till next time!

Daily Report

The girls school just started doing online daily reports and it has rocked my world. For example, when I'm at work I get a notification on my phone when baby P eats so I know it's time to pump. The report also summarizes the day which helps me ask Claire questions at the dinner table. We can read about the potty, or in Claire's case lack thereof. 

As apart of this new digital format they send pictures of the girls, which is the best thing ever to working mommy and daddy. Look at the description at the bottom...

 I mean how cute is that Doctor?

Light the Night

Just wanted to pass along a message from Ross's momma, who is coordinating a Light the Night "team" to walk in memory of Ross's dad, Lee Huebel.  Here are the details:

************
Dear family and friends,
     I want to invite my family and friends to join me again this year in support of my fundraising efforts to find cures for the treatment of lymphoma and leukemia.  Would you consider joining me in this fight to save lives in Lee's memory?  You can walk with me , and/or make a donation to the RLH team (Remembering Lee Huebel team), and/or pray for the elimination of this disease.  Details are below.

Details:
Saturday October 8 at 5:30 PM
University of Houston

For more info, or to donate online, visit http://pages.lightthenight.org/txg/Houston16/LHuebel

      If you plan to walk with our team, please let me know. I will be providing a light picnic supper for us to enjoy together prior to the actual walk. Please feel free to invite anyone to join us!

     Some of you have already committed to walking and have given donations. Thank you so, so very much! I'm sending this info to inform you of the light supper I will be providing.  If you have walked with me in previous years, make sure you note that the location of the walk has changed to University of Houston.

Thank you dear ones! Laura

iPhone September Round-Up

Here's this week in pictures:

Blueberries for Breakfast

Sisters on the zoo mat.

"Need Up", "Hold Me"

Claire was not sure about the Waterwall.

Sidenote: Ross and I got engaged at the Houston Waterwall and neither of us had been back since, so it was fun to go back and take the girls.

Little Paige isn't so little anymore

"Wear your favorite color to school" day. Can you tell Claire's favorite is orange?!

Early morning staring contest

"First day back at work" flowers

August Family Pictures

It was raining all day, then cleared up just in time to get some family pictures. All things considered the girls did great, probably because Granna was in the background dancing around trying to get some smiles :)

Thanks Jordan!
